THE SMARTPHONE THREAD

[Greens]

That your main phone?

Would only put a beta on a spare, can be so unstable.

[dub]

yeah main phone, not a great idea, but I got curious

[Supermalt]

Can't wait for this contract to end. S7 asap

[Restrictive]

Like to cop phones outright, but dont fancy paying £500+ right now

[Greens]

Last 3 phones I've bought offline

[Greens]

Make sure it's unlocked to all networks, and throw away the box/receipt when you inevitably get pulled by customs on the way back.

wil it make a difference if i buy this phone in NEW YORK

what are the pitfalls ?

Depends it might not have all the network bands you need, meaning you might not get 3G/4G signal.

What network you on? Check what bands they operate on and compare it to the version your buying.

Is the S7 edge worth the extra £70? because from what i'm looking at the 5.1 inch screen on the S7 is sufficient for me (coming from an S5 mini) and i'm not really gassed on the whole edge hype.

[Francis Coquelin]

G5 is getting shitted on in the reviews. Disappointing.

[Da Luv Doc]

lol

looks like the cross between a Nexus and Galaxy

[Simply D]

S7 ordered...should be "here" tomorrow. 

Mugged myself off though, put my home address in for delivery instead of work now imma be greeted with a "sorry we missed you" card

 

[Rsonist]

Upgrading tomorrow

Nexus 6p or S7 lads?

[Monday Bandele]

s7 easily

[Simply D]

Got the S7, wheres a good place to get a proper screen protector (not a pound land special), not sure I'm going to be able to get a bumper case cos of the Edge jazz

[Simply D]

Cant believe Samsung did the EU like that....apparently the hardware is in the US phones though

Why do you need a fm radio bro?

Due for my upgrade. 

 

Don't want an iPhone. 

 

What's the best and latest htc or Samsung? And is anything coming out in the next couple of months worth waiting for?
