Best premium simfree android phone

tw0nk

Hi All,

On HTC One M7 for last 2 years, fancy a change now and I don't want to sign up to another 24 month contract.

My thought right now is Oneplus one 64GB for ~330 euro, but Im wondering before I buy is there anything else I should be considering? The Oneplus one is high-end for the price and having played with one for a while I'm a fan but I don't know about other similarly priced premium android phones.

Xiaomi Mi Note. Its not close to the OPO IMO, and it'd be my second choice

thanks DS, yeah I prefer the OPO compared to that, the OPO is a serious looking phone

Is M7 to One Plus One really that big an upgrade to justify it? (I'm asking as an M7 owner)

The Note 4 is about the best there is at the moment if its not too big for you.

OPO has better camera and much bigger battery. Depending on what you can sell the M7 for, probably not

I have an M7 for work I have a opo for play. The opo crushes it.

No contest for me. I got the opo having mashed my other m6 black edition.

No turning back

For 300 bucks though, I wouldn't say it's worth the upgrade unless you're pulling almost €200 if not more for the M7. I haven't a clue what they're worth second hand though

For 299, the 1+1 is pretty much unbeatable. You can get á huawei honour 6 for the same price on aliexpress, but the only reason would be screen size.

Find 7 QHD.

Screen of a 27" retina iMac, in a 5" package :pac: VOOC charging(0-70% in 30 mins).

LG are also making great phones these days.

The LG G3 is €350 and the LG G2 is €270. I'd also consider both of these op.

I've never seen the g2 for 270? I've seen it on Amazon uk for 270 pounds, where do you source it for that price?

Edit, seems to have gone back to €300 but easily found for 270.

I went from an M7 to OPO, the difference is massive IMO - Battery, Camera, Speed, and reliability are miles better

I bought the OPO on Tuesday, eagerly awaiting delivery now It still says processing

I picked up an LG G2 from Amazon Warehouse deals last week for €195, scruffy box but phone still had all original protectors on and had never been used. Upgraded from a Nexus 5, much prefer this. Keep an eye on Amazon.

Did the phone look like it had ever come out of the box? I wouldn't be worried about a scuffed box as long as the phone itself was scratch free.

Nope, phone and accessories were all in original wrapping/screen protectors.
