The New Phone Thread

Gally said:


Been playing with this a few times in the last week, it really is an amazing device, I don't know if it's enough to stop me but what I can say, if it had a telephoto... I would already have it. So much more useful than the fold. My mate had the fold 7 last year and got this this year, he says it's been so much more useful! Very impressed, it's the same thickness as my s24 ultra pretty much!

Looks amazing, just a big shame about the missing camera

I still don’t get the hype for foldables. To me they are just expensive and extremely fragile gimmicks.

I can see the benefits for people flicking between their phones and tablets... but I've never had a tablet, so they don't really appeal to me. I guess I watch TV on my phone on lunch breaks at work so it would be nice then, but that's about it really? Every thing else Instagram & Twitter etc. is made for vertical scrolling aren't they.
 
What's the cheapest/best deals people are seeing for the new pixel?

I'm still on my the pixel 7 and fancy a change

Getting a Galaxy S25U to replace my S23U this week, be interested to see how big a difference it will be.

@imprezaworks I was going to list the S23U on avforums and tag you but couldn't find you, left the forums there?

I got myself banned on purpose. The mods on there are unbelievably (swear word)

They banned me for a month for not complying with a sales thread, long story but anyway.

Is it the one I sold you?
 
Whats made me laugh is how they mention within a few sentences how "because it is an iPhone, it will retain its value more than an android"

Pathetic marketing
 
I'm still on an iPhone 11 that I bought in China (genuine item...the phone not the country). Apart from the battery being at 71% health it's still doing everything I want it to. I'm not taking out a bank loan for a new phone.

I still don't really get the folding phone thing overall. Even Apple themselves say they are aiming for just 5% of their iPhone sales to be the Duo. And folding phones only represent 2% of the Android market. In an IT department that I work in of 25 various infrastructure and dev roles - only one person has a folding phone. That eventually broke (the screen) and Samsung repaired it under warranty.

To me, they feel like the BMW X6 of the phone world - in that they really don't know what they are. Too big and chunky as a phone, too small as a proper useful tablet and exist in weird limbo where they are trying to tick several boxes all at once.

I caved in today an preordered an 18 Pro Max, having got £320 trade in for my 15 Pro with the usual 0% finance. I didn't even look at the Duo.
 
Having had a flip rather than a fold I really liked it and could see myself having a fold In the smaller passport form factor.

It could probably be convenient for travelling so you can just watch media on a bigger screen, but for most people it’ll be a waste of money. Having that in my work trousers everyday would be a nightmare and it’d get dirt in the creases and gaps too easily for me. Do not want
 
Have been trying to order an iPhone 18 Pro on and off for over 9 hours today... no luck. Every time I try it's a new error! Given up now, I guess I'll try again tomorrow 🤷‍♂️

Just realised I'm due a new work phone. There the usual free stuff that nobody wants, Samsung A57 etc. I popped onto the portal yesterday to see if it's worth getting a 17 Pro and noticed they've updated it to show the latest iPhones just announced and I can get an 18 Pro for £790, so 30% off...I kept scrolling and I can even order the iPhone Duo for £1400.

Which is a proper bargain but I'm still not going to spend £1400 on a phone :ROFLMAO:

I did try again the following day, and worked perfectly first time. Have to wait 2-3 weeks rather than 1, which is annoying, but next time... note to self - wait until day 2 to order!
 
Decided I want to be a nonce and get a Motorola Razr. (Not new, I'm not that noncey).

If anyone has one, they wanna sell...
 
I think I've used my pixel fold, unfolded, less than 20 times since I owned it. Incidentally I ordered it a year ago today.
Even media in it isn't anything special, though I watched the Ashes at work on it. It's just as good in landscape/folded.

Which makes it even harder to refute this now

That camera is an eyesore though lol. I'm going to get an S26 Ultra in the deals.

Also saw this thing which looks insane. Could be tempted but don't think it's as practical. I don't even play games on my phone but it looks cool 😂

Probably the same one that I saw lol. Definitely sounds good not sure how they stand the test of time mind.

S26 Ultra is about £1100 at best still for 500gb one. I'll probably get a contract with a big first payment though as some of those deals are really good and my contract is up anyway. I'll only be paying about £15 more a month than I am now.

Its wasted on me, I dont have any games installed on my phone.
 
I still have my pixel fold 10.
I've finally found a use for unfolding it, so i can stand freely while I chat to her on video call.

I really want to change, but I've damaged this a fair bit and I'm not ready to swallow that monetary loss in 12 months 😂
