Which mobile phone ?

It's seems to me mobile phone question night in the lounge this evening so I thought I'd add another one

Now don't judge me but I've had iPhones for a few years now and I'm currently using a 5S that is well out of contract now and was thinking about changing it

I like iPhones and they have always served me very well but it's just the cost of the bloody things that is putting me off getting another one

So my question is can anyone recommend a decent but not that expensive phone that is not a iPhone?

I'm with EE paying monthly at the moment so was also thinking of maybe getting it unlocked and making it pay as you go and cutting the cost of my monthly spend and just keep the phone

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I've got a windows phone.

But I need it to work.

I have my Dropbox integrated with it as I need to be able to access documents on the fly.

Swear by Samsungs personally - all depends what you want from it in terms of both the phone itself and minutes/texts/data...I currently have a Samsung A3 with 500 of each that costs me £17/month on EE and more than suits my needs. Phone has a decent enough camera and memory and unlike others I've had in the past the battery is still going strong even close to the end of the 2 year contract.

I highly recommend the S7 Edge, cracking bit of kit.

I have a old nokia with EE and pay as you go and keeping the phone, no plan but I still find the calls expensive and texts but can use it at my leisure the cheapest way with a mobile and of course £10 credit for free texts over weekend but I hardly use it for all that anyway..

Definitely the Galaxy S6/S7 range

Far better than the best iPhone! iPhone to me is now a gimmick, £700 for a phone that isn't a match on some others

Plus, Android has the market share now, more apps etc

I have an LGG5 they a relatively cheap so you can get a really good contract deal but when compared with my brothers galaxy S7 and mrs Iphone 6s it blows them both out of the water its crisper quicker and many more functions i couldnt be happier

Sony xperia zx is going to be the best phone on the market when released on the 7the. Best front and rear camera, best integrated software, best design. Overall better than anything else on the market now and for the rest of the year at least. Will be £36.99ish on ee with a free set of sony Bluetooth earphones as a gift.

Best deal is SIM only, and buy your own phone.

I'm with Virgin, who piggy back on EE. 2500 mins + 2500 mins to 08 numbers, unlimited texts, 2GB data for £10.

Still have my z3 compact, battery lasts for 4+ days, waterproof, 128gb memory and it's 4 or 5 years old. The new Sony looks excellent though.

Best bang for your buck phone out there at the moment is the OnePlus 3. If that's too big have a look at the Xiaomi Mi 5.

Any half-decent specification non-Samsung Android phone.

Or a Samsung if you are feeling flush and/or complain about feeling cold constantly.

I have a HUAWEI on EE payg. It cost £10.

When the woman tried to sell me the insurance for it for £15, I just gave her the raised eyebrow look...

"I went sim only when ma last contact was up, went and bought a Galaxy S4 for £100, it does more than I need it to, as I generally use ma pc, but it has a good camera "

I'd be a bit wary with the s4. I had one for 2 years, got simple only contract as I lover that phone. 6 weeks into the new contract, phone died. S4 was poorly built. S5 is more reliable n so even better. Samsung learnt a lesson with the s4.

Luckily I used my old phone, HTC wildfire which I had from new. Managed to keep it till Xmas before apps were unusable (ancient android version). Ended up buying a Xperia M4 for £150 brand new. Memory isn't great as Google stopped the ability to transfer apps to memory card, but apart from that, the phone is great. Had it almost a year. May get a newer version next year or go back to Samsung. Really wouldn't bother with an iPhone. They are years behind android...
