QOTW: Which smartphone will you buy next?

[philehidiot]

market for responsive, small, ideally cheap productivity / browsing machines - the netbook fad a while back demonstrated that, it's just they were a little too meh. Get that package with more modern designs, flagship phone responsiveness, fast storage and always on internet and people will lap it up. A lot of people on here might not find it appealing but

That's part of one of my posts from a while back... what benefit does a spambot get for doing that? Competition entries?

My cheapo Wileyfox is still doing a better job than my previous high end Moto so no, no plans and when I do I just don't see the point in going high end anymore. Budget (~£100) does everything you need nowadays unless you need a really high end camera or want to do high end gaming (Yuk - give me physical controls).

My OnePlus One is still going but getting a bit temperamental in it's old age (don't we all). Not sure what to get next, keep looking at the Nokia 7 Plus and Pocophone F1 but no decision yet. Don't want to pay more than £300-£350 and don't really want it to be bigger than the OnePlus One, I've only got small pockets!

Can only get mine to pause after the shot with HDR on, that could be the culprit.

(just continuing with the mild of topic conversation )

been out 'n about to the beach today, taking many photos with camera and wondering what wifi hotspots were. so I could get some free chocolate.

tested a few different modes on camera. seems to be the HDR causing it to go wonky. it crashed with HDR on in 3 diffent apps. and its the default installed app that causes phone lockup and battery drain, the other apps just asked 'you wanna reload'.

thanks for pointing me towards the HDR setting for the cause. ill just leave that off till they fix it. phones nearly fine with it turned off.
nearly fine, as in, in sunlight you cant see the screen very well.


anywho.. back to topic.

I will almost for sure go for the new Samsung Galaxy S10.

I've been buying Samsung since the Galaxy S4, and got the S6 Edge, S7, and now S8+

I have no plans to change until my current s7 stops working or becomes too slow and when that happens I will go for one of the previous year's flagship models, SIM free, unlocked.

No idea which one I'll buy yet, obviously, as it's so far away.... but I want one with curved screens front and back, both with notches top and bottom, ideally down both sides as well... and also the new hole punches, I want some of those.... and RGB, with 'water' cooling like Linus showed us.... and gaming. I want gaming on my phone. No headphone socket though, not just no 3.5mm but none at all, and no SD card expansion... and a weirdly shaped proprietary charger plug... and FreeSync, just because it's cool and sticks it to Nvidia... and it must come with a hands free bluetooth headset, but not actually have bluetooth capability on the phone... and it must flip and flex at the same time... and be an Apple product.

Yeah, I think that just about covers everything, doesn't it?

You forgot 'thin as a credit card'.

Tack it on to the list...

5 inch with a half decent camera.
Battery life would be nice
Sony compacts catch my eye but I'll only spend 150 on a phone.

Waiting till the wiley fox swift2+ breaks on me.
