Another new phone thread

Hi all,

My good lady's Oneplus 3T is on it's last legs and I am going to hand down my Moto G8 Plus as she likes it and it's not too old and in good nick.

This means I am looking for a decent replacement for myself but there are so many to choose from I'm a bit lost.

Budget is 200 - 300 (with a bit extra if it's worth it) Just wondering what the OCUK thoughts are.

@doodah cheers for the update, I'm off to drown myself in youtube video reviews :cry:

Cheers @MrRockliffe I quite like the Moto phones but not sure which to move to to get a decent upgrade (too many options hurting my poor brain)

Managed a one day only deal on a Mi 11 lite 5G for only 300 squids so lets see how I get on

Got one myself a couple of weeks ago. How are you finding yours ?

Only real negative I've found is that the battery life sucks. No way I get a full day from it. But it least it charges super-fast. I've put the screen back temporarily to 60hz from 90hz to see if that makes a difference. But will put it back to 90. I came from a 2 year old Galaxy A70, and to be honest I don't see the M11 5G lite as being a very much better use experience. Not much of an upgrade if any, apart from being much lighter phone, a bit more responsive, and with possible future benefit of 5G. Surprisingly I do miss the unreliable in-screen fingerprint scanner on the A70. I may well go back to it.

Hey @Tuvoc, I get a couple of days out of mine so maybe you got a dodgy one, i only have a few quibbles so far but they are mostly with MIUI and I need to just get used to it.
