Recommendation for phone

sillygoose

I just got a new unused (unwanted insurance replacement) 64GB S6 Edge for £250, I don't expect it run out of space soon. Its gorgeous! and it may be 2 generations behind but its still ahead of an iphone 8 on spec.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

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.

Which phone company is this with?

Where did you buy this?

I seem to recall one of the Galaxy models was prone to bursting into flames. Does anyone know which model?

VERY carefully! on Ebay by biding my time and waiting for a good seller and item. After damaging their old S6 in water the seller had already upgraded to the more waterproof S7!

Funnily enough I had bid on another new one but got outbid, I got a second chance offer as the higher bidder had dropped out but I had already bought elsewhere. Just don't pay silly money, £250 is a good price for a new one. If the price goes over look again.

There are plenty of companies selling refurbished ones but they make up their own grading systems so I avoided.

Plenty of private sellers have insurance replacements or unwanted upgrade phones provided under their contract when they have already switch network or bought the latest phone instead.

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?

Isn’t it the s6 that does not have a slot for a sd card? Go for s7 or s8 if you want a Samsung. Sony x or XZ are decent too.

Get a moto G4 end of , cheap and it works. If you are worried about street cred get a iPhoneX or an S8. The amount of time spent on this thread will pay you back in euros
