  It comes with a Micro-A USB cable for convenience.

  I've never seen such a thing except in obscure technical documents. It would be extremely inconvenient.
  You probably mean a micro-B.

    Can probably blame officeworks for that part of the description, though they also say it's running Android 9, not 10 but reading elsewhere it can be upgraded?

    Lack of NFC is a pass for me either way.

      I have one of these and it is running Android 10 via an update a while back.

      Yes, the description was from officeworks. When you get the phone from officeworks, it is Android 10 preinstalled.

    You probably mean a micro-B.

    You are correct, the phone's user guide states "Your phone supports the USB micro-B cable."

    Got the user guide from here: https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_us/support/nokia-2-3-user-gu…

  Does this model have a 'simple mode' with big icons and less clutter for old people etc?

    It's actually an app that shows all the icons and text, it's called a "launcher". If you search the play store, there are quite a few alternative launchers available, some specifically designed for seniors, and others that can be configured for large icons and large text.

    I don't have any experience with them though, the above is the limit of my knowledge. Here's an article about changing icon size, using different launchers:

      Pretty sure the link below shows what Mechz was thinking of.

      I'm fully aware of launchers etc but the problem is that they often get overridden by the system or it pops up with a "what app would you like to use this action with" which can be confusing for oldies. Baked in is much more preferred.

        I'm still looking for a phone, I want one with a smaller display so I can use it with one hand (I like to web browse while eating my lunch). While looking, I stumbled across this seniors phone, currently $129 at The Good Guys, may be of interest to you:
        https://www.opelmobile.com.au/our-phones/easy-smart-2/

        Has 4G with VoLTE, and supports all Australian mobile phone bands, including B28A and B28B.

  Not that I have seen on mine. They only phone I can think of that I have owned that had that feature was an Huawei Y6 from around 2017. Perhaps their current cheaper phones still have this.

  Not a bad phone. Nice clean Android experience. I have one as a spare and used it for a few weeks when my phone failed and I waited for a new phone.

  I found the the ram the most limiting, with apps often having to reopen entirely rather than being usable instantly.

  Moving up a tier gets you some nice to haves such as usb-c, NFC, finger print reader, more ram. However, if you're budget constrained, worthwhile for the price.

  The Officeworks price is in USD?
