I've been due a mobile upgrade for 2 years.
I have been on Apple for forever but I'm seriously considering going with something different.
What phone do you have?
Do you love it?

iPhone7 - could never leave Apple!

Sexnotgender · 21/02/2019 16:15

I also have the iPhone XR, I also love it.

iPhone X, I love it, not planning on a new one for a few years!

Oddsocksandmeatballs · 21/02/2019 16:17

Huawei, I have the P9 but will move over to the newest model when this one dies. I have had iPhones in the past but could never understand what the fuss was about so moved away to an android phone.

Barrenfieldoffucks · 21/02/2019 16:20

Used to have apple, but moved over to android years ago and haven't looked back. Last few phones have been Motorolas, I can't be doing with expensive tariffs and the newest 'G' is normally around £150 on Amazon and then a Giffgaff sim for a tenner a month.

If I were going big bucks I would go for a Huawei, or a Google I think

SixFeetUnder · 21/02/2019 16:23

I was the same as you, would never have though I'd leave Apple but I January I got the Huawei P20 Pro and it is fantastic and I don't regret moving whatsoever. The camera is worth it alone.

IWouldPreferNotTo · 21/02/2019 16:25

Moto G5s Plus as I like a good budget phone that I don't worry about. Does everything I need like NFC for contacless payment, fingerprint unlock and acceptable camera

Batsypatsy · 21/02/2019 16:30

I've had Apple but didn't get in with it. I've since only had Samsung, currently A3 2017 and I've been very happy with all of them. I wouldn't get anything different. I only pay £20 per month and I never use up my allowance.

Roussette · 21/02/2019 16:51

I've never been Apple anything and never wanted to. Was always Samsung but converted to OnePlus with the OnePlus3 and I'm now OnePlus5T.

Oh my goodness, the quality is fantastic. Little bloatware, it has dash charging (can charge from 0 to 100% in one hour) and battery lasts easily more than a day. Plus it's about half the price of Samsung.

peeree · 21/02/2019 16:55

I had an iphone from work but when I changed jobs I lost the phone. Bought a Samsung and I love it. Wouldn't go back to overpriced Apple at all.

My friend has a Huawei and loves it (she also previously had i phone)

QuirkyQuark · 21/02/2019 16:55

iPhone SE, I like the size.
Teen son same as me.
Daughter an XR.
Husband IPhone 8.

guessmyusername · 21/02/2019 16:56

Samsung A6 does what I need it to do (except cooks and cleans for us!) and costs less than a quarter of dd's apple (which also doesn't cook and clean)

QuirkyQuark · 21/02/2019 16:56

Oh and my daughter says the XR is bloody brilliant.

OddestSock · 21/02/2019 16:58

I had iPhones for 9 years. In November I switched to a Huawei p20 pro and love it! The camera is fantastic, storage is better and it was far cheaper than an iPhone. I probably wouldn't switch back to an iPhone (we do have iPads / iMacs at home so not having iTunes is a little frustrating) unless they were a lot cheaper

Hiddenaspie1973 · 21/02/2019 16:58

Samsung s7 edge. I love it.
I'm looking at getting an honor 8x.
My Dd has one. As good as the iphone, but quarter of the cost.

NotMyUsualTopBilling · 21/02/2019 17:02

Moto G3.

I've had it 3 years and still going strong, will probably with Moto upgrade when it dies. I don't feel the need for expensive fancy phones.

neversleepagain · 21/02/2019 17:05

Huawei P20 Proz it's a great phone with an amazing camera.

princesspeppax · 21/02/2019 17:05

Another one with iphone XR love it

Whynham · 21/02/2019 18:49

Huawei P20 lite. Hugely more customisable than an iPhone. You can do so much more.

QuestionableMouse · 21/02/2019 18:54

Huawei P20 pro.

I really like it. Takes good pics, plenty of memory and the screen is nice and clear.

lucysmam · 21/02/2019 18:59

I have a Samsung S9 & I love it...saw an advert for the S10 last night & it looks very swish!

I've tried a few iPhones in the past, borrowed from my Dad to see what they're like, but wasn't keen.

We have a Huawei P smart handset too, that I top up £5 a month if we're likely to go out & give to dd2 to put in her pocket in case we're separated. She likes to take photo's on it too & I can't fault it really. I think I'd have happily had one for myself if I didn't really want an up to date Samsung after years of an older HTC while I saved up :)
