I mean a grand seems an awful lot of money for a phone - admittedly I tend to go for low/mid range android phones because I just do not need my phone to do much more than make calls, do texts, surf the web n read books on.
But would spending this level of money completely change my point of view?Comment

Also, is stock Android necessarily a plus?
Originally posted by DeludedKitten View PostUnless it's desperate I'd leave it a few weeks - oneplus 6t is due out around October 14 so prices of used 5/5T/6 should drop.
I suspect I'll ditch the 3T and move to 6T when it comes out - no more fingerprint sensor on the body as it moves to becoming in screen tech. But there won't be a headphone socket
One thing I've seen becoming more common is waterproof capabilities. I'm pretty sure I never owned a phone with ANY rating here and it would be neat.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

New tech includes the in-screen fingerprint reader so there's no physical button to use, and maybe more.
1+ classes the 6 as waterproof but it has no official rating. I'd guess it's splash proof but not much more. Maybe the 6T will have it.
If you want the 6 then I think that you'll see the website having them out of stock from the start of next month (which is what they did with previous models) though you might be able to pick one up at O2 or somewhere like that still.I'm not fat, I'm just fluffy.Comment

I read they claimed 59% "own wireless headphones" which a)is hardly a big majority b)isn't the same as "prefer wireless headphones"... I'm pretty sure I own some and they live in a drawer because they're crap!Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Just a quick reply to the point about vanilla Android. I prefer the basic Android as per the lamented Nexus 5 that I had. If I want to bloat my Android installation, I prefer to do so with apps of my choosing not the phone company's. Nokia 6 has Android One, which fits my needs perfectly.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Interesting - just the thing I am in the market for - looks like the Nokia 6 (or even 6.1 apparently) is the way to go at just under £200.
I was looking at the Honor 9 lite but it maybe a bit flimsy...Comment

Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostWell, it kind of depends. The died in the wool fanbois will no doubt buy Apple no matter the price. But when I can get perhaps four of my really very good Nokia Android phones for the price of one Apple device, I can't help feeling something is a little out of balance here. I can think of nothing the Nokia 6 (or the slightly pricier 8) doesn't do. Why on earth I would shell a thousand quid on a mobile phone is beyond my comprehension I'm afraid to say.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
