However, we know that festivals can get messy, and phones don’t like mess. Which is why you need a smartphone for the job (and a few other bits and pieces besides). Here, we pick some of the best festival phones, and a few other accessories you shouldn’t be without.
Top budget phones
There are plenty of great budget phones, just perfect for a festival. The two we’ve picked are the Nokia 1 and the Moto C.
Simply put, the Nokia 1 is just a good, solid phone. There’s a big-enough 4.5-inch screen, a couple of decent cameras and 8GB of internal storages – though this can be added to. It’s good value without looking cheap, and runs Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), optimised so you can use apps faster, without annoying lags.
We’ve also plumped for a Moto C. It’s affordable, has a nice bright 5-inch screen and with 16GB of storage, that’s enough to get all the pics and vids you need.
Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
When the music’s done, it’s all back to your tent for the party to continue. This JVC Bluetooth speaker not only sounds good, but it’s water-resistant, too.
Powerbank
Don’t let your phone run out of juice. This GOJI powerbank is easy to transport, sleek and lightweight and gives you 6,000mAh of charge – that’s about two days’ worth.
Selfie Stick
For cracking team selfies and for getting a shot of the stage when there’s loads of people around you, a selfie stick is just what you need. Try this one.
That’s it – now you have everything you need! Enjoy the music!
