I had this issue with mine (there'll be posts on here no doubt). My Samsung A20e has been faultless, having got used to the 5.8" dimension. Google is saying £150 is current RRP.

I’ve switched networks from giffgaff (who use o2 and have rubbish signal in work) to Smarty (who use three, and seem to get a better signal where I need it) no complaints yet. I’m on the 8GB for £7 plan.
At a risk of being a bit of a Baz, I got a referral link that gets whoever uses it a free month or something, https://i.smarty.co.uk/VNQGjhp
Ya, it's a solid build too going off mine, I've just got one of those basic clear condoms with no screen protection for it and not a single mark yet.
Speaking of referrals…
I’ve used Airtime Rewards for a while and had a few £5 discounts knocked off my [O2 sim only] phone bill most months since, mostly just from shopping at Morrisons.
Basically you download an app, link your debit/credit cards and then when you make a purchase with them from a shop that’s listed (there’s a lot) you get a percentage of it added to you Airtime account. Then when your pot reaches £5 you can redeem it off your next phone bill (or gift it to another Airtime user, apparently, but that starts at £10.)
There doesn’t seem to be an exact list (sneaky) of which phone networks are subscribed to the service but they claim that 10 are, including O2, EE, BT, giffgaff, Tesco and Three but Google suggests it’s worth trying to see if your phone contract is linked.
If you use my referral code of 8NVGJCQ8 when you join Airtime Rewards you’ll get £1 credit into your new account and another £2 if you make a valid purchase within 7 days of registering. I also get the same reward, so thank you very much! (Or if you join tomorrow or later it’s 50p + £1 after a purchase, so act fast!)
You need to download the app and use the code 8NVGJCQ8 when signing up (or after you have signed in, under the ‘More > Promo Code’ section, enter the code and hit Submit)
I'm a twit
Wife wants a new phone, currently paying £25 SIM only with an old Galaxy S8. She only uses it for messaging, facebook, instagram etc. She does smash the data though so really need unlimited or at least a decent amount (more than 50gb) a month. Ideal price point would be around £30 a month. Seen the S20 FE ones but a lot of reviews are mixed, are the A series as shit as they appear? I could lumber her with one and bag a free Switch but would feel guilty if it is terrible. Basically needs a good battery and loads of data.
My sister recently upgraded from an A50 to an A52 and it seems very good. The former was excellent also.
Got the new iPhone which is nice and all but it’s broken my Google Chrome (unless there’s a weird coincidence). I can’t seem to play any videos through it (YouTube is fine) as it’s just a black screen but audio fully works.
Also, typing is horrendous on Chrome, I wouldn’t advise to do it if you suffered from epilepsy. Is this Apple forcing me to move to Safari?
Safari is miles better than Chrome
I’m just lazy because all my passwords, card details etc are saved
Wife got a new phone Thursday night from Tesco, PAC sent. Her number still hasnt migrated, is there a potential issue with samsung chat like I have heard with iMessage on iPhones?
Is it broken these days or am I missing something as to how I’d share a ticket in my Apple wallet with someone?
Got a new Samsung A32 5G from work after smashing my TCL to fuck. Decent handset and I can very 5G despite no vaxx.
Got the iPhone 13 Pro Max today. It’s pretty big but already getting used to it. The screen is wonderful and the camera is great.
Is there any way to make incoming WhatsApp calls time out after a certain length of time? I have a couple of nuisance customers that persist in calling via it when I have told them numerous times not to, and one of them called me at 9:11 this morning and it's still dialling.
Or better yet, can you disable the call feature altogether?
I think it’s come to that now.
Upgraded from a Note 10+ to a S21 Ultra, lovely stuff.
I need a UK number, whats the best type of deals now if I don't want a phone just the SIM?
End of an era. Today is is last day that the Blackberry phones will work.
Light candle @Giggles
All of them or just the old blackberry OS ones?
Presumed it meant all of them, but on 2nd reading it relates to the blackberry OS ones.
Piss on the candle.
Someone fucking help me resolve the data storage issues that have made me age unnecessarily over the past few years. What's the fucking solution beside deleting things regularly? I made do on my 5GB Onedrive storage for years but enough is enough, I paid something like a £2 month for 100GB last week but it hasn't restarted syncing so I'm pissed. And now mum's phone is at breaking point for same reasons and she'll probs get a new one soon but I need to solve this issue before that one ends the same way.
Turn off WhatsApp auto downloading everything and/or just buy a device with more space
You can't toggle that whatsapp setting to be conversation specific, right? Maybe it's cause I'm a hoarder but I can't believe there's no better solution. These OneDrive/Google Photo/Dropbox services are so disjointed for basic users.
Why would you want any conversations to automatically save photos to your photo library?
I dunno, it was a pleasant surprise seeing some excellent grot from the Norwich covid tinder goldrush in my gallery, less so the billions of fucking lame motivational pictures from the cocaine addiction support group.
Bought a Poco F3 from amazon, the flashlight/flash doesn't work and Amazon are out of stock so I've got to send it to Xiaomi for repair
I think the fleshlight is one of the features you miss out on by not going for the flagship models.
Finally my A20E took a fall and cracked its screen. 2 years it lasted but if I hadn't been lazy and replaced its broken cover it would have gone for at least another 2 ffs.
Dismayed to find that once again industry standard has added yet another inch to phones. I'll swallow the 6.6" for my new A22 like your mum but give me my 4.8" back ffs.
£179 from John Lewis.
It must be so hard having baby hands.
Anyone done the iOS 16 beta yet? Is it a shit show or usable on a main phone at this stage?
I can upgrade my phone (Galaxy S20) in a few weeks but I'm not sure what to upgrade to.
I've heard the S22 line has had problems with the Exynos chip, the Pixel 6 line has a lot of broken features and whilst the Oppo Find X5 Pro has gotten a lot of praise I don't know too much about the brand.
Oppo are another offshoot of BBK, similar to Oneplus and Vivo. I've had the Find X2 Pro for a while now and can't really fault it. Actually sold one and used an S20 Ultra and then a Pixel 6 Pro for a while but ended up getting another X2 Pro. Hardware-wise it's great, just don't expect Google updates as quickly as other brands.
I bought a Pixel 6 and it's been the only phone that I haven't actually liked.
Previously had no issues with an iPhone, Xiaomi and OnePlus - decided to get a Pixel 6 and there are just too many small bugs. Finger print scanner is turd, no face unlock, it can get a little laggy and it gets very hot when used for more than 20 minutes. Great camera, though.
I've just got the 6. There's a small Chrome bug but so far everything seems fine.
I'm due an upgrade next month. What's good these days? I'm getting bored of Samsungs.
Are iPhones still exclusively for twats?
I attempted to go back to iPhone after switching to Android... it didn't go well. Once you go Android, I feel you have to stay - going back to iPhone and finding everything was locked down or impossible to change/customize was infuriating.
Apparently it's getting better with widgets and stuff. Not sure what it is like right now.
People who use Android over Apple are definitely some edgy warlords.
I’m a few years back on iOS now and anyone that can get an iPhone and doesn’t get an iPhone is probably wrong. You do need to have no real interest in phones but the market is that stagnant now that I can’t see how anyone does, so just get the one that does 90% of things better.
