Think I've decided on the one plus 13 as my next phone

Had my s22 ultra for 3 years now and it's been f**king fantastic. Easily the best phone I've ever had but the battery is starting to suffer pretty badly

S25 ultra deals are absolutely ridiculously priced so I'm tempted for the 13,one of the reasons is the 6000ah battery which is 1000 more than the Samsungs. 0 to 100% charging in 36 mins apparently too.

Will miss the s pen though, what I thought might be a novelty has been mint and used very often.

The 13 looks like a great phone. I was in Samsung last week and I'm glad I didn't end up with the s24 Ultra. Felt much bigger and did not like the slab sides in my hand. The new battery tech is very impressive.

S pen, I do less social media work now so this is probably the least I've used the s pen.

I love this thing...

Just need Samsung to make an ultra mini next or someone steal the anti-reflection screen tech!

What sort of prices you seen for the s25?
Works portal etc and trade in for my s23 worked out for 25 quid a month for the phone with 80/100 quid deposit (can't recall exact figure but I fettled with it to get to 25 quid monthly)

S-Pen doesn't have Bluetooth functions like previous though which is annoying for camera use
Battery is really impressive though, processor must really help because battery size is same as previous phone but it is much better

About £48 a month!

I'll have a look at mine mate thanks for the suggestion. Although I'd have just the s22 ultra to trade in not 23 so not as much. What deal was yours on through rhc company , Vodafone or something?

To put it into perspective on my s22 now it's 10:16am, charged overnight to 100% and I'm on 66%. And I'm at work! 😂

I did mine direct through Samsung mate and then sim only with Talk mobile for 7.50 a month. Others on here use talk mobile or some have gone with that Lebara network which is similar pricing.

So all in mine is £25 for phone and £7.50 for sim. £32.50 (good at maths ay I).

Whereas when I had gone from my s21u to s23U It was 100 down and £31 a month for phone. So it was a good deal this time round, granted you won't be trading in a s23 it'll be a 22, but might just have to chuck a bit more upfront cash in

Little eBay bargain. I have a bit of a blackberry collection going but wanted a cheap but good Bold 9900 for ages. Finally found one! Incredible feel in the hand!

I'm with EE, I pay £65/month for an S23 Ultra and Discovery plus etc. If I opt for an S25 it goes to £90?!?! My business pays my contracts but £90+ is crazy

Insane prices!
Even when I had my Vodafone sim it was £25 for phone and 18 for the sim. Think there was better Vodafone sim deals to be had too but wanted sub 10 quid ideally

Bought my s23 ultra pay £7.90 a month
15g data unlimited minutes and texts 100 international minutes.

Mrs pays £4.90 a month on lebara too same minutes and texts as me but 5gb of data.

Mine Was £1 a month for the first 6 months hers was £2.50 for first 6 months 😂

1 month rolling contract off comparison site.

With Lebara On Vodafone coverage is great can't fault it tbh mostly 5g.

Some of these people must be utter mental paying these prices month 🙄

Whoever sorts your company phone contracts must be on a massive back hander 😂

It's me as its my own company!!
£65 including the phone and Discovery plus is decent.

But £95 for the exact same thing is bonkers.

Decent phone is £1000 divide that by 24months is £40/pcm without a contract and without discovery sport.

So it's not great but it isn't that bad when you break it down.

Agreed and top end phones are well over 1000 these days
