I've been an HTC user for a few years now, starting with my Desire C, up until my current U11. They are perfect, but I like them because they contain very little bloat from the factory.

I'm due for renewal soon with my current provider, O2. I don't have any plans to leave O2, but I am stuck about my next phone now that HTC aren't sold by O2. I am reluctant to go with Huawei due to recent headlines. I would consider Samsung, but their pre-installed bloatware is somewhat off putting. Then we have Honor who I haven't heard of until recently.

I'm not especially a heavy user of my phone. But I do enjoy how snappy my U11 feels and I like the fact I know I'm going to get a half decent photo when I take one. I would be content enough with a phone that is just as good my U11 is now, but obviously better is a bonus. I am not a heavy data user, I enjoy the freedom of unlimited minutes although I have been known to manage on 300 minutes each month previously. Text messages are seldom, as I primarily use Whatsapp.

I plan to get my phone directly from O2, while trying to keep my contract at around £35/pcm. So I'd rather keep any suggestions to what O2 can provide.

In a few words: Help me choose! :o
 
I have thought about buying a OnePro 6 outright, but it's a lot of money in one big lump - whereas on a contract it's spread across xx months.

It's not so much a case of being loyal to O2. But I know where I am with them and they've always given me good signal and customer service.

Since you don't sound like a heavy phone user, you could look for a Google Pixel 3A XL. You can pick one up with not much data for a lot less than £35 per month. No bloatware, good camera, long-term support. Not pretty and lacking in bells and whistles, but probably fits the bill for you.

I've looked at that and it comes it at around £40/pcm on O2. But when you says it lacks bells and whistles, what do you mean?
 
Okay, after much deliberation, I think the Huawei P30 (not pro) might fit the bill for me. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, as I want to see what people think about the phone. Obviously the Pro is the better of the two, but I actually don't like the curved screen as well as the increased cost of the phone.
 
Bit of a thread bump as I have been half heartedly wondering about getting the P30 (standard, not Pro or Lite) or Samsung A71.

Would appreciate any opinions or even suggestions of another phone, available on O2.
