    Well,

    Smashed the screen on my Samusung S7 Edge and im now looking to replace..

    I'm concerned to leave the Samsung range as the 7 Edge has never let me down..

    Looking for opinions, budget isn't really an issue but want really good value for money, reliability and decent specs are key. Don't usually game, mostly snap, Facebook & Insta..

    I'm also clumsy so something robust..

    What are people opinions...?

    Xiaomi Note Mi 10 Pro
    Realme X2 Pro

    Also..

    Oneplus 7 Pro
    Samsung S10 plus
    Redmi K20 Pro

    Thanks a million!!!!

    camera is a lot better on the mi note 10 as is battery

    cpu better on realme

    mi note 10 non-pro has the same camera just 6gb ram and 128gb storage afaik and is < 400 on eglobal

    if you don't use the camera much then maybe get the realme

    as regards durability, no non-rugged phone like these options is designed to be dropped

    get a silicone case at least if you are a dropper.

    actually the non-pro also has a very small camera difference in one lens but doesn't seem to make a difference in reality

    Mi note 10 I own is a great bit of kit
    Camera is superb,phone is Uber reliable, processor is mid range +ok for gaming but not lightning fast ,I use it for Twitter, Netflix, Disney+ etc ,
    Battery is a day + easyyyyyy
    Big phone glass back so definitely need a back cover,rugged one I got for e12 is good

    Ref eglobal I personally would not go near them, left me down badly, check them out on trust pilot etc, good for some folk dire for more, good luck with your search

    I've used eglobal several times with no issue.

    obviously some people have had delays

    they usually have the best price for phones so that's why people use them. If you assume / are happy with 2 weeks delivery you will usually be ok

    Aliexpress provide no warranty after 15 days of delivery date so would avoid.

    also customs likely to be an issue with Aliexpress unless shipping from Europe.

    honorbuy are a good option -> a bit of a price premium over eglobal but deliver quick where eu warehouse is supported

    I’ve a thread with some overlapping options which might help .

    If a camera is high up on your list, the Mi Note 10 or P30 Pro is the way to go.

    Another option would be the Mi 10 . If you don't need dual sim, it would be the one I would go for.
