What phone are you using? (Late 2018 Edition)

iPhone 7.

Considering an XR but concerned that:

  • It will be too big (I think the 7 is more than large enogh - I dont want a bigger phone)
  • I will miss force-touch

iPhone X here, am able to upgrade in Feb, but will probably hold off until the next round of iPhones.

iPhone XS :slight_smile:

XS Max.

Great for holding it in 2 hands, on the sofa, browsing, playing games or taking photos.

Too big and heavy for one handed use - The X (or XS) is the perfect size IMO!

Pixel 3 XL, 128gb Just Black here.

iPhone 7 here, but the battery is about done.

Trying to decide between buying an X or XS.

Can get £160 from apple for my 7 towards the cost of the XS…

If you’re happy with the form factor then X is a good option from a cost point of view.

Yeah, there’s that.

It’s more for the camera that i’m considering the XS, plus do get a minor work discount with Apple (think there’s £20 difference in the end between it and the X)

Have you looked at the XR? It’s meant to be pretty good in terms of features/price-point.

I have, but I actually use 3D touch… don’t think I could let that go :wink:

My phone is up for renewal early next year, currently using an iPhone X. By far the best phone I have owned!

There is one issue, I love Apple but the Pixel 3 and Samsung S9 have caught my eye. Is it worth changing to android?

Other alternatives are going sim only so I can reduce monthly payments by a vast amount!

The XR doesn’t have 3D touch.

Despite his best efforts @anon61087081 was the only person to ever actually use it! :joy:

I’m stuck with a moto E5 plus after my Huawei P10 plus was taken when I got mugged.

That being said the massive 5000mah battery on this device has been amazing, upgrade due in April and still deciding what I’ll go for.

I’ve got the Moto G6 Play which I think is a very decent phone for £149.

I use it too in the control-centre, on the button to clear notifications as well as on the settings app to quickly bring up mobile network settings if I need to switch networks manually.

iPhone XS Max. I still don’t feel comfortable carrying such an expensive phone around with me. Especially when there are much cheaper and equally functional alternatives. The galaxy note 9 looks delicious. First world problem!

Nokia 8. Also have a Nokia 1 as a secondary phone. Two Moto’s have failed on me this year.

I wonder if I’ll regret buying the Nokia 8 as time goes on but I guess we’ll see. I prefer to buy my phone’s outright and have SIM only. Currently with Giffgaff although they are very self righteous on their community.

I also buy my phones outright and use Plusnet on their £5 per month plan. Suits me. R-

I’ve had some slowdowns and some issues where the fingerprint sensor wasn’t as responsive over time.
I actually performed a factory reset a few weeks ago and things have definitely improved. Fingerprint sensor works 99% of the time unless it’s wet or dirty!

One issue I have had more recently is that greys have caused some flickering. I’m also experiencing lots of flicker with always on display and night mode.
Might contact Google to make them aware, but not fussed about replacing unless it becomes an issue later on.
Do/did you have any flickering in night mode when the always on display shows @simonb or @nexusmaniac (when you had the 2 XL)?
