Anyone recommend a rolling 1 month phone contract? I'm after good coverage & lots of data for minimal dollars.
I pay £15 per month for 24Gb of data with Virgin.
That's about as good as it gets.
Virgin uses EEs network too, so don't let the name put you off.
Is this phone any good?
My Nexus 4 has finally given up the ghost after someone who shall remain nameless chucked coffee all over it and now the microphone doesn't seem to work. What is Prime Day?
Neither of those seem to link to anything.
That site won't ship here (Guernsey), and I got a bit confused with that Honor 7 thing, is it massive? Some of them seem to be 1.5cm thick and weight 500g, which seems, erm, substantial. See here.
Is this that Nokia one?
What about this little bugger? Any good?
Yeah would be a good shout too, and is a bit smaller. Nearly everything is going to feel big coming from the Nexus 4 though, the Nokia is pretty sizeable as well (that's the right one btw). The Nokia would have software extremely close to the Nexus (Runs Android One so Google handle the updates) and Huawei do their own thing completely, looks a bit like iOS.
Probably be a bit dearer, but what about an iPhone SE or one of the original Pixels? I'd say there's good reductions on them now and they're a good one handed size.

Went for one of these in the end.
Good choice. John Lewis were selling them for £159 a week or so ago. Mental price.
Would explain why they're massively sold out there, as I'd have probably got one from them otherwise.
It's not like John Lewis to have anything for less than double what it should be.
Finally got a replacement for my broken S7 Edge.
Enter the Honor View 10.
What an awesome phone.
New iPhone being announced soon. Hope it looks nicer than the X.
Not that I’ll ever be able to afford to upgrade my 7, mind.
I'm a twit
My S7 edge is starting to die. The battery only lasts around 8 hours of decent usage now, and I've started carrying about a powerbrick with me just in case. It's had a decent run - I've had it for 2 and a half years. Hopefully it can cling on until the S10 comes out.
I was looking at a Note 9 myself the other day, eglobal have the big 512/8GB dual SIM version at €1016 at the moment but I just know I'll regret it of I don't wait til October to see what the Pixel 3 and OnePlus 6T are like.
I need to go in and take advantage of the fact that Apple got sued into having to replace the battery for cheap but the idea of having to schedule an appointment to talk to an Apple 'Genius' means it's nearly 9 months later and I still have awful battery life.
If you've an iPhone 6 you're well due an upgrade anyway. Those things are slower than a wet week now.
I'm not on a contract, I bought this one with my bonus from years back.
Probably but I'm not chucking a grand at any of the shit that's around at the moment.
Stop paying for homeless folk to drink Special Brew.
I'm a twit
I'm back in Switzerland now, we've just got Romani which aren't getting a penny.
The S10 looks insane, spec wise.
This is why I opted for a beast of a phone now (internal spec wise) because the S10 and the innovations that come off the back of that I won't be able to appreciate for a couple of years LOL.
Those Huawei/Honor phones are absolute monsters for specs.
They are, it's quite disgusting.
The only 'downsides' to the View 10 that I can see are:
Not as good a camera
Not waterproof (at all)
Everything else is totally solid. The EMUI interface took a bit of getting used to, but within a day I absolutely adore it over my S7 Edge. £270 ex-VAT lads.
I feel like all the Android phones can kind of mould into one now. Very small differences about these days.
Is the S10 supposed to be that good?
In the market for a new phone. Can get the Honor 10 for 329 which sounds pretty awesome but then I'm a bit worried about dropping it and it smashing to smithereens.
Is it the best phone around that price? Will I kill it within a month?
The Nokia 7.1 is getting good write ups in that price range. There's the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 too but it has a MIUI software skin which is a mess. The Nokia is an Android One phone.
Nokia 7.1 looks a sensible buy. Which would you choose out of that or the Honor 10?
Depends what you want from it. I'd say the Honor camera is slightly better and it has a faster processor, but personally I'd choose the one running Android One over one with EMUI for clean software and future updates (Google looks after the updates for Android One phones directly).
I’ve got a Samsung S9 arriving tomorrow.
I’ll be so glad to see the back of my iPhone, the piece of shit. In 18 months they’ve had to replace it once and unclog the charging port twice, which meant 3 trips to pissing Tilbury backwaters. It’s also slow as fuck in comparison to what my S6 was and has a battery life of about 7 minutes.
Fuck Apple.

I'm getting a pain in my hole waiting for a Mate 20 Pro to arrive.
Got a P20 pro coming tomorrow.
20% off the contract too as I get NHS discount through my Mum.
Unrelated (I'm writing this from one of their laptops) but I was recording an interview while short on equipment today and found out that Lenovo have software patched out using your headphone socket as a 3.5mm input microphone without doing a bunch of work I didn't have the time to do. PATCHED OUT. IT'S FUCKING MADNESS. What engineer made the decision to push out a build that makes your hardware less useful?
I'm not that bad.
