    Xiaomi if you looking for good value for money.
    What is your budget?

    Agreed. I've recently bought a Poco (Xiaomi) X3 NFC. Probably over budget at £199 direct from Xiaomi U.K. delivered (128Gb version). The 64Gb version can be had for around £180 or less. An excellent phone. Except for the different display type, easily on a par with my Samsung A71.There was a pair of Mi Lite wireless earbuds thrown in too "free".

  • What do you. Ran ‘different display type’?

    Look at the reviews for the Oppo A9. They were on Amazon for £150 new earlier in the month.

    If you had asked me last month I would have said Samsung also... BUT!!!  setting up a M31s and the things a
    nightmare...  Notifications going off at all hours even though I thought they were all disabled.

    Global Goals at 2am, went through all the apps and system apps and turned off ALL notifications and yet the
    following day 6am Device Care waking me up with something about virus protection...

    Into notifications yet again and some system apps were not showing and some were now enabled again.
    Seems Samsung are pushing adverts and more bloat onto the cheaper phones.  I think this may
    not affect the top end phones as much but its making me think the next phone wont be a Samsung.

    If that's referring to my post, then FHD LCD(Poco) compared to AMOLED.
    Your wording makes no sense though!

    So I've used the 'which phone for my budget tool' and on a fairly low budget it has recommended a range of phones - Samsung A series, Motorola, Sony Xperia, Huawei... 
    We used to have Samsung and then switched to Moto G4 and have stayed with the Moto evolutions ever since - can't see any reason to switch back.

    I agree, it does limit the choice more than somewhat though!
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
