    Well fellows.

    I am due an upgrade on the auld mobile soon and was wondering what is currently out or coming soon that I should consider?

    I currently have a Z3c, which I really like but in the last while I've been feeling like a bigger better screen would be nice.

    I'm definitely sticking with android and would be looking at high end flagships.

    So far I've been looking at the likes of the P9, HTC 10, S7/S7 Edge, Xperia X and the OnePlus 3.


    I've pretty much ruled out the Xperia X and the P9 because their CPU's seem under powered already.

    So right now it's a shootout between the Galaxy's (either one), the HTC and the OP3.

    Pro's and cons for them so far.

    Samsung and HTC pros, initial cost will be low as I can get them as a contract upgrade. cons, 2 year contract commitment.

    OP3 pros, no contract, cheaper monthly bills, more freedom. cons, higher initial outlay.

    What do you lot recommend, or should I consider holding out for another phone that is due for release soon, if there's anything nice coming down the pipes?

    Ill be watching this thread with interest as Im in exactly the same boat.
    I can get the Htc 10 or the S7 edge for €49.00 with a 2 year contract.
    P9 is free.

    But Im like you OP so many decent phones around now at the right prices that its hard to make a decision.

    Personally Im leaning towards the s7 edge for the bigger screen but the HTC is a nice phone aswell. Ive ruled out the p9 aswell (currently have a p8 and love it )

    Decisions ,decisions!!!

    Samsung Note 7 being released in next couple of weeks. Read some reviews from testers who say it's the best phone released this year and Samsungs best ever .

    The NOTE might be a bit big for my liking, but I'll definitely consider it.
