The New Phone Thread

If anyone is thinking of selling their 23/24 ultra drop me a message please 👍

472 is the trade in price for the wife's S24 Ultra with Samsung. 😬

They always are strong trade in offers which is always the incentive to chop in against a new one.
With the vouchers they chuck at you as well, a 512gb S26 Ultra works out at 565 quid! Which spread over 2 years is really good!

I see lots of new phones are coming out.

Honor v6 fold looks impressive, ip69
Samsung with its privacy glass

Mid year ill be in the market for a new phone, my fold 5 will be just over 2 years old

I was coming in at about £1200 or so? Then again, I only half arsed looked last night

Ive got an S23 Ultra which, tbh, I dont really need to upgrade but I have noticed the battery performance starting to drop off.

Other than the usual AI shite I probably wont use, is there much else actually going for the upgrade between all the marketing nonsense?

Just had a look expecting the battery to be bigger but it's the same

So, having looked through again, its disappointing. Im sure its a great phone, but the difference between what I have now and the S26 just dont seem to be brilliant.

Faster Processor, Better battery life (albeit size remains), better camera and........well. AI s**t?

The ONLY AI feature id ever want is call screening (I get a lot of work/spam calls). But, seeing as thats just software, there is hope that gets rolled out to the other Galaxy devices.

I cant see why id spend nearly £600 on a new device for very little benefit.
