This mobile is TOO expensive for me, but...........

Options
I thought and still do, think my Samsung A5 mobile takes brilliant photo's. Of late though, I've seen examples of photo's from the S9+.

Wow, simply stunning and I am SO envious, so googled and discovered a price tag of £869 for the S9+ or £739 for the S9. Quite out of my league.

Maybe you have a mobile with a camera that takes better than average photo's, if so, maybe you might like to share?

    Microsoft Lumia 950 still a great choice for photographs with 20MP camera, HDR etc. YOu should get a tip-top example for about £225 from t'Bay.

    Only if you don't mind having a phone with an outdated OS.
  • That's the trade-off, or you pay the £500 more

    Several online places have the S8 on a two year contract for £23 a month. That works our at about £260 for the phone that would have cost you about £600 a year ago.
    But wait until black Friday deals in November and you may do better.

    My daughter got the Huawei P10 (specifications) late last year. She uses it as her main camera and her photos look great.

    The Huawei P20 Pro (specifications) is the latest version I think.

    £800 for a phone is crazy money!


    How much it would cost for a decent camera and a cheap smartphone off eBay...? Would that result in money saved and EVEN BETTER photo quality...?

    What about a Nokia 8, latest android and 2 cracking lenses front and rear.
    Old Faithful we roam the range together,
    Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
    When the round up days are over,
    And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
    For you old faithful pal of mine.
