O/T Mobile Phone Advice Pls.

Post by Winston Teague »

The (dreaded) time has come to look at renewing my handset. I like small, Android, decent camera and battery life. My recon Samsung S10E is getting slow, and the camera is becoming dull.Candidates for its replacement are Asus Zenfone 8, 9, or 10. I resent spending loads (more that £350), but may have to get over this a bit.....so my questions are: Any negative or positive experiences of these Asus phones?
An alternative path could be one of the folding smartphones, it is the size in pocket that I wish to keep small.....I like the gimmick of a folding glass screen, but fear the longevity ( I reckon 3 years is my normal phone life..) Are these any good?

Sorry about the lack off Porsche content, W

Sorry Winston no experience of the android stuff. I was also interested in the folding ones though as I had one in pre iPhone days

Can’t comment on Samsung, but I’ve had iPhones since the beginning and love them and their integration with my other Apple computers etc

Just to be out of step with the above; only ever had Samsung phones. The last one lasted for 6 years. Only ditched because the speaker no longer functioned. Battery life is excellent on Samsung phones unlike my wife's iPhone which started to lose its charge very rapidly after 2 years of use.
I have not had a laptop or PC for 9 years as I can do everything on my Samsung: email, down load files, spread sheets, Word, print etc.

Phew, I knew the Iphoneistas would come out in force, that tallys with our experience too...As far as I've found, Samsung don't do a small one at the moment....

iPhone has also got bigger which is annoying. I had 2 generations of the small one (got small hands) but they’ve discontinued that
