The New Phone Thread

[Oggy997]

I use swype, which is why I put completely random words on posts here.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

First thing I do with all Samsung phones is download Google's keyboard from the app store. It's FAR better than the woeful Samsung version

Good tip thank you

 

[Gally]

I also use gboard over Samsung. 👍🏻 Oh and they will also learn words. When I type in kg to my keyboard my email appears.

 

[Oggy997]

None of this ducking instead of f**king, like apple users have to put up with, eh

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Had my S23 Ultra for months now and never thought to download GBoard - downloading as we speak. The Samsung keyboard really does get on my tits!

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Its so bad I turned on the swipe thing and have been using that.

 

[dangerous dave]

I swapped over to Microsoft swift key on day 1.. I think it's built in.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

okay even with extremely limited use, its better than the Samsung one already! Thanks chaps!

God knows what samsung were playing at. some of the autocorrect suggestions were genuienly on crack. GBoard FTW! Cheers @Gally

Honestly it makes some things so much better if you mentally replace duck with f**k

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Gboard just installed and it's like being home again. So much better than the Samsung effort. Cheers again for the tip.

 

[Flat Eric]

Is there a way with Gboatd you can have symbols over the letters that can be used with a long press?

Edit. Just figured it out in settings

Second one down

 

[imprezaworks]

With a budget of say £350 what would you recommend? Needs to be Android with a decent battery and great camera, also 120hz screen.

Half a Samsung?

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Refurb pixel 7?

 

[Gally]

A pixel 7 is a great shout. Easily bought for that price.

Nothing phone 1 for something different also. Few one plus phones also.

 

[imprezaworks]

Know much about the Xiaomi phones?

 

[Darryl_1983]

Paid £299 for my Pixel 7 last month. I don't think you'll find a better Android phone for that money.

My mates selling a pixel 8 for £440, that's in budget if it's for a man.

Cheers. Chap on the avforums has a new one at 325 iirc. But looking at the reviews it’s not filling me with confidence lol.

Interested in the A52s albeit an older phone.

Got the S23 Fe 5G for my partner, but from O2 at £349, and applied for 100 cashback, free buds and 12months disney

Previously she had an Samsung S20 Plus 5G, and she says there is no much difference between them.

I don't see why would you(people with bad reviews) complain for basically a less than 200£ if you sell the buds and consider how much a 12month disney subscription is. Plus you got warranty, not a sold as seen phone from the internet.

 

[imprezaworks]

Have looked at the fe but lots of the reviews say the chip is crappy.

 

[Gally]

It's not and an A52 is not a comparison to an s23 fe! The fe is a trememdnous buy! Even a used s23 is a fantastic buy!

 

[imprezaworks]

A52s?

A52s?

I don't really understand the A series with how good every other mid-budget is. And I use a Samsung. I still wouldn't buy an A series phone.

 

[imprezaworks]

Grabbed a 7a so will see how that pans out👍

 

[Gally]

Good choice.

Galaxy unpacked this week! S24 Ultra now with flat screen. Looking forward to a little difference!

Gamechanger.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Can't understand why anyone went with a curved screen, they are f**king s**t.

 

[Gally]

I don't think they're s**t they were peak design but they have their drawbacks. Edge detection hasn't been an issue in 10 years so it's mainly the s pen that only annoys me at the edge, I don't really see any downsides.

Just interested in the new form factor.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Apart from screen protects not fitting correctly, cases not protecting the edge like on flat screens, accidental touch (still a thing on my S22U)
Literally no point in having the extra 2mm of screen width for a curve IMO.

Peak design doesn't necessarily make it a good thing.

 

[imprezaworks]

I’m selling my iPhone this week so won’t need this, I’ve hardly used it tbh.

Samsung website servers down for the Samsung finance payment option.
Was looking to sort the deal for the Wife.
With her trade in and employee discount it worked out to 691 for the 512gb S24 ultra.
Which is insane. With a free watch 6 which she would sell as well

 

[Oggy997]

£497 for 1tb s24u, free watch 6, case, screen protector & strap if i trade in my s23u
