You didnt get it for free my man... compare your current plan to their sim only p/m and then you’ll know what youre paying for the phone monthly and over the term of the plan.

Honestly used to think that too, then when something goes wrong, you’re tied to the network. I Remember the last phone I got on contract was aniPhone, and it worked out I would end up paying a few hundred more over the term of the contract than if I bought the phone outright direct from Apple. Anyway, Different strokes and all that.

Tenner a month with 48 for everything, so effectively you've spent €720 on the phone

Been using Xiaomi phones for the last 2 and a half years. Currently have the Redmi note8. Very similar to Samsung but a fraction of the price. Sim free from around €150. Have a look on eglobalcentral.eu

Back using the iPhone for the first time in about 7 years and it's just a far better phone to any Android ones I've used (Samsung, One Plus, Xioami, HTC, etc). Bought it refurbished from these guys in Maynooth and the phone was excellent. Have been using it for about 6 months now and no issues:


You get fairly new phones at nearly half the price from them. Might be worth considering Sham when looking for your next one

The buzz of smart phones is gone imo, when they first came out they were great. And as the years went one new stuff was added. But now its the same old same old. Camera a little better, battery a little better than before.

Good battery and good camera quality and big memory are the things you need

Have the OnePlus 5 for last 2.5 years after reading the recommendation on here. Still working superbly, though the battery is beginning to drop a bit quicker. Very happy with it.
Might upgrade later in the year. Will either go with the Oneplus Nord or possibly the cheaper Pixel 4A.
It'll be very hard to beat the OnePlus but possibly the camera on the pixel4a might be tempting.
I have an iPhone with work; wouldn't be tempted to switch to it for personal use, though they do run smoothly.

went for the OnePlus Nord. Cracking phone and camera is excellent. Battery easily lasts two days most of the time including when I use it as a hotspot. 

Few silly little things annoyed me initially though, no notification light anymore so have to tap the screen or unlock to see if there are any messages etc. They have also merged the ring volume with the notification alert volume. So the phone rings a lot louder than the alert for a txt message. Overall though, very happy and at €409 tis a great piece of kit for the spec and if I keep it as long as the 3 I had, will prove to be excellent value.

Ah dang, the notification light was a great feature reminiscent of the old Nokia phones. 
Do you use Android Auto?
The connection on the cable is temperamental on the OnePlus 5.
I hope the Nord connection might be a bit more reliable.
I am assuming the Pixel 4A would be good on this point, so if the Nord is poor it may away my decision.
The OnePlus phone are superb for the price though.

Cheers Sham. I'll keep this OnePlus 5 going for another while anyway.
It's working away brilliantly except for those Auto connections band that may not even be the phones fault.
