spikey_richie Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 My XZ3 is creaking, and the aerials are intermittent so I often don't get signal when out and about. I was looking at claiming for a new handset on the insurance, but the excess is £100. I may as well upgrade early (not due until May '21) and pay an early upgrade fee. Looking at my options, I've thinned it down to 1 of 3 devices Huawai P30 Pro (new edition) Sony Xperia 5 II (5G) Pixel 5 (5G) Given that list, what would you opt for? Bear in mind the Xperia comes with a set of WH-H910N for free.

dipsylalapo Supervisor Posted November 26, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 26, 2020 Personally it'd be the Pixel 5. Give your requirements, I feel like most of the would cover all those bases, so the cheapest one? 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 26, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 26, 2020 Personally all three look pretty decent to me. I remember the P30 getting solid reviews (oh look, Neowin reviewed it! ). My friend had an Xperia (but one of the first models, I think) and always talked about how great it was, although I note that its emphasis was the camera setup which you're not bothered about. And I would say that you can't go wrong with Google's own (another Neowin review), although wasn't there some talk about a gap appearing in the design? Ah, here we are. I think I would pick the P30, so long as you're not concerned about China's attempt at mass surveillance. I'm joking, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REM2000 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I know it's not part of your list and please feel free to ignore but i would recommend the Nokia android phones, theyre well built and pretty stock at a good price in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 I ended up taking a Pixel 4a, and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
