Phone contract has ran out, have a few options:
Get an S9, get a One plus 6t, get the Huawei p20 or wait till the start of next year for the s10.
Thoughts? I've literally no idea as they all look mint and cost a similar amount for the contract I'm after.
There might be some good deals about next week.
Black Friday Deals thread?

If you've something decent now I'd let it roll to the S10.

Black Friday Deals thread?
I'm happy to provide two links: one affiliate and one normal. I've seen it done this way on other forums and those who appreciate the effort use affiliate links and those who--
actually what's the point? doesn't harm you clicking an affiliate link. Unless you're buying a bondage outfit and a job lot of dog food and think I can see everyones purchase, what's so bad about affiliate links? Links from hot uk deals, google and wherever else are just those websites' affiliate links anyway. Why not let me pocket the 8p commission when you spend £1.58 on lollysticks?I'll just include a disclaimer in the thread or summat, ye ingrates.
I'm on a computer all day at work now and Friday's are notoriously quiet, so would be happy to post some bargains. I'll even take requests.

Because you're a sneaky cunt.
You tried to tie this place into one of your affiliate deals without telling anyone around the same time you were trying to bring traffic here by posting about Magic's marriage problems without his permission on Reddit.
I got an S9 last week and it's mustard. Can't comment on the others, but I wouldn't touch an iPhone with Mahows shit stained fingers.
A Reddit post that got zero upvotes because it was in some disused /r/? Yeah, brought loads of traffic here.

Baz what the fuck?
Oh that's fine then. An 'upvote' away from being a massive thunder cunt. Phew.

Every time.
Sorry (again).
I don't even know why John brought it up. For some reason he thinks Black Friday in 2017 was in March.
I'm a twit
As evidence of you being a sneaky cunt. What's Black Friday got to do with anything?
You mentioned it.

Read the parts you haven't bolded. I'm not talking about posting things here, I'm talking about when you listed this place as your website when trying to become an affiliate of somewhere, a betting site I think.
The P20 pro is glorious.
Especially with the navigation button enabled rather than the shit virtual ones.
October 2017.

Thanks for admitting you did it. I was expecting more avoidance
That sort of snide dickery is why some people, myself included, won't just let you 'pocket the 8p commission.'
If anyone ever needed a reason to buy a Mate20 Pro.
Amazing.
O2 down?
Phone showing no signal. Anyone else here got problems?

Glad I'm not the only one.

I keep getting a notification every half hour saying data is down, which would be nice if there was some kind of 'don't tell me again' option.
Data is down.

@wullie
Data is down.

Up yours
Fucking hell, data works now and just got the message again. We didn't have this with Nokias yeah, playing Snake and typing your own ringtone and that

So glad I switched to EE as I was always having data problems with O2.
Just before crimbo, I got a Nokia 7 Plus dual sim version. Love it, work and personal sim and it fast. Good screen size as well.
My View 10 just got upgraded to Android 9. Disgusting such a good phone was had for about £300.
Honors are always serious good bargains.
Went for the s10+, picked it up with the galaxy smart watch as well. There are a couple of deals on so I can claim the wireless ear buds and a wireless power bank as well.
First thoughts, the screen is incredible compared to the s7 and s8, such a huge improvement.
Just before Christmas I saw a deal where i could get the s9 on a 24 month contract, ~ £50 upfront, £30/month with 20 gb data.
Was this just an incredibly great bargain that I should have gone for, or do these kinda deals pop up semi-frequently? If so, when should I look? My Moto G 5+ has served me well for what I paid for it, but the amount of data I get through the economics of paying up front and getting a sim only deal aren't actually that great, as even sim only is quite pricey for what I get through. And to be fucking honest, after 10 years of stubbornly using low-end phones I quite fancy splurging, if only for a one off.
Anyone got a OnePlus 6T?
Worth it?
The S10 coming out means the S9 will go down in price. I'd hold out for a couple of months.
I literally don't know what I'd do without unlimited data. Managed to sneak myself onto a plan for 'young' people the week before I turned 29. I'm never leaving.
What do yous do with all that data? My contract has about 5GB and I don't even get near it.
I typically use around 8GB, but a lot of that is from the amount of time spent on trains and walking the dog and listening to podcasts. I have 24GB so it's nice to never have to worry.
I’ve used 128 gb in 6 months.
Had one for about 6 weeks. Middle of the pack camera, awful fingerprint scanner, excellent everything else.
Work pay mine and I've 30GB on the plan I think but I've never got the text to say I'm close to the limit despite lots of hotspotting for the laptop.
Cheers
With a discount I can get the s10 plus for £42/month over 24 months with 30gb data. Worth it? Kinda fancy a top end phone for the first time ever.
paging @Giggles
I'd do it anyway. The regular 10 is pointless because of the 10e, but the 10+ is about as good as you'd get at the moment. No upfront cost is class for it.
Alternatively, do they do the P30 Pro?
I'd have to pay £30 upfront for either, but I can live with that. 30gb/month is 40/month for P30 pro and 43/month for the s10 plus.
Camera and battery/charging are better on the Huawei, screen and software is better on the Samsung. I'd probably still get the Samsung, it's just more polished to use, unless camera is the biggest thing for you on a phone as it's outstanding on the Huawei.
also just noticed the s10+ has a 3.5 headphone jack. do you lose any quality going through a usbc-3.5 adapter or is it just a bit of a faff?
No there's no quality loss (it's actually better if a company actually uses the hardware properly like htc have done in the past) and you'll get USB-C buds in the box along with the adapter, but yeah it's a balls when you want to listen and charge if you haven't a wireless charger nearby. I just use Bluetooth headphones now anyway.
This ain't good news for Huawei or possibly anyone who has one.
