Upgrading Mobiles

Hi All,


I must admit over the past year or two I have not kept abreast of what the best mobiles are or what the most up to date is.


I currently have a Sony z3 Compact. The battery life has depleted and the phone has become a little worn, 02 are offering me the chance to upgrade - what is a good option to move onto?


Thanks in advance.

    best option is to NEVER pay for the new phone in contract, buy it right out and transfer the number (with number, with PAC) to desired usage SIM only

    If you like the z3 compact check the z5 compact, essentially the same with some nice additions e.g. finger print sensor. I made the move and I'm very happy with the z5c.

    Edit, agree with the above, generally better to buy the phone outright

    Last contract was around £35 per month for 24 months that included the phone and unlimited texts per month, 250 mins and 3GB.
