Next Phone - Mid Range

killianmcc · 19 Jun 2016 at 16:13

Hi guys,

I'm looking to grab a new phone, my 1520 is slowly killing me. I guess I'm looking for value mainly and non-Apple. These are what I'm looking at for the moment, with the rough prices I've been able to find. One Plus is probably my front runner as I've heard good things. You can see my price point, I really don't want to go over £400. Any opinions or additional suggests are welcomed!

One Plus 3 £309
Huawei Mate 8 £320
Xiaomi Mi5 £314
Huawei P9 Plus £385

I have found the 6P 32gig version for £387. Would you take this over the One Plus?

The 6p has a few advantages, bigger and higher res screen with SRGB calibration, great stereo speakers and a better camera. If these are important to you then I'd say yes.

I'm looking to spend similar on a phone and pretty much set on the the mi5 now. For pure power and it isn't a bad looker either
