RiG Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I had a Nexus 5 and now have a 5X. I'm not bothered about a seriously high spec phone anymore and the Nexus range did me fine at a decent price as well. Plus, getting the latest version of Android first was always a big draw without the horrible overlays like TouchWiz. At those prices though I think I'll go for a 'OnePlusX' phone whenever the next one is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yeah and it's got pretty close to stock Android as well (they use an overlay called Cyanogen I think) which I like. No need for me to upgrade anytime soon really (unless my phone dies) but hopefully it will last until the OnePlus4 comes out next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're thinking of the XDA ROM thats become a "proper" OS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarusQPFC Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37606485 "Vodafone and EE have suspended replacements of Samsung's Note 7 phones amid reports that new "safe" models are still at risk of catching fire. The Three network is also not currently offering exchanges, while O2 said it was still not selling the smartphone. Samsung has cut production of the Note 7 after several reports of replacement models overheating and emitting smoke." f**k sake, might this be the worst handset release in the past decade? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of anything worse anyway. Samsung have now banned sales of the phone. Incredible after the success of the S6/7 that they manage to f**k this up so much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Mother fucker. Xperia XZ is now available on pre order (in Australia) but it's exclusive to one of the major telcos. Their plans are rubbish and I work for their rival! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm approaching the end of a 2 year contract with a Note 4. Fancy something with an even bigger screen. Can anyone recommend anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen a phone any bigger than 6". The new Samsung S8+ is 6.2" but Im not sure if thats out and if it is its bound to be pricey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iminavest Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Anyone got or had the Xperia XZ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Anyone got or had the Xperia XZ? I got the Z5 and like 3-4 days later they announced the X series so I was pretty pissed off as I paid a fair whack for my Z5. I wouldn't go near iPhone again after changing to Sony. At this moment in time it's basically between Sony and Samsung for me and I think it'd be hard to go wrong with either tbh. That said, I'll get another couple of year out my Z5 so I've not looked into the XZ much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 With my OnePlus 2 getting old and the OnePlus3 a bit expensive, I decided to go for the Lenovo P2. It's a Three exclusive, but they'll flog it PAYG unlocked for £199. 5.5" screen, 5100mAh battery, dual sim, Snapdragon 625. The battery life is utterly tremendous, easily the best I've ever had from a smartphone and it can also be used as a powerbank to top up other devices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 It's that magical time of year again. Upgrade time for the Xperia Z5. Now as a starting point i've been looking at the Xperia XZ also catching my eye is the samsung s8. anyone tried either handset 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Nope, but in terms of flagship Android phones the HTC u11 is really impressing me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Got the Samsung Galaxy S8 couple of months ago. It's nice but just feels like you're holding a piece of glass so is too delicate for me. I've now swapped to a Sony Xperia XZ Premium. I loved my old Z3 so this is just a bigger, better version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've already had one of the Xperia phones never changed through the years probably just stick and go with the XZ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
