I've never done cashback so can't say. Would have been all over this if was 256gb. I'll wait for the import model to drop on price.

Create account with Quidco and/or Topcashback. Search on said site for carphonewarehouse, click link to open up carphonewarehouse website, order product. Wait several months. Cashback appears (hopefully).

Oops meant to say never done refresh deal. Heard if affects your credit score?

Yes, it's a hard credit check, so may well impact your credit score.

Because of cancelling the contract right?

benparker · 14 Oct 2020 at 12:10

So the fact they do a credit check, it effects your score?

Well yes. You're taking out credit.

I'm dumb, how? I'm paying everything upfront though?

Yes, even if you go for the shortest term you are still applying for credit, albeit for a small amount.

5 ii ordered, above EE deal with code, black, can't wait!

What code and how many months contract?

£655 at tecobuy https://www.tecobuy.co.uk/en_UK/sony-xperia-5-ii-5g-daul-sim-8gb-256gb-blue-5.html

If I didn't import the Snapdragon S20, would have gone for this.

~~Like phone profiles for different users? I dont think it can from a quick look in the settings~~

I was wrong. System > Advance settings will show multipe user support

When you pull down the notification panel, is there a user icon there?

Thanks, would you it's easy to reach the top with one hand?

My eyesight is shocking. Anyway to increase screen text size without increasing the screen icons.

Love the screen and camera. It's amazing.

Settings > display > font size?

Anyone getting a tempered glass?

Is there a big difference in quality when using Pro mode?

benparker · 21 Oct 2020 at 20:29

Yes some tinkering is required

Anyone know what are the pinholes at the top near the headphone jack and at the bottom near usb c?

Mic

Would have thought the left icon is sim 1?

No, it was just an upgrade from EE. If I don't like it I might even keep it, and if I could then sell it for £600, it would be an £800 contract for a Pixel 5. The price they wanted for the Pixel was mad, which was one of the things which swayed me toward the Sony.

The pixel 5 cost more than the Xperia?

How do Netflix videos show? Cropped?
