Get something that’s MagSafe compatible. I’ve got a MagSafe mount/charger in the car, really convenient

I'm coming up for renewal soon.
What are the flagship phoned for android lately?
Can't believe it's nearly been 2 years since my shocking purchase of the s20 ultra.
I may even go iPhone if there's no good deals out there for android.

Credit to 50cents there is a cracking deal on the z flip 3 at the minute
Topcashback should track at either 155 or 200 if you select 24 month contract, but the z flip 3 6gb deal - topcashback referral removed - then you go through tesco mobile
When you buy, it gives you two contracts
One for the handset, one for rolling 1m contract
Keep paying the contract until the topcashback is payable If you sign up 40 month contract, then by the time topcashback comes through you'll be neutral / slightly up on total outgoings...
Then the sweet spot, there is +250 cashback plus the value of the trade in plus but there are only certain handsets allowed....
Then there is a free watch galaxy watch 4 as well... which you can flog...
By this time you'll be 250 up from the trade in at least, say 150 for watch if you sell, so you'll have paid 4 x30 off of phone already so you could be in a position where the phone only costs you 160-200
Details of trade in here (click t&Cs at bottom to see which devices you can trade in)

@ForceIndia what mount are you using?
I’m looking for a MagSafe vent mount but I’m worried my phone will come flying off if getting a bit spirited. Not fussed if it charges or not really.

I’ll get a photo tomorrow, last week I fitted a Scosche magnet mount to the lower dash (wherever you prefer), leave 24 hours before using to ensure it doesn’t come unstuck.Olixar iPhone 12 MagSafe Compatible Charging Car Holder

I then stuck the included magnet to the back of an Apple MagSafe charger and purchased a 20w+ Usbc car charger.
I’ve drove 600 miles since and my iPhone 13 pro with the Apple MagSafe silicone case didn’t move once. This method will only work if you use the phone without a case or with a MagSafe case.

Thanks chaps, I actually use one like Davo linked now and its great but I figured I should make use of MagSafe 😄
Will be used with a 13 pro with a apple silicone case so they are quite grippy. It's nice to know the magnets are decent after reading some stories of phones falling off constantly.

Well everything’s been great with the Flip 3, until now! Got a warning on my phone last night saying my phone will be locked in 24 hours as it is linked to an incomplete trade in order, my trade in was sent days ago, and I have an email from them confirming receipt. Samsung customer service can’t or won’t do anything except give me an email address to contact, and they still haven’t replied since last night so I’m guessing my phone is getting bricked tonight, along with 100s of others from what I’m seeing on the boards etc. Even people who bought devices outright with no trade in are being affected by this.
Mildly impressed with Samsung, originally quoted 5-6 weeks delivery for my S21 Ultra in Phantom Titanium... After 22 days received DPD confirmation last night, device arriving tomorrow!

Me and the wife ordered pixel 6 pro's yesterday. She's coming from a Pixel 5 and I've got a OnePlus Nord. Both fairly happy with our current phones, but have been waiting for the Pixel to be released for a good few months. My wife actually bought a S21 Ultra direct from Samsung a while ago and sent it back as the camera was a downgrade on her old Pixel 5. So hoping the New Pixel will be a good upgrade over the Pixel 5 in that regard. It'll definitely be a massive step up from my Nord.
I can't see either of us not being happy with the other aspects of the phone to be honest, as it should be better in every way. Plus we both wanted the bigger screen.
I think we'll sell the Bose headphones on eBay to recoup some of the cost. I've still got the Bose headphones that came with my Wife's Pixel 5 and they're great to be honest.
The standard pixel 6 at £600 is a bargain considering you still get the Bose headphones with a RRP £350, even if you only got £200, it makes it £400 total.

I'll be ordering the Pixel 6 this week. It's a proper bargain...same chip and 95% of the internals of the Pro model, just 90hz screen instead of the Pro's 120hx, slightly smaller screen, smaller battery, no 4x telephoto lens, and no 4k capable selfie camera. And that's before the Bose 700 headphone incentive!

Need to order before the 27th to get the headphone deal I believe, so don't leave it too long.
If the Pro wasn't a larger screen, I'd have just ordered the standard Pixel to be honest, but I watch a lot of videos on it, so wanted the larger screen for that mainly.

Handset prices are getting out of control. I imagine it won’t be long til we’re at the 2.5k mark.

Initial reviews of the Pixel 6/6 Pro looking good. Haven't ordered yet, will likely get in tomorrow on the last day of the Bose 700 offer.
But my Pixel 4A is still doing the job I need it to. But if I don't I'll miss out on the free Bose 700s. That I don't actually need. Argh.
And FLOL at phones North of £1.5k when the 6 Pro is only £850!

It does but so did the last one and it didn't get the best reviews did it?
This with the 1inch sensor should be incredible though.

Makes my Xperia 1 III look like a bargain 😂

Did you buy in the end? I went pixel 6 pro, I am so far quite impressed with it.

How does the battery stack up in the real world? Seen it tested quite poorly compared to other phones but I’m a bit weary of those tests.
