Rick Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - small issue with the side of my thumb occasionally activating the side menu but other than that I fucking love this phone. Easily the best one I've had, has done all I ask of it. Having said that, the pixel 2 looks sexual....especially the blue one. The camera on it is spectacular and I use my camera a lot for Instagram so I may be tempted in the next couple of months.

Got the same as you (S7 Edge) which I do love though had one screen issue with it earlier in the year. Looking possibly at the Pixel as my next phone in the new year.
Bluewolf Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Mine is a bog standard hand me down Samsung something or other... the numbers have faded on it so don't know much else got a decent camera on it though and I use that quite a bit for odds and sods.. I only use mine to take a few calls and do a bit of texting.. the little buttons are far too small for my manly ( some would say sausage ) fingers and I don't have FB or any of them things and don't feel the need to be having something I am struggling to fit in my back pocket.. Also the lower grade phones do have their benefits.. don't cost much and cant do things like video calls like my last phone the girls got me.. Not getting caught out with one of them again.. makes it hard to tell a few white lies to the missus if you are out really late..
Rick Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Bluewolf, that's the oldest you've ever sounded on here you ancient git 😂

I see how much people are paying a month for the privilege and think sod that!!
TrstnFCB Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Have a Huawei P10 Lite. I'm not a big cell phone user or any of these social media things so can't say much about it. It's good for texting, taking some pictures during hiking/camping and I use a couple of apps (FitNotes for gym and a beer app to remember new beers I liked), but that's about all I do with it.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 18, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 18, 2017 Got a Pixel 2 XL for Xmas and have to say its quite beautiful. Loving it so far.
Rab Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 I'm trying to decide on whether I should upgrade from a Pixel XL to a Pixel 2 XL. Not sure there is enough of a difference for it to be worth it considering the Pixel XL is still better than most phones that are just coming out.

Not sure there is enough of a difference for it to be worth it considering the Pixel XL is still better than most phones that are just coming out. Most of the improvements are all software based so I'd say wait. Next year they'll probably do a whole design refresh (exterior) with a new OS so that might be the time to upgrade.

I'm due an upgrade at the end of June and don't really want another Samsung (it's been good but I doubt there'll be a difference between the S7 and the S9).
Honey Honey Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 My Samsung has been sending loads of "breaking news" notifications lately that really don't warrant a notification. Doing my nut in. I would like breaking news but not this. The date of the royal wedding is not breaking news. An RAF base going into lock down does not need to be sent to my phone until something newsworthy actually happens. The poor lass who worked for the British Embassy who was raped and murdered in Beirut maybe counts, but then I don't need a follow up notification the next day to say the police have arrested someone. They are spamming my phone now.

Honey Honey Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 They've just sent yet another one. Something along the lines of "Mutiple casualties as train crashes" Didn't say where so you have to click to their article to find out. Pure clickbait. They've gone right down hill.

I'm getting these notifications too all of a sudden. There was something called News Republic on my last phone (HTC) which appeared to install itself after a software update because I never put it on but to be fair the news was actually worthwhile.
Administrator Stan Posted December 18, 2017 Administrator Posted December 18, 2017 go to App settings and 'Force Stop' the app?
Spike Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Apple already has all my personal information. I'd rather not give it to Samsung as well.

They are spamming my phone now. Its their poor integration with Google Assistant imo. This damn thing has been flooding me with news from football and tech ever since I got the phone. You can turn it off in the Assistant settings but some of the cards are actually quite useful for my work. Just go to the Google app on your phone, find Notifications -> Go to your Feed and turn it off then it kills it. If you're using a Samsung and haven't turned their assistant off then that might still churn out results and I am not sure what to do there really.
Burning Gold Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 I've recently upgraded to a Galaxy Note 8 and it's an absolute dream. Fortunately I got £200 off it through my employer because I don't think I'd have paid the full asking price for it; as brilliant as it is, I just couldn't justify spending that much on something I don't need. As for news, can you guys not just disable or uninstall upday? I use Google Play Newsstand and Reuters, and I've never seen them as spammy or clickbait.
Bluebird Hewitt Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 It's around now where I'm eligible for an upgrade. Tempted on the Huawei P20 Pro atm.
Carnivore Chris Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 One of the newest Huawei phones, which I like to be honest, it's one of the best phones i've had I'd say. The Indian bird in Vodafone was very flirty and by the end of it I am now paying nearly double per month what I was. She saw me coming @Stan

And that's what I did today. Really liking it so far but need a better case for the phone as the freebie one you get is a bit flimsy. And I managed to transfer my FM18 save as well.
