Default NHS app and vaccination passport.

My phone is a Galaxy S4. Works just fine as a phone and camera and the
things I want a phone for. But too old for the NHS app - which was
presumably written by a pal of BoJo, given I can't see what's so special
about it that it needs the latest phones.



That's probably because some facility it uses is not on older phones. Or,
the older phone doesn't run the latest software. I've got this problem on
an iPhone which I've only had for a couple of years. Can't get TomTom
traffic on it.




I use the mobile so little for outgoing calls I'm happy with PAYG. And BT
hotspot Wi-Fi access round London, for my parking app, etc.


If I do have to buy a new phone, what is going to be the best value? With
at least as good a camera.
