Depends on what you want out of your phone.

I don’t want a big phone, something that responds quickly by touch, price doesn’t bother me, so please tell. I would have went the Huewei but they don’t do GMS so still undecided

Had to buy new phone recently and decided to purchase a One Plus.

Went with the new Nord version.

12 GB RAM + 256 GB Storage cost me €509

DHL delivered it in 48hrs and have to say it's working great plus it's super super fast. I'd never return to having a phone contract for 2 yrs.

You can also get an 8GB RAM/128GB storage for €409. Check it out online.

Hope this helps

Use Gsmarea and the phone finder and input what you want for a phone. That shiuld give you some help.

Ps the Nord will only get one big android version update so might put someone off.

"I don’t want a big phone, something that responds quickly by touch, price doesn’t bother me, so please tell. I would have went the Huewei but they don’t do GMS so still undecided "

Huawei P30 Pro while a year old, has received Android 10 updates and has full GMS support, 7nm CPU, decent camera, good battery life and fast charging, in general beats a lot of other phones in the same price range and category.

If the price is not an issue, go for the "best", Samsung S20 Ultra or Note 20 Ultra, if possible go for the Qualcomm CPU variant.

The rest are just trying to catch up with the likes of Samsung and Huawei, but some lack the quality control or don't offer the best HW or best features combination.

I've had a oneplus 7 pro now for over a year and it hasn't slowed down at all. Used to always go with Samsung but will not be going back

Personally my top phone at the moment is the Xiaomi Mi 9T or the POCO F2 pro.

They're both very good spec wise and Xiaomi's are excellent on battery life.

The only way I could recommend a new iPhone is if you were going for something compact, in which case the iPhone 12 mini would be the way to go

Yep, I work the shit out of it, and the battery will last the full day, no sweat.

Beast of a battery, and a nice weighty feel to it.

Well chuffed with the note.

If you don't want a big phone then the Google pixel 4a but if you want decent spec for little money look at the Poco x3 nfc.

If money not an issue than the OnePlus 8T.

Lots of great mid range value from realme 6 and xiaomi. Gaming phones from redmagic and asus also have huge specs and batteries .

If you look up mrwhosetheboss on YouTube he does a review of all if the phones of the year.

Even the mid range android offers are really good now. The Poco above is about 250 euro so there is value out there if you do a bit if research.
