If you do have the money for it, the OnePlus 7 Pro is the best phone out there right now.

New Pixels are also out next month though and they look promising.

Thanks would the oneplus7 be superior to the 9t as mentioned above? Also if anyone knows the the Huawei p30 is it good or would either of the other phone I mentioned be just as good ?

Even as a big OP fan I don't think the OP7 is worth the extra over the 9T. Nearly 250 in the difference...camera on the 9T looks better too

Asus 6Z

it has a 6.39-inch full-view display with a Full HD+ resolution. powered by Qualcomm 2019 most powerful Snapdragon 855 processor.

This phone comes in 2 variants 6 GB with 64 GB and 128 GB memory storage and 8 GB with 256 GB memory storage.

This Asus 6Z holds a unique flip camera design with the rear and front camera being same and which flips out from rear when you take a selfie from the camera app so both the front and rear camera share same sensors. We get a 48 MP Sony IMX586 primary sensor and a 13MP wide angle sensor. The camera performance as expected in a true flagship as it captures unimaginable details in the photo.

the Mi 9t non-pro version is all the phone you need. it's still very quick as the 730 cpu is very good. you would not notice the difference at all in normal usage. 100$ cheaper. only if you plan on playing the most intensive games at high fps would I recommend the mi 9t pro really.

mi 9t is the best value upper mid-range phone at the moment at under €300

eglobalcentral.eu if you can wait 10 to 12 days for cheapest price

honorbuy for 2 to 3 biz days delivery.

both sites post through Europe so no customs issues.

Tell me how

I bought a Cubot A5. 3 gig ram, 32Gig memory, fully networked unlocked, Dual SIM. Bought online for €119.

It crashed 2 months later and reinstalling operating system twice still wasn't sufficient in recovering it.

Just a warning to stay away.

Am I right in saying that a micro SD is not possible with this phone?!

Yup.

What a pity. Looks like a great phone for the price but, for anyone that flies a lot or likes to watch videos they've downloaded, the lack of micro sd is a problem.

If you want good battery life then I can recommend the Moto G7 Power, I can get 3 days without charging no problem.

OP no need to spend that massive amount of cash on a phone

go with a Xiaomi, they are the best bang for buck phones around at the moment

user Invincible posted the "Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro" on Honorbuy as the 2nd post, this is a great phone and one I would buy if I was looking for a new handset

You could always use a Type-C OSG cable and a USB thumb/pen drive. I believe the trick is to format the usb drive using your phone and then it should be good to go. Should be a cheap enough solution, plus potentially not something you'd need to do too often (depending on personal circumstances).

Anyhow just a suggestion that could be a workable solution for some.

Sorry for the hijack.

Up in the shops here.

Would you get a plain P30 or the P20 Pro?
Or OnePlus 7 (not pro)
Cheers

I'd be concerned about Huawei and them being locked out of google. I heard they're going to offer a way to sideload Google apps as a way around it.

OnePlus 7 is a great phone. I'd be going Xiaomi if I could buy online. I've the Poco phone F1 from last year, and it's still great. Saying that, a mate in work has a Redmi K20 pro, and the screen is lovely.

Thanks ye, I was on the spot.
Ended up with the OnePlus 7.

Seems a good choice.
