What phone are you sporting this year?

Lumia 950XL Very pleased with it so far, the large screen is great for my middle aged eyes especially for all the emails I need to check.

Good spec phone.

But it's Windows OS. Never could get my head round it.

HTC M8, had it for a couple of years. Decided to give the M9 a miss as it seemed a nothing upgrade. Might get an M10 but as this one is still working and doing everything it should do maybe I will just hang onto it.......

Nokia 6300. Still going strong and no GPS tracking with this baby

Google Nexus 6 designed by Huawei I believe. Great phone, unlike Samsung you aren't forced into android upgrades and pre installed software, you are asked. Nice.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - fantastic bit of kit.

Same as mine till I lost it, FrankieG, and then decided to go 'smart'. Now it's a Galaxy something - has been for years. Shit - the battery is flat again, still. No GPS tracking on mine, either - not until I find the charger, anyway. It should be in the second drawer down.

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. Not many to choose from if you want a smart phone that's a sensible size.

Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. Not too big and you can change the battery!!. Unless someone makes a phone that lasts a full day with Wifi/Internet, Bluetooth and GPS switched on, this is a killer argument for me. I always carry at least one charged spare battery with me.

My S7 Edge does this happily. I've tried hammering the battery and can get it down to 30% at worst.

Google nexus easily does this too.

Definitely got one over on the S7 then, but the S7 (and Edge) are IP68 compliant meaning if it goes for a swim in the sink or similar, it can survive for up to 30 mins (assuming the water is 1.5m deep or less)

Not my Nexus 4. Battery lasted about two hours in the end. You can change the battery on a Nexus 6P???

 

[Nishy]

Yh that is an excellent feature, to be honest I think they are very similar across the board. Main reason for the Nexus was my M8's battery was spent after 2 years (heavy use) and a free upgrade.

Nope battery us internal at15% it goes into an extreme saving mode which lasts around 4 hours with everything working. After a full days use with WiFi/ 4G, Bluetooth, apps etc the battery usually is at 30% so lasts me a day and a half. Tge charger is a fast charging cable too to in 30mins I can go from 0% to at least 80%

My only minor concern was the camera as the one on the Note is amazing. How's yours? And how did you buy it? I'm looking at replacing my Note 4 as I've had it for a year now.

The other thing you must look out for is which 4g bands are supported.

Xiaomi doesnt have all the UK ones
