Just wondered if anyone could recommend a decent phone out at the minute.

I currently have a HTC One and usually love HTC, but this one's been meh and had a few issues.

Don't particularly want an iPhone, but there are some good offers on them with EE.

Any help would be appreciated

I've always used Samsung. I think (for what I need and use it for) it's streets ahead of the iPhone.
My Mrs. is apple and I'm Samsung, she's adamant iphone is best but.......... when she wants a photo, she'll use mine as she says my picture quality is better, if she watches a film/sky go she'll use mine as the screen is bigger/picture is better!
Your stuck with apple on using approved apps. I have a few film streaming apps on my phone that I can't get on her iphone as it block the download everytime.
My upgrade is due soon and can't wait for the galaxy s8. Looks awesome. I think iphone will be pushed to match it's spec on there next release at the end of the year!

I agree, and on top of all that, what pisses me off most about Apple is the charger for iPhones.

Every other manufacturer uses micro usb cables, I can even use my SnapOn torch charger to charge my phone! But Apple? No, you must have OUR chargers. Also we'll screw you over if you don't have the latest model by changing the charger port size

This is one of the reason I am going to Samsung when mine is up end of April, I had around 8 chargers for my iPhone 6

I've got the Galaxy s6, normally I upgrade phones when the contracts up but I'm likely to just keep it and do a cheap sim-only deal instead.

If certain Tech companies were Unions, they'd be accused of restrictive practices.

Goggle pixel looks a good phone as does the one 3t

The new headphones aswell, it isn't a 3mm jack. It's the charger port. Do you can't charge and listen to music at ghetto same time. What bright spark dreamt that up???

Samsung S7 edge for me - lovely phone

Liquid Gold · Mar 26, 2017

There's no perfect phone and I hate all the arguing about apple or android being better. You have to find what works for you.

Personally I have an iPhone but that's because I also have a MacBook and they pair together really well. I can make notes on my phone and they are instantly transferred to my mac, my calendars are synced and I can use my computer for phone calls and text messaging. Also any iBooks are transferred between devices and when you read to a certain page they will communicate and open on that page on both.

I'm using the One+ 3T. Brilliant phone, lightening fast to load apps, dash charge on it too so fully charges in about an hour. It doesn't heat up through use. Dropped it about 5 times onto hard surfaces and hasn't even so much as turned off. Solidly built. The case is built from a solid piece of metal (I want to say aluminium but not sure) so always has a weird yet lovely cold feel to it. Can't recommend it enough and about half the price as the galaxy s7.

Still on galaxy note 4, not going to bother upgrading for the sake of it

Covstu · Mar 27, 2017

I have the Samsung S6 edge, its a great phone. I could have upgraded to the S7 but there is virtually no difference so just dropped my monthly charge instead. Going to look at the S8 when it comes out.

stupot07 · Mar 27, 2017

I love my Samsung S7. I moved from an ipone and was a bit worried i wouldn't like android but I really love it now.

I loved the Notes ... once you get used to the size, anything else just seems too small. I'd still have my Note 3 and SIM only deal, if the kids hadn't smashed the screen. My S7 is very nice though, but am dreading the day I need to take out the battery (which you can't).

SkyBlueScottie · Apr 10, 2017

Still using my Nexus 5, looking into installing a custom rom on it to get the latest google updates for it. Otherwise I would go for a Pixel or the One plus 3 T

RegTheDonk · Apr 14, 2017

Just seen the specs for the new Samsung S8. Cow me, thats a monster screen. And the 8+ is even bigger.

Covstu · Apr 15, 2017

Yep it's a big ol beast!

Nick · Apr 16, 2017

Thing is, I've found they don't really do much more than my note 4 so don't see the point in upgrading while it works.

AngryAnt · May 4, 2017

Little late to the party, but as someone who has had only HTC's since the smart phone era, I was a massive HTC fan.
That said, the latest is just too... apple wanna be. They want you to pay over the odds and frankly it doesn't (to me) even look that good.

I went with a Samsung S7 edge and I really didn't want to due to not liking just how aggressive Samsung are on their marketing, that said... Its a pretty amazing phone, I would be lost without it already.

ccfc92 · May 11, 2017

Anyone heard much about Huawei?

#1 on google best phone search...

ccfc92 · May 20, 2017

The new HTC U11 is coming out soon, may just wait for that, good reviews.
