Recommendation for phone

Annie1960

I currently use a Galaxy S4 16 gb which is about 4 years old. It no longer meets my needs as it doesn't have enough memory for the apps I want. I have transferred as many as I can to an sd card, but much of the stuff on there can't be moved.

I am therefore looking for recommendations for my next phone. I would like a Galaxy as I know how to use and don't want to have to spend time learning a new brand from scratch. I need more than 16 gb, but don't know how many fixed apps are in 32gb phones. They seem to fill up a lot of the memory with stuff I don't want.

I would rather not pay for the latest model. In the S6 OK? If I got a 32 gb S6, how much memory would be empty? Any other suggestions?

You will have about 23gb of storage left on an S6.

The S6 also has 3gb of ram which is the minimum you should aim for in a replacement phone nowadays to avoid any lag.

How much do you want to spend?

I have just changed my S6 edge+ for a Huawei P10 Lite - brilliant in all respects.

As much as I need to get what I want, but no more than necessary so I won't be getting the latest model.

My S6 has 6.72GB system used, and 16.19GB free space.

Thats after a year of use, mostly banking and mapping software.

Personally won't go for a phone 2 gen before...

However, I only use £200 phone these day, high end may be different?

I got the S6 for just under £20 a month with unl minutes and texts and 4GB data.

OK thats over £450 over 2 years but when taking the calls and texts into account, approx half is the phone and half is the usage. Seemed like a good deal to me. To buy the handset last year would have been much more.

S6 doesn't accept SD cards ... I'd go for an S7. It's last years model but is still very good.

So what's happened to the rest of it, assuming 32GB?

I would expect to buy the phone on its own and use a separate sim card, as I think it's usually cheaper that way.

Your deal seems really good - where did you get it?

The rest is used by my apps and pictures files etc.

So still 16GB free. The 6.72GB system is just the basic system and cache files.

Its usually cheaper for SIM only but not in this case it seems, considering this was over a year ago now £19 a month seemed a good price.

Whats the cheapest unl min and txt and 4GB data £12 ish?
