After 12 months if you upgrade they pay off the remainder outstanding when they receive your trade-in and accept it. You only pay the monthly payment of the new phone.

The upgrade program is fairly good in that it's quite flexible and guarantees you a trade in value of 50%-ish for a year old phone (assuming it's not broken), which you won't always get from a reseller. There are downsides in that if you upgrade in 12 months, you won't have a phone to sell at the end of 24 months.

My Last Samsung (s7 plus) lasted 2 years and 2 weeks. I gave it to my partner after I updated to the S9 plus and she promptly dropped and totally ruined it after just 2 weeks. I'm hoping my S9 will live longer but I'm note sure about giving it to her again! She had my 2014 Sony until just very recently
Yup
s20 had that narrow look in the hand which i find the s10 had.
S20 Ultra was pleasingly not at all as bad as I imagined, S20+ perfectly usable if you have a s9+ already
I have had my hands on all the dummies, Despite screen sizes i'd say the same 100%

Yep, the Phonearena comparison tool shows them to have almost the same footprint, with the S20+ being a fraction taller than the S9+.
So why even have a glass layer if it's slapped under layers of easily scratchable plastic? Even most of the reviewers have been suckered in by this talking about the "glass screen" in reviews when in reality they're interacting with plastic. The whole point of it needing a glass screen was durability, the way it's been used in this makes it having a glass layer utterly redundant besides it being a marketing buzzword.
Probably gen 1 stuffs. It's happened before where a maker has a deadline to meet for release so they make do with what they have engineered as these things are initially drawn up long ago in the design stages and as the tech matures it's always gen 2 that fixes the early faults.

No case?
She requires a chunky one
It had a case but it was a plastic flapped front type and it just fell flat it's face. She's getting a faux leather one with a magnetic front flap which will hopefully close. So yeah more chunky this time lol. Also I just bought a screen protector, something which just didn't work on the S7 edge screen well at all. This one isn't too bad but the responsiveness is down even with the screen protector option enabled and I'm often pressing the "wrong" key now suddenly.
Getting quite excited for the new phone now.
Why would they need to? They aren't videos or games they are part of the UX which runs at whatever is set as the system refresh rate. Is there any info showing otherwise?
so no 'initial payment' again?
with my current sim deal it will cost me about £55 pm average over 12 months. current sim is £19 pm for 30gb data with three, they say all their sims are 5g.
so in 12 months if the new phone is similar value i should then pay around £50pm for phone and sim combined. techinically its like owning the phone as you sell it back to them after 12 months and knock it off the new phone price.
Am i missing something?
i can get 3% cashback which is a few quid pm off also.

People use the Samsung browser?!
Yes, you are missing that you still pay £100 upfront for the S20 when you renew and you don't get anything for returning your current handset if it's already in the upgrade programme.
The upgrade programme is best value only if you have a handset you own to trade in or if you want the 2 years 0%
