If you can stretch to £19.99 the Samsung Galaxy A50 is available from Carphone Warehouse and worth a look. It has a decent battery as well as a headphone jack which I know is important to some people.
You could alternatively look at an iPhone 6s also from Carphone Warehouse and again £19.99 my only concern would be how much longer Apple will support it for in terms of updates which is becoming increasingly more important these days in terms of security.
Happy to take a DM if you want to ask any questions.

I'll leave you with this advice, take it however you want:
An Android phone is an iPhone for retards
That doen't bother me at all. I want something simple to drive, as I have very little use for a smartphone outside of the medic bleep app I'll have to be using in my new job next month.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

New job well done m8.
Permanent post doing critical care outreach at [redacted] hospital. Did months on secondment last year and must have impressed someone as the team matron essentially ordered me to apply, provided a reference and provided a fair bit of pre-interview advice.

I've had a OnePlus 3 (android) for a few years now, great phone does everything well for peanuts compared to other better known brands and still going strong. You might be able to get one of their phones cheap, I'm sure the newer models are even better.

Nokia's new line of android phones are very good and come in much cheaper than apple, samsung etc for the same experience. Where phones are concerned, you don't necessarily get what you pay for. People are quite tribal about the brand they like and will pay extra for whatever logo is slapped on it.

Interesting enough, my network provider is offering a much better upgrade deal on an iphone than a Galaxy.
I'd exclude Samsung phones from the rule as they use their own front end and are similarly overpriced, I mean android phones that run on stock or near-stock android, i.e. htc, huawei, motorola etc.

Huawei's own front end is awful, Samsung's new front end is much better than it used to be and much closer to stock Android these days whoever you buy from barring Google Pixel/One Plus will have their own front end.
In fairness you can download a launcher from the Play store and it will just look like stock Android although this is probably too technical for the OP.

Buy an Android One handset.
There.
I don't disagree but there are plenty of easy workarounds which was the point I was trying to make but yes fundamentally I completely agree with you :)

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me.
Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing.
Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial.
Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid.
Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.
Buy a cheap import from Amazon and get a sim only deal! £7.50 a month for 2GB of Data, Unlimited texts and calls. Money back on Data if don't use it all. Will work out cheaper long term as some imports around £50 using Android 7.0!
You mention battery life so this might work for you https://www.motorola.co.uk/products/moto-g-power-gen-7 My son has had Motorolas which have served him well. Always apple for me but not within your budget. To pay £15 a month you will almost certainly have to commit to 24month contract, you should consider buying outright and getting sim only from around £8 per month.

I'd agree with this in general, unless you can get a very good deal on a handset from a network, buying your own handset outright and then going-sim only will always work out cheaper.
If you don't want to go for an imported handset, the Motorola Moto range has some very decent budget handsets. The Moto C for example is just £70 and is Android 7, quad core etc. No direct experience with that one, but other Motorola handsets I've had have been great.
