"I'm doing some work research I am interested has anyone bought a premium phone? How much do you usually spend? Or is that just a massive rip off and your Nokia 3310 still gets the job done" Good question and I’ll be interested in the answer as I always go for a cheepo phone | |||

"Honestly they are dude. You can find a phone that outperform those flagships and it is half price. " you can .. if your willing to go Chinese.. I got a galaxy s10 on my contract upgrade when it first came out ... great phone... but before that I was looking and the chinese brands offer some great phones that look identical... same processor same camera. They have a lot of internals the same .. maybe the older android not the latest ..( but does that matter) .. if I was buying outright rather than contract id get a Chinese phone. | |||

Even the highest phone are made in china do don't know what you meant by going Chinese " I was looking at the ellephone u 2 or u pro they basically take the top phones and make a knock off copy. Using slot of the same parts as your not buying the apple or Samsung brand | |||

"I bought a new unlocked Cubot handset from Amazon. Pretty much the exact same specs as the new Samsung, but £90 including delivery. I have a £10 a month package deal with EE with more rollover data than I can ever use. I'd never go back to a contract again, or spend more than £100 on a phone." exactly what i said | |||

" really why not just use a tablet for anything else, technology for me is a very short lived thing so to spend a £1000 on a phone that the technology is simply overtaken in a few months time....... is it worth it | |||

"I replaced the samsung note I smashed into my ipad pro With an s10e and ipad mini I get the best of android and ios. They are both portable. I can actually use the s10e as a phone The ipad mini is small enough to fit in a pocket. Both of them cost £700 together. " Actually notes are classed as "phablets" - a phone and tablet in one. Paying a couple hundred extra for the convenience of only carrying one device plus the functionality of the built in S Pen is well worth it in my opinion. | |||

"Xiaomi MIa3 is well worth a look at. I always preferred Samsung but I'm very hard on phones and always end up dropping them ,even with a protective case on,and the screen gets smashed. I spent a fortune over the years on flagship phones and a friend suggested looking at Xiaomi so I bought this one, €176 delivered and I'm on a €10pm SIM only plan. The spec on the phone is perfect for what I need it for. It does exactly the same as a Samsung for a fraction of the price. Just my tuppence worth! " I have the same handset, very simillair to Samsung, I got a 128GB version for £150 not had any problems with it | |||

Despite being constantly on the phone. Great value imo. | |||

"Is an expensive phone worth the money? It depends on what you use it for. My work phone is an iPhone 11. It is my office in my pocket. I use it for emails, access to company docs, calls etc. Yes, I could have used a cheaper phone but it wouldn’t have had the same processing power. I can do 90% of the things that I would normally use a pc for. If I only needed to make calls and send text messages, the old Nokia 3310 was fine and had a far better battery life " Yes, also got the 11 pro, I can take photos within seconds that rival those of a DSLR. The main problem I have with my phone vs my DSLR is the fact lenses are so expensive, so I use third party lenses that don’t work with the cameras automatic settings, having to use manual takes time. My phone eliminates that problem now. I can take much better photos with my camera, but it’s the speed and quality that the phone can produce. | |||

"I used to get the galaxy flagships. They were great phones and most importantly to me, great cameras. I then didn't want to spending £40 a month on a phone so went SIM only and started buying phones outright. Got an honor and for the most part it was great, just something I didn't like a out the camera, wasn't as good as the galaxy. So I then switched to the pixel 3a, the cheaper pixel but still had the same flagship camera, and can't fault it. " I wanted to buy a pixel for so long but Google manages to fuck them up every year somehow, fingers crossed for 4a. | |||

" I doubt it, they fucked up pixel 4 by having a tiny battery and still big bezels. Even they know the phone isn't worth its release price because it has been on sale 3 months after it came out. | |||
