    You can pick up the Moto G6 for under £220, or if you don't mind a little bigger screen (5.9" vs the 5.7" of the G6), you can pick up the Moto G6 Plus for under £270. Or you can pick up the Nokia 8 for around £300, which has last years flagship processor in it.

    Disagree. It’s very good advice.

    If you seriously believe that any 'second hand iPhone for under £300' will 'blow any Android phone out of the water' then you need to stop doing drugs because it's not doing you any favours

    It's a shame. Fandroids ruin everything.

    I've read a few more reviews and there are a number of places which say the G6 Plus is a good phone but as mentioned above, the issues I've had with my G4 make me somewhat reluctant! I haven't read much about the Nokia 8 but I'll seek some reviews out.


    As for the iPhone, I think there are probably better ways to spent my £300.

    You know that trolling isn't allowed on the forum right?

    You are trolling I hope.
    Just ignore its an obvious fishing attempt and you are just biting and allowing them to make the thread boring and pointless.

    How does suggesting a better alternative ‘make the thread boring and pointless’?

    I’m trying to help the OP. A second hand iPhone from 2 years ago will be a lot better than a new £300 android phone.

    To be fair, it's not the most exciting of questions!

    Only in your opinion.

    Since the OP has an Android phone, I would suggest (only in my opinion :)) that they would feel more comfortable with another Android phone rather than having to learn the vagaries of a different operating system.

    I used to have an iPhone and couldn't really get my head round why everyone thought they were so wonderful - it's a phone for fork's sake.


    I've now had Android for about 4 (?) years - Mrs has an iPhone and I still struggle to understand how to make it work sensibly.


    Ho hum :D
