Best Phones Under £100 UK 2026 - Current Live Picks

If you are shopping under £100, the best buy is usually the phone that is actually in stock today, not the model that looked good six weeks ago. Refurbished budget stock moves quickly, so this guide has been refreshed around the current live PhonesOutlet catalogue.

Every phone below is listed under £100 at the time of this update, has live stock, and is unlocked or SIM-free where the product page confirms network status. If you want the full price-led range, start with the phones under £100 category.

Quick verdict

The best overall pick under £100 right now is the Motorola Moto G62 5G. It is £99, in Superb condition, unlocked, and gives you 128GB storage with 4GB RAM.

If you want the cheapest usable phone, the Motorola G10 at £49 is the one to check first. For a low-cost Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy A04s Dual Sim is the live option at £60. If storage matters most, the Motorola Moto G30 gives you 128GB for £65.

What to expect from a phone under £100

At this price, the sensible goal is not flagship performance. You are looking for a reliable everyday phone for calls, WhatsApp, banking, browsing, maps, music, school apps, delivery work, or a backup handset.

Storage matters more than most people think. A 32GB phone can work if you keep apps and photos light. A 64GB phone gives more breathing room. A 128GB phone is much easier to live with if the phone will be used every day.

Condition matters too. Fine condition can be good value if you do not mind visible wear. Superb is the cleaner choice if the phone is a gift or a main daily handset. Stock is limited on refurbished phones, so prices and availability can change quickly.

Best overall: Motorola Moto G62 5G

The Motorola Moto G62 5G is the strongest under-£100 option in the current stock. It is listed at £99 in Superb condition, with 128GB storage, 4GB RAM and unlocked network support.

That combination makes it the easiest recommendation if your budget can stretch to the top of the bracket. The storage is generous for the price, 5G support gives it a bit more life, and Superb condition is useful if you want something that feels cleaner in hand.

Choose this if the phone will be used daily and you want the safest all-rounder under £100.

Best cheapest pick: Motorola G10

The Motorola G10 is the current entry point at £49. It is listed in Superb condition with 64GB storage and unlocked network support.

This is the practical choice for a spare phone, a first phone, or someone who only needs the basics. It is not the one to buy for heavy multitasking or lots of photos, but for calls, messages, light browsing and everyday apps, it keeps the cost very low.

At £49, the main appeal is simple: it gets you a working smartphone from a familiar brand without going near contract pricing.

Best Samsung under £100: Samsung Galaxy A04s Dual Sim

The Samsung Galaxy A04s Dual Sim is the current Samsung pick under £100. It is £60 in Fine condition, with 32GB storage, 3GB RAM, black colour and unlocked network support.

This is best for buyers who prefer Samsung's Android layout and want a simple, low-cost handset. The 32GB storage is the main limitation, so it suits lighter use better than app-heavy daily use.

Choose it for calls, WhatsApp, banking, school basics and general browsing. If you need more storage, the Motorola Moto G30 or Moto G62 5G is the stronger route.

Best storage value: Motorola Moto G30

The Motorola Moto G30 is £65 in Fine condition and stands out because it gives you 128GB storage with 4GB RAM.

That makes it a good middle ground: cheaper than the Moto G62 5G, but with the same storage amount. It is a sensible option if you expect to keep more apps, photos, downloads or WhatsApp media on the phone.

It does not have the same 5G angle as the Moto G62 5G, but for everyday 4G use, the price and storage balance is strong.

Which under-£100 phone should you buy?

Buy the Moto G62 5G if you want the best overall option. Buy the Moto G10 if you want the lowest price. Buy the Samsung Galaxy A04s if you specifically want a Samsung. Buy the Moto G30 if you want the most storage for the money.

Because refurbished stock is limited, the right answer can change as soon as a single unit sells. Check the live phones under £100 category before ordering, or browse the wider phones under £200 range if you want more choice.
