Which Phone

[sonofsanta]

5 months on.... Nexus4 or Razr I ?

 

Is the Razr worth £5 a month more than the Nexus?

 

My Sensation died and I can't cope with my temporary LG E400

 

Heavens no, the RAZR i is a mid-spec phone at best in the current market - 4.3" screen, 540 x 960 resolution... it's not a bad phone, I don't think (though there may be compatibility issues with apps) but the Nexus is a top-end spec at a superb price.

 

The HTC One probably beats the Nexus 4 now, but is also not as cheap.

I'm just looking at the VirginMobile deal. After my experience with the Sensation, I'm shying away from HTC. I use my Samsung Tab2 a lot and would prefer a decent phone that I could use as a hotspot rather than a high end one.

If only I had £400 :-(

I love my One, £30 for the phone on a £26 a month deal

I did like the look of the One.

 

I think I have decided, maybe, to buy a phone and continue with my Vodafone contact until it ends. But will see if I can get a reasonable priced repair for the USB port, just in case that will fix it.

I have 2 Sensations for sale

I'll swap for one broken one :-)

 

The usb ports seems to be a common problem. I was quite disappointed with this phone.

Haha, we have loved ours since the update around Easter '12. Both USB ports have been fine, just got one with a few lines of dead pixels that appeared a month or so ago.

Here's a curveball......take a look at the Xtreamer joyz. A better spec than the S4 and only 299 euros. Totally unlocked and is root enabled. I've got the Xtreamer Akai 5". Dual Sim and I love it.

Conveniently, Anandtech have just posted a review of it: AnandTech | OPPO Find 5 Review

 

They seem pretty impressed with it overall, though they still think the Nexus edges it, particularly as it's available cheaper.
