However ,poor reviews of the version here ,with the Exynos chip has put me off! Next I wanted the Mi 10 but it turns out that the European model is only a single sim . So I have abandoned that idea. So after some research , I have narrowed down 4 options. My main requirements is dual sim, good camera & GPS, good voice recorder. Which of these would ye recommend ? . They are all similar enough in price apart from the Mi Note 10 which looks a bargain from Eglobal. Samsung S10 P30 pro Mi Note 10 One plus 7t

Having had Samsung they are robust as anything but for value there is better out there. It would also make the transition simpler with a Samsung account- things like Samsung notes , call logs etc would come across One plus 7 pro - decent phone but too much feedback about the camera being weak has shelved it. So its between the P30 pro & Mi Note 10 . Still undecided Both have high end camera /video (which is important to me ). Not sure if there is much between them. Another poster linked the p30 pro for £429. They were huge money when they came out so big drop. Sorely tempted to pull the trigger on it .

Not much by the sounds of it, so it's either a compromise or last year's flagships. The S10 being the standout. P30? Not bothered about Google then huh? Get the 1+8.

The oneplus 7t sounds like it has a better screen, more powerful and a better UI. But the p30 pro seems to have a much better camera, battery life and is water proof. Tough to decide between the two.

They have fallen way back, particularly in terms of value. They make decent camera sensors but the software side of the camera is more important these days and they are miles behind in terms of phone camera software and indeed phone software in general.
