Don't know, I've had it nearly a year and still can't use it properly! I'd have stuck with Samsung but was sold it as better :D

S8 and most certainly the s9. The s9 is one of the best phones for your money there is.

Even the new A40/A50 Samsungs do a job

I have an s10e. Have recently.moved from an s9

Keep out of it, tell her that if it was you, you'd get a Samsung ..... " But you sort it yourself, my love, you get what you want, I'm sure an intelligent woman like you will do what's best ... "

Then, in 6 months time, when she's tied into a two year deal on a rubbish phone that google won't update, which will, of course be your fault, and re-sets Britain's nuclear weapons codes every time she phones her friend from work ..... :D :D

Put your foot down Steve ... are you a "Man or a Mouse" don't let 'er indoors dictate to you... get 'er told m8.

Huwawei's are going to be useless within 2 years without updates and snooping in your bank accounts (especially that numbered Swiss account you keep secret from HMRC) ...

Get her an S8 or S9 Samsung cracking phone decent camera etc (I hardly use my Samaung Tab3 these days as the phone does everything)

Has anyone thought she might just want a basic phone to ring people?
That she might not use all the latest gadgets and probably not worth shelling out on a top of the range Samsung?

Try an Alcatel onetouch. £10 from Vodafone shops. It makes phone calls and sends text messages like nobody's business.

Huawei? From what I've seen pretty expensive. Is the whole problem with Google and the US government anything to do with (just maybe) a non-American company coming up with something decent and Apple's no-doubt considerable lobbying power in the states? Apple's dominance of the mobile market has been balked to an extent by Samsung and I can imagine them getting seriously p!ssed off if yet another company came along to rival them, after all if there is competition there is less chance to continually rip people off.
Apple: excuse me Mr President.
Trump: yes
Apple: these Huawei people - they aren't American are they.
Trump: I don't know, are they not.
Apple: no Mr President, they are Chinese.
Trump: oh - are they a threat?
Apple: they could be - they could damage our profits and seriously dent the American dominance of the mobile industry.
Trump: oh - then we must do something about it maybe?
Apple: yes sir.
Trump: I know, we'll invent some cock and bull story about how all their stuff is going to steal our money and defence secrets and get Google onside, that should halt their sales. We'll call them spies.
Apple: that'll do nicely Mr President.
Apple (to another Apple as leaving): stupid f8cker...but at least he comes in useful for something.

You should try being more forceful Steve but be wary, I tried it and got it wrong a few years ago. The surgery was long and painful and I still get severe pain in my groin.

She has a better phone than me.

Sony Xperia XZ2 is a nice phone. Good for watching things on with the HDR screen.
