Default NHS app and vaccination passport.

Heard on the news they're likely to use the NHS track and trace app as a
vaccine 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.

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.

Don't rule out buying a refurbished phone. I've just bought one for
the wife (she wanted the same one as mine, now an old model and only a
few new ones still around for £200+) for £75 and am well pleased. Not
a mark on it, battery holding charge well. Sold by 'thetechout' on
eBay. Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017)
