Deffo the Mi Mix 2S. Gorgeous phone. Awesome specs

Mate, most phones have expandable memory. I think €400 is erring on the side of optomistic. But at least you get those free air buds.

Yeah going for the S10

Hoping unlike the last time i dont have too give the phone back as my S8 had a fault in it where the screen used too stop working and could not type anything on the keypad

I'm a stickler for buying battery cases which add weight and take the look off the phone. There handy esp when I'm travelling around but hoping the battery is good enough in the s10 I won't need one of these cases and can buy a good nice stylish case

I think three sell them but I'm sure they are cheaper elsewhere if that is the case

Due an upgrade on three and leaning towards the S10 which will cost me €400 and then €45 a month for my usual bill

If i was to move too prepay the phone would cost me €860 and if i want too keep the unlimited data I would have too top up my €20 each month

I have a huge sd card full of important stuff too me and not many phones take expandable storage so that rules out a few good Chinese phones or other similar brands

U get a pair of the new galaxy buds if u pre order

I got the One Plus Three the week after release. Still going strong.

I have the one plus 3t I'm starting to have issues but it's been a monster phone I'm a heavy phone user and it has taken it in its stride.

I need a replacement but I'd love one with a headphone jack.

I have an S8 (contract) for about 8 months now. Really like it. Don't find any issues with the battery life tbh, and I'd be a heavy phone user.

That said, no f'n way am I paying those prices for a new Samsung when my upgrade is due.

ive always been that unlucky guy whatever can go wrong with a phone will happen me.

ive seen people pay 200-300 on bill for newer phones which is crazy money considering you probaley 60 for the bill after that.

erg89 i wouldnt be the best guy to look but if you go to the android forum on here and look through the threads youll get a good feel of whats good but i thought the poccofone looks good id wait for the newer version to come out which i think is soon enough

I'm using a Xiaomi, it's pretty solid. Gets fairly heavy use cause I play a lot of Pokémon Go.

the s9 display never blew me away like it had significant upgrade on the screen. i was a heavy user and the s8 needed constant charging and at times i just had to not use it which killed me.

The Chinese manufactures really seem to be upping the game looking forward to them hopefully becoming more easy to get as im always wary of going to any of the sites cause im paranoid i wont get the phone

Three are currently selling Xiaomi phones.

Their Mi Mix 2S blows the Samsung stuff out of the water. They've been killing it for years on the tech front, the big names are only catching up now.

I couldn't believe it when comparing the specs of the Mi A1 to the S9 - virtually the same, except the A1 has a larger battery, dual camera array, better processor, etc. Battery is absolute animal on the A1, it lasts me all day long, and i'd consider myself a power user. Seems the only thing the S9 has over it is the display. And the fact it's 3 times the price

i had the s6 and the s8 but honestly found the batterys to be so poor just after 6 months they didnt perform at all.

always resisted the iphone but got a free XR through work and impressed so far since the last iphone i had was the iphone 4

Granted i more than likely would not pay the price myself for it

So the latest Samsung phones have been announced. For CRAZY money.

I can't figure out how, you can get a much better product, from the likes of Xiaomi, for half the price, yet Samsung continue to raise their prices. Even their "budget" offering is huge money.

I was looking at the S9 the other day, and was surprised to see it only had 4gb of RAM - jesus, my Mi A1 that cost me about €200 has that.

I even seen some articles claim that the 4,000mAh battery in the S10+ is the largest ever battery in a phone. Eh, excuse me? No it's fúcking not.

I suppose when people are tripping over one another to get these Samsung phones, they can continue to charge whatever they want. I had several Samsung devices in the past, but hell, there's no way i'd part with THAT kinda money for a fancy screen, with internals that are dated, and have been used to better effect in much cheaper phones

Both albums are on Spotify, also finding out that Kiefer Sutherland also dabbles in music as well. I didn't know that.

Fortress is a beast from beginning to end really. So many absolute bangers on it.

Agreed, it's one of those albums I can listen to all the way through. Quick Google shows the album will be 6 years old in September.

Also the title track alone is magnificent.

For me it goes as follows.

1. Fortress
2. ABIII
3. The Last Hero
4. One Day Remains
5. Blackbird

Now if it were 5 favourite songs, that'd be quiet a challenge.

Mr.Nice Guy

What are your top 5 Alter Bridge studio albums? I'd say...

1. Fortress
2. One Day Remains
3. AB III
4. Blackbird
5. The Last Hero

Alter Bridge heading into the studio next month to start putting down Album #6.

And they are aiming for an October release according to Mark

Yeah. I think the plan is to have it out this fall. I think maybe October is kind of the target.
