Can't get a new Huawei phone so which one?

I'm due an upgrade on my mobile (actually over a year now and my phone is starting to wilt). I've had Huawei phones for years and loved them but neither EE or Sky are offering Huawei phones now Angry. I don't want an iPhone so I'm stumped. Any recommendations please? I don't need the latest super dooper model, just a decent phone with a decent camera. Thanks

I've got the Google Pixel 5 and love it, my husband upgraded recently to the Pixel 6 and it seems even better.

I've always had Samsungs.

Samsung has been a great replacement for my Huawei's.

I've got the Pixel 6. I'm happy with it. The front camera is a bit rubbish but unless you are going expensive and shelling out for an iPhone 13 Pro Max then it's great for a mid range device.

Prior to that I had the Samsung S20 FE 5g and before that the Huawei Mate 20 pro (this phone was an epic powerhouse).

I had this problem with Vodafone. I've got a Samsung S21 now. It's fine and an OK replacement, but I don't rate it as highly as the Huawei.

The pixels are great. I have the 4a. Decent camera and no bloatware.

Google pixel or one plus

Interested in the answers to this as I'm in the same boat!

I love my Huawei, have gone sim only to keep it as I know I'll have to get something different

I have a Xiaomi Mi9. Has a great camera and is a very good phone

I've had a couple of different Motorolas. I currently have a G8 Plus, which is a couple of years old, and wouldn't hesitate to get the current version if this one dies.

I loved my Huawei so when I couldn't upgrade to one I was recommended a Xiaomi note 10 pro, I absolutely love it, didn't come with the top brand price tag but has fantastic spec

MrsJackRackham · 24/01/2022 17:33

Thanks everyone, what provider does the Xiaomi phones?
I'm tempted to nurse it through with a sim only deal until it totally dies on me as I love it. Totally gutted I can't get another.

I have a Pixel and really rate it. The kids have Motorola Gs and are really happy.
