Note 10 Plus 5G, certainly not that old yet but getting itch for that high refresh screen and better camera, once the light goes down it's really lagging behind current phones.
 
37 months.

It's a Sony xz1. I got it on contract and my wife wanted one too, so bought hers sim free from Amazon a few weeks later (where it had dropped to £200).

She had an upgrade a couple of months ago, but there's nothing I fancy currently (everything is too ******* big!), but my XZ1's screen was coming away from the body so I swapped over to her old one.
Tapped out a couple of days after posting :D

Saw a Samsung S21 on a good deal (£23/month, £75 up front), and it's similar dimensions to my XZ1 (so not huge like almost everything else).
 
Damn, I'd been looking for a whole and they were out of stock (still are) and tariffs were a bit rich for my liking. Guess I'll keep looking!
 
P20 pro
Screens a bit scratchy battery a bit under performing but I treat it like dirt and it's still basically perfect for my needs...
Crazy.
I'd have to treat a new phone with respect :p

I got the urge to upgrade to a xaomia 11t but it soon went....

I might look at the next gen... But tbh I do t see huge improvement in the mid range category over the p20 for my needs.
 
One Plus 6T - Day 1. So how ever long that is.

Probably looking at actually grabbing the 10 Pro on contract when it hits the UK - First time I won't just buy it out right. (The S22 Ultra is on my list but I aint spending £60 a month)
 
2019 got a mate 20 pro but its a bit of a state now after some heavy drops ,get the no sim card inserted every few days that requires a restart .
Would like to replace with something else with a great camera ,front and rear gorilla glass and wireless charging but don't fancy spending silly money ,one plus 9 pro seems to have what i need for near £600 but i keep reading some poor reviews with battery and software issues ?
 
I nearly pulled the trigger on an S20 Ultra yesterday, but I told myself I'd only ever buy a smaller (or same size) phone, the search continues. Huawei will do a battery swap for £60 but I'd be without it for about a week and the phone is barely worth that!

I must admit I like my P20 (lite) does everything I need, only criticism is the camera isn't great.

Like yours battery is starting to fade but still not bad for a 4 year old phone.

I'm not planning on replacing this anytime soon unless it gets broken or fails. Reckon the battery will be good for at least another year.
 
well ,replaced the mate 20 pro with a new older phone Oppo find x2 pro 12g ram and 512g rom 120 hz qhd ect in ceramic black ,spec is still amazing at the £300 i paid ,boxed with all accessory's inc case and screen protector applied .
Camera much better especially that optical zoom ,thought i would miss wireless charging but its still 70 percent plus after 24 hrs and tops up in minutes ,just got some usbc dust covers so i dont end up with a dodgy connecter again
