Always loved Samsung, previous was and still is my trusted s8, just got me a Huawei mate 10 Pro... 6gb ram 128gb storage, the camera is so much better than the s8 and a slightly bigger screen for my old eyes

What's your choice and why?

Evening everyone

I have the s8. It got caught in a door as it slammed shut. It's in a pretty sad state but still working.

I need a new phone and have always upgraded with a contract, now I'm sim only.

Glad your happy with your new phone

I've always had Samsung but am now looking for a cheaper alternative. I'll have look at Huawei.

I'm sure there was something on the news about these not to long ago.

I've got the p30 and I really like it. Yeah just paranoia about the Chinese using it to spy. As if we're not already being spied on anyway

I've always been on contract and had both the iPhone and Samsung in the past.

Now moving to Sim only as I would rather spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

My current Samsung has a smashed screen though so have just ordered a Google Pixel 2. Mr has one and it is a great phone with great battery life, a brilliant camera and good storage. He has had is almost 2 years without one single priblem.

I have always used them for mine. When I first got the s8 I couldn't get them for the phone. Even the phone shop couldn't fit one properly! So I never had one, hence my phones in a right state

They were in the doldrums for a long time but have really bounced back with the last few models. I hadn't had a Nokia since the bricks I had in the early 00s

The money is still to pay out though, for a 20% tax saving. But hey it's only money, you can't take it with you

4 years, that's been a great buy. I'm too clumsy with my phones.

I have always had an android, always Samsung.

I really want a cheaper alternative.

Oh gosh I'm not techy in the slightest but they are pretty good phones.

I bought my Samsung A150 for £185 sim free using a promo on Ebay around black Friday. It does what it is supposed to. But have to admit, I prefer Huawei. I only switched due to a personal boycott for political reasons. Xiaomi are a smaller Chinese brand but can offer even more savings on highly specced handsets if you are prepared to go this route. Pretty much flagship performance for 70% cost.

Always IPhone for me, I got the 11 pro max, wide screen and I used to the software...

And yes it’s a bit expensive, but not much more than more phones about in the market

Some amazing choices here, I'm well pleased with this, I've always got my music on in my ears the battery life is amazing compared to the s8 but I'll keep it as a back up even with its slightly cracked screen, last iPhone I had was a 3gs lol, the s20 looks so good but the price is way out my league
