The New Phone Thread

[Andy_con]

@andy con If you go for that EE deal go through topcashback for £93 cashback

I just want the phone on its own, no contract

Not surprised seeing as it's coming out at £2,906 on contract, the phone's meant to be £1,900 so that's around a grand for the contract, robbing b******s

 

[Rich..]

Some Selfridges and Harrods will be selling them too.

I meant on contract

There's one on eBay already, for £2,595 🤡

Just imagine the letterboxes you’ll get watching a video on the square screen

Samsung S10 - £50 upfront £35 a month 24 months - 45GB unlimited unlimited with free Samsung watch active on O2

Anyone know to any better deals than this? Would prefer to stay with O2 as I know coverage is good for me.

I got one for £35pm, £29 upfront, £65 cashback through quidco and a Galaxy Watch Active on the way. That's with 100GB, unlimited unlimited with Three.

My Mrs used to have a phone on 3 and it was terrible for having no signal, I've stuck with o2 for years as I've never had a problem with them.

I've always been with EE for the same reason but couldn't find a good enough deal with them so trying 3. Seems fine where I live so far. Both great deals though after cashback and the free watch.

I walked past the apple store today in meadowhall for the launch of the new iPhone.

There were lots and lots of staff and even security on the door but no customers?

He's one of the most popular tech you tubers. It's not pointless as such. It's a durability test. A genuine one really. All phones are subjected to the same. He's trying to find the flaws to help you the consumer.

People are looking at the Fold too, straight. 2k this, availability etc. This is essentially a prototype you can buy. The first ever genuine folding phone.

This is as exciting as tech gets phone wise just now. It's next gen but now! It's not for the customer on the street hence the 2k price tag!

 

[Gally]

Enjoying my Note 10+ 5G. Picture quality is insane and done some side by side tests with a pixel 3 XL. Was very interesting!

5g speeds and that battery life. Well over 30 hours including over 7 screen on time.

 

[Gally]

A little selection.

 

[Gally]

Some night mode shots. Straight off the camera and quickly snapped. Now the areas that these images were taken in were proper dark, they kept lighting to a minimum for wildlife etc.

 

[Gally]

Apologies on the spam! And the compressed quality! 😂

Although I hear what your saying I'm not sure many people treat their phone like that.

It's not a real life test, it's a seek hits on YouTube test. And it clearly works for him

Missing the point somewhat. It's a test that's carried out on a lot of phones, so allows comparison. And by going to extremes, gives people an idea of the worst they can expect.

Kinda what I was trying to say, all phones have the same test. Sitting it in your pocket for 6 weeks won't make much of a review.

Anybody used Buymobiles.net for new phone + contract? For £100 up front and £49 per month (Or £31.50 p/m If I trade my iPhone in) I can a new Note 10 (Non-plus). Thats for 60GB data on O2.

I go to the O2 website and for £400 up front and £50.38 per month I'd get 40Gb of data. How can there be such a difference?

Both 2 year deals.

I've gone on to Sim only for the time being now my contract is up. Not sure what I'll get next, possibly the Pixel4 XL, I'll see what it's like in the flesh.
The 2xl is still going strong though tbh.

As were doing screenshots, super minimal. Only thing that changes is the wallpaper now and then.

 

[Rich..]

I don’t like change so I’m happy they haven’t changed much from my S8, the colour of the calculator icon did upset me a bit though.

 

[Andy_con]

i need a dual screen phone in my life, this is for business reasons.

im debating about this, but its cheaper than I expected. seller has good feedback, but its a lot to drop on a phone off ebay

[N0ddie]

So after some more research on the Pixel leaks I decided to pull the pin and ordered a Note 10 through Buymobiles.com. It's amasing to think I ordered at 1813 and it was dispatched at 2023 for tomorrow delivery.

You didn't fancy waiting another 6 days to see what Google show?

 

[N0ddie]

The more I researched into it the less impressed with it (Basing everything on the thorough leaks). I couldn't get over the bezels primarily. It was not a bonny looking handset by any stretch.

Just got a P30 Pro so my P20 mate pro is for sale if anyone fancies it.

How are you getting on without the play store or are you using the workaround to install it? Or was it a later model that was restricted?

He's got the P30 Pro


The Mate 30 Pro is the one which has just been released and has the lack of Google apps etc

Ah ok. I knew it was a 30 pro, couldn't remember which one.
I'd read about work around and then I'd read that they had been taken out. Sure there will be another way to get around the issues soon enough, or the US will stop the restrictions as part of the trade deal with China.

Loving the Note 10 already. Tis the perfect size phone.
