    Samsung currently offering £60 - £80 cashback if bought this month.   (thanks Cisco001 for that info)
    They have only recently released the A51/71 range and already have the S20 range on release now
    or already released?

    From last nights full charge wich dropped 5% installing the battery app, 15 hours later after approx
    20 minutes on the news app (spread over 4 or 5 sessions) and a 20 minute phone call its now at
    47%.

    How accurate is the app? Says the battery used is just 560mAh, So my 2550mAh battery is now
    approx half that.

    The A71 and the A90 5G are approx £400 with discounts of around £80, bringing it down
    to nearer the £300 mark.

    Finding contract deals that oddly work out cheaper than buying outright. And some of the
    contract deals still mention getting the samsung cashback on top.

    Well S2, S4, S6 for me. S4mini, A8 for the other half and S2, A3, A8 for the little one.

    Only issue we have ever had was the S4 supplied with a swollen battery which was quickly
    replaced for free, faulty batch.

    This is why I am keen on another Samsung, but I wont be paying £1000 for a phone and the
    thought of £400 makes me wonder do I really need to spend that much? 

    S6 Cost around £250 I think?  S7 had been released when I bought it so discounted.

    Seen the A10e for £30 more than the A71/A90. With wireless charging and a smaller screen
    but loses the high speed video i think? Although the Samsung site shows the A71 as just
    1080@240fps not the 1080@960fps quoted elsewhere.
