The New Phone Thread

[leeds2592]

Guys that have the Huawei, do you have the P20 or P20 Pro?

Is the Pro worth the extra couple of quid a month?

 

[imprezaworks]

P20 Pro. Not looked into the actual differences. Assume the pro is better?

Better screen, battery, camera etc. Tbh, I'd be paying the same price for the Pro as I do currently for my smashed up, knackered S7! The P20 would be even cheaper than what I pay now.

Think I need to go have a nosey in person at them and see whether the Pro is a bit too big or not. Either would be a massive upgrade to what I've got now.

 

[imprezaworks]

What's the cost difference?

I found the phone big to begin with going from an iPhone 7. But wouldn't go back to a smaller screen now.

Battery life and the charge time is spot on. And every one knows how good the camera is

For what I need data wise, the difference between the two is about £10 a month. Doesn't seem a lot but it all adds up.

I'll go and have a nosey at them both this week and see what I think.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I was like that with my deals.

The iPhone 8 was 43 a month and the pro 33. Coming from the 7 the 'upgrade' would be the 10, xr, r/st or whatever it is. But the contracts I couldn't warrant.

I'm happy with the pro until 2020 lols

What sort of prices are floating around for a 64GB iphone XS?

Vodafone offering £66pm and £49 upfront.

 

[Steve]

Just got my daughter 10 R 30gb, 24 months, £48

 

[rik220]

The missus upgraded from the iPhone X to the XS max. So I paid the £400 they were looking to keep the X instead of handing it back. This is my second time with an iPhone X. I got it when it came out and returned it after 3 days because it just was not worth £1000. The Face ID was and is a bit of a gimmick, however I must say it has improved since release and is definitely more accurate and quicker but in some situations requires more input and time than Touch ID. I can live with it now that it is a £400 phone to me, not £1000.

Annoyingly it is going to apple this weekend because the top speaker/earpiece is distorting very badly during phone calls and playing music.

I still have an Android itch needing scratching though.

What on earth is it? Any warranty claims would be difficult if not impossible.

I know, this is why I'm not buying off ebay at the moment.

doesn't appear to be any uk sellers, I do have a number of friends in the US who could obtain me a one.

 

[Coby.]

Is it on Eglobal Central?

Bought a phone off them 1 year ago with no issues?

I just ordered the OP6T in Thunder Purple. It looks so sexy.

ZTE were suspected of being a risk to UK national security or something earlier this year. Probably explains the lack of UK sellers lol

Lol

Price was really good for what you get, £300 including import tax

Great choice. The cameras have caught up a lot. The only thing that let them down.

 

[Oggy997]

I had the OPO, OP3 (for a day) and the 3T.

Wasn't going to get the 6t, but the colour is beautiful.

I bought 2 iPhone XR 128GB phones from the apple store in Cambridge.
(One for the mrs and one for me)
It was £69 deposit per hand set and then £36.5 per month per handset for 20 months. Total = £799 per phone.
Interest free agreement.
Think this is the cheapest way to purchase an iPhone if you want to pay over a period of time.
We have sim only via Vodafone at circa £9 per month.
Really pleased with the phones, much better that my iPhone 7 and like the bigger screen size.

 

[Stay Puft]

Is that on the trade back deal though?

 

[Ex-User (36231)]

Samsung galaxy S9 £38pm with 25gb data - any good?

 

[imprezaworks]

Seems it.

 

[ACB]

Hi Davy,
No it’s not. You have to go into a official Apple store and ask for the 20 months interest free via Barclays and they just process it. I’m just paying the £799 per phone over 20 months interest free.
There is no obligation to go into the upgrade plan which is way more expensive.

Best phone on the market imo

 

[imprezaworks]

P20 Pro is where it's at.

Lol.

What colours? Was disappointed to see my mate got his in white!

 

[beatjunkie]

Lol.

How you getting on with it? I’ve had iPhones since 3GS but stopped at a 6s and now either want a P20 Pro or iPhone XS but i don’t want to pay the silly money!

Also have an Apple Watch so will need to bin that too!

 

[imprezaworks]

I was very on the fence about changing but very happy I did. Don't get me wrong I really liked the iPhone 7 partly as it never let me down in two years and is very easy to use.

Getting used to this phone was way easier than I expected.

Looking at a new phone for the daughter for Xmas, Argos/carphonewarehouse etc have the P20 lite and Honor 8x both at the same price, £230 each, looking at pics/specs of them the Honor looks the better phone, anyone have an opinion either way?
