It's really weird, and it's probably marketing geniuses to blame, but I am the complete opposite in that it's the ecosystem that puts me off iPhone. That and the notch. How they get away with that notch I'll never know.

once you try Face ID and get used to it, its hard to move to away, I love it, fast and efficient.

I did wonder whether there was some sort of monetisation thing going on there, never bothered looking in to it. Makes sense as some really do seem to treat it as their job.

Think the Xiaomi 12T 8gb 256gb for £449 is a steal! Might pull the trigger on that very soon ... plus free watch!

Just ordered a Redmi Note 11 Pro (6/128). The larger screen will be welcome compared to my Pixel 4a, and for £199 it seems like a good deal.
The Mi website had it down to £219 then applied another £20 discount in the trolley which was a nice Brucey bonus.

Loving my Xperia 5 ii, perfect size - compact and cpu is a beast. Doubt ill upgrade anytime soon.

Cancelled the Redmi Note 11 pro and went with the Note 10 Pro which was £150 from Argos. Appears to be pretty much the same phone with some minor differences such as charging time.

Arrived this morning via DPD. First impression is that it is a great phone, especially for the price.

I'm waiting for the S23 Ultra.

I ditched my Pixel 6 Pro due to the various issues it suffered with. I went through 3 of the damn things and during that time, the screen failed on one of them whilst I was on honeymoon. I purchased a Samsung A13 as a standby phone until I returned home and it impressed me enough to wait for the S23.

My other half has just had a full refund on her OnePlus 8T due to an issue that couldn't be repaired under warranty and I've just ordered her a OnePlus 10T for the grand sum of £280 after trading in my trusty old OnePlus 6T. Not too shabby given the spec.

hoping to get another year out of my Mi-11 then see what pops up on their today only on the xiaomi site.

I woke for a telecoms company so just upgraded from an iPhone 12 to a 14. The actual changes between the two seem very subtle (14 seems slightly thicker) and I would be disappointed if I had had to do a full price upgrade. But this will be my 4th iPhone now after being an avid Android user, and I just like the simplicity of the iOS infrastructure.

Great to hear. I'm using the Samsung A32 5G for work. 720p screen, kinda slow/sluggish to be fair, but it does do the job for the most part.

Received the Xiaomi 12T after like 2 days which was amazingly quick and by DPD which was great.

Liking it a lot and with the £100 off vouchers and cashback it's a great deal for a upper mid-range phone for the next few years!
