PrimaryTech Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 I'm getting an Honor 8x at the end of the month, camera reviews seem to be positive and it comes with 64gb on board space with a micro SD slot should you need it. It's £229 and if you buy it at ao.com you can have it interest free for 6 months, about £39 a month.

Looks good...but huuuggge - I've only got average sized hands (at best) not sure I'd be able to reach across a screen that size with my right thumb!
CBea Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 I also have a Moto G6 plus and find it a descent phone with a camera that's near enough to the Nexus 6p. I bought it from eglobal central for under £230 inc delivery back in August. I think it's worth it for the money.
LeMarchand Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Looks good...but huuuggge - I've only got average sized hands (at best) not sure I'd be able to reach across a screen that size with my right thumb! Small hands, plays golf... how are you with umbrellas?

chazzy2501 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Pocophone F1 This is a flagship phone for $300 (hardware wise anyway) Never seen one IRL but the reviews are solid.

kennysarmy Posted November 6, 2018 Author Posted November 6, 2018 I'm wondering is going from 16Gb storage to 32Gb storage going to be enough? How much extra data is consumed by the upgrade phone and the higher spec? Should I bite the bullet and go for 64Gb and thus future proof it a bit more OR will 32Gb give me enough usable space for my apps?
atcoates Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Every Android phone has unlimited photo Google Photos storage... Also, they downrez the photo's, so not great for keen photographers. Yes sorry it's just the Google Pixel phones that retain the original resolution isn't it?
chazzy2501 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 here's a link, beastly specs and meh build quality or £266 https://www.tobydeals.co.uk/en_GB/product/xiaomi-pocophone-f1-6gb-64gb-dual-sim-sim-free-unlocked-black-1.html
MkII Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) £231 at Ailiexpress for the Poco F1 Has been as low as £213.60 Both the 6Gb/64Gb version The camera is the F1s weak point tho IIRC. (although isn't it the same as in the Mi Mix 2S and Mi 8?) Edited November 6, 2018 by MkII
denzal2k4 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Huawei P10 Plus is pretty good, would be looking at second hand now but would be sub £300 128GB storage, good camera.

jmak Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 balls, i missed that one. at least I still have Google, OneDrive and degooI ran Pixel experience ROM https://download.pixelexperience.org on my OnePlus 2 for a while and Google kept telling me that as a Pixel owner I had unlimited full res photo storage [emoji16]
MkII Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Poco F1 now 245.83 for the 6/128 version https://m.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009492488405.html?wid=1349303&utm_source=tt_de&aid=171752
Arthur Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) £231 at Aliexpress for the Poco F1 The Pocophone F1 is now available directly from Xiaomi in the UK (via Amazon). It's a bit more expensive however, but at least you won't have to ship the phone back to China if there is an issue. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JFFJDL3 Xiaomi should also be launching more phones in the UK on Thursday. www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_is_holding_a_launch_event_in_the_uk_on_november_8_mi_8_pro_teased-news-34069.php Edited November 6, 2018 by Arthur
MkII Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 People are expecting to use the UK base to get their Chinese purchased phones supported.
Arthur Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 That's also good news then. I wonder if the increased competition from the likes of Xiaomi and OnePlus will have any effect on the prices of smartphones in the UK? Google and Samsung charge far too much for their flagship devices IMO!

steve Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 Love my Nokia 5. Bloatware free, just the stock android. Regular and timely updates too. Stuck a 64GB SD card in and expanded the storage and all appears as a single amount of space fully available for all apps, photos, music, etc. Survived a few drops too. 2

Compared to the Nokia 7.1 or even the Samsung Galaxy A5 the camera is not very good...so can't go with that one I'm afraid... https://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=4&idPhone1=9354&idPhone2=8571&idPhone3=8494
witch Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Huewei P20 Very nice camera - robust phone I have an earlier, cheaper version and I am very happy with it
