  • New Phone Time

    Looks like I'm due a renewal from now to September I can upgrade/renew.

    Had a HTC one X and a HD Desire HD for the last phones and they are good, but want to try something different this time.

    Maybe even an iPhone but as a last resort really. Whats good these days?

    I want a better camera then what I have currently, and better batt life and computing power be nice, but tbh I dont use a lot of features - mostly tapatalk and banking stuff.

    I'm in the same situation and I'm seriously considering the M8 HTC one.

      I've not looked yet really as some I saw in mag didnt seem that decent.

      my HTC's have been fine although a bit of a pain with my Wifi - but probably my router(s) I have had been Dlink. Just not sure whats the latest flagship of each atm.

      Will look at the M8 now.

        Sony experia
        HTC one (M8)
        Nexus 5
        Galaxy S5

        They seem to be the ones about att he moment. They've all had pretty good reviews, have a read and see which one suits you best.

        I have the nexus 5 and my experience is good. No bloatware from manufacturers, a battery that will last all day (6am - 10pm) with moderate use in work - calls/texts/internet/music/videos. 2 days if it's only being used as a phone.
        Screen is a bit too big for my liking, I like to be able to touch the whole screen without having to adjust the way I hold it. It's comfortable to hold though, it isn't too heavy and the rubbery back means you have some grip.

          Isn’t the Nexus a Nokia now Microsoft phone?

          I don’t mind a big screen as HTC's are quite big.

          My main thing is browsing, touchscreen/interface/general using response, camera, battery life been realistic, good satnav be useful also.

              I got my daughter the Nokia lumia 625. Now updated to the 630. Tbh it's great. Massive screen for its price, bright in daylight too. Good camera. This is the budget end, if your looking for something higher up they have the 900 lot.

              Don't discount windows phones. Lol.

                I was in a similar situation last month and ended up going for the Samsung Galaxy S5

                Each have their pros and cons but the S5 had the best camera, and it's water resistant so they were big points for me.
                New Samsung phone rumour for Autumn though....

                  I probably wont bother with the windows phones even though the menu's and interface seem way nicer then most, its the lack of dev /apps for it that puts me off.

                    The samsung has a better (MP) camera, but its plastic and has - factory not realworld 100 hours less battery life).

                    I really liked having a metal phone (first HTC). but going to have to see about the camera on the HTC as thats its weakness so far.

                        Yeah you can't remove the battery from the new Xperia arc either.

                        The HTC M8 has one of the worst cameras from the new flagship phones IMO but feels the best to hold. Stereo speakers are nice as well if you play music without headphones in

                          If it's better then current HTC camera will do. Ill get a real camera one day as take loads of the baby.

                          I don't mind not taking it out if it lasts over a day from new.

                          Think metal got me swayed and higher HTC stand by battery life. Did fancy a change but looks to not be happening again lol.
