S7C Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 So I took the plunge and got a Huawei Mate 20 Pro on contract. Pricey but thinking I might just sell my camera and switch to a phone only for photos, which should soften the blow a bit. Can sell my old phone as well. Quite excited to get it tomorrow as the reviews it's received have been pretty phenomenal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see me going back to flagships, unless I come into some money. Quite happy with the Chinese ones I've had. They do the job well enough at a fraction of the price. Just a matter of doing some research and choosing wisely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishyman Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Got this bad boy for 70 sheets. I don't need an all singing dancing one. Leagoo it's callled, think they sponsor spurs. For the same coin you'd get a second hand ten year old phone out any local shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Asked for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro for Christmas after smashing my Note 4 a few months ago and refusing to replace it. What a difference, so nice and phone is so sharp with a great screen (my old screen was a replacement, so dull in comparison to the original!). I can already see the prices for the new Xiaomi branch in the UK are higher than gearbest, so no surprises there. But glad I bought this before they really kicked in, hopefully they continue to sell the global versions elsewhere for cheaper. Camera is much better and for £150, it really is an absolute steal and tbh I'm starting to realise why the apple c*nts that I've slagged for years could sort of fall in love with a tech brand as I absolutely love Xiaomi's products. Initially had the fear about buying this as it wasn't getting great reviews, but I think that was more in comparison to the Note 5 Pro where there isn't that much of a difference so my step up from the Note 4, including the increase in storage and memory, I definitely saw a huge difference. Would recommend! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would recommend! Just got this phone yesterday after an upgrade from Maya Max. Very good so far.I didn't go through Gearbest on this occasion as was able to get a good deal from Amazon (Gearbest would have been £20 or so cheaper but have taken longer to come). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great phone - the only things folk might complain about is no NFC (but I have a phone case that has my card in it anyway, so no worries for me), the charger not being type C (again, I don't know why people get their knickers in a twist about this so much?) and no face unlock (but I've never had a phone with that and the finger print works like a dream). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB C not to do with fast charging? Which a must. Wife has the note 4, loves it, but tiny battery and no fast cherge. For your info, Xaomi have shelved the Redmi into a separate brand, to make it more palatable for Angleeesh. Tempted but I'm gonna go with umi F1, $199 for the next week on presale, specs are great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Anyone got the pocophone f1? I'm tempted by it but the only thing putting me off is the size. I've rarely seen a bad review but I don't really see the need for a phone over 6". My current one is 5" which is manageable with one hand and suits me fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the latest trend with large screen smartphones, having the large notch that eats into your notification bar. Seemingly it's to house all the sensors but I've heard of it causing problems with certain apps and games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why they're not for everyone though. Edited January 12, 2019 by YER SISTERS YER MAW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
