Probably done before but can the knowledgeable suggest something
suitable for the following spec:-

Modest price
Navigation
Robust
good battery life

I have just side-graded to a 2 year monthly contract with 4Gb data
but have no interest in video chats etc. Preferably something that
can withstand being dropped.

Huawei - if you don't want a rooted phone
Xiaomi - if you do

All phones are sensitive to being dropped but having a wallet type of
case improves the chances hugely. I cracked a screen once and had it
repaired under warranty because there were no marks on the case.

mail?


I have and Xiaomi MI A2 which so far has worked well. I did try to
unlock it for fun but was unsuccessful, perhaps just as well as one
banking app said it would not work on a phone that had been unlocked.


Which bank? Root can be easily hidden from banking apps.

I had to wait a week for my unlock code. At least Xiaomi allow you to
unlock the bootloader and its free.

Thank you for the link. It was Nationwide. I dislike the app as someone
with the phone gets three goes at guessing a 4 digit pin number to
access the account.
