    Hi all

    Looking a new phone.
    I hate/love buying a new phone but the hate part is always wanting the best.

    Will be buying sim free.
    Budget for the minute is 400-600.

    Was looking at a oneplus 6t or a p20 Pro.

    P30 is probably out around March as with the S10 so I could probably hold out.
    Problem is I want/need one now :)

    Could always get one now and sell in March and put the proceeds to an S10/P30

    Know the specs etc. The P20 Pro I was a bit put off with the processor.

    Thing is I know I won't be a heavy user!!

    Any thoughts from you knowledgeable folk.

    Rarely post in here but read the forum daily!

    Thanks

    Pete

    What are the main things that are important to you? Phones are generally so good these days, the differences between them are negligible.

    Either of the phones you suggested would be good buys.

    Usual, good battery, performance,design (do like a nice phone!).

    Use my phone a lot for work so two or three diff. apps. open at a time etc.

    Decent camera but doesn't have to be amazing.

    Suppose I needed my thought process out of my head :)

    Have you looked at the poco f1.should meet all your requirements and have some change

    I'd pay the extra for the OnePlus over the Poco for the software.
