Standard case with the Poco phone was meh. Bit of a mooch and settled on the Nilkin frosted case. Ended up ordering 2 from their store on AliExpress. Superb delivery time and the case is spot on. £12 delivered for the pair 👍

I'm just fedup of the s22 battery tbh. I've only ever run the phone in battery saving mode as it dies so fast. I tried standard battery today and I'm already on 27% and I've barely been on my phone.

Yeah, I have zero interest in big phones anymore. I much prefer the size of the s22.
Just to jump in on this. I had the S22 and, youre absolutely right, the battery life was f**king abysmal.

Waited for the S24 Ultra and, even though the phone is bigger, the battery is immense. I leave mine on battery saving mode so it only charges to 85%. Its also on the 'dynamic' mode so it conserves energy when it can. Honestly, I think I could get almost a full day of almost constant usage out of it now

Yes.

Currently got the 14 pro max but it’s been pretty battered from work so this looks like good timing.

Anyone used back market for a refurbished phone? I'm looking at a pixel 7 pro...
I sold them a couple. Good company to deal with. I think they're kinda like a market for companies but with extra protection.

I ended up buying a Pixel 7 through them. Picked the best condition they did, ordered Saturday, arrived yesterday (Tuesday). It looks absolutely brand new, they've been great to deal with. Very impressed by the 7 so far, a very nice upgrade from my 4a!

I've been fairly happy with my Pixel 7 that I picked up before Christmas for £300.

Though it replaced a Pixel 6 Pro with a dodgy usb port, so not much of a change. I just miss the screen size of the 6 Pro.

I'm still tempted by the 8 pro, I'm also still a bit teary for not buying a 2 month old S24 Ultra for £600.

I've had my 8 Pro a couple weeks now, coming from a 6 it's exactly the same, except it's noticably faster, the screen's noticeably sharper/smoother/brighter, 5x lens is great as is wider wide-angles both front and rear.

I honestly can't say I notice the miniscule screen size increase over the 6, but I can say that I'd be super pi$$ed if I got the smaller ⁸ instead of the Pro.

Battery is about the same for me, maybe slightly better, just.

And with the standard Google case, it's a lovely thing to hold. Good size, good shape, good feel.

Lastly, onboard speaker audio compared to the 6 is absolute total b*llocks.

Google seems to want to give me 261 trade in value for my ancient galaxy S20 plus, making the switch to a pixel 8 pro £538.

Seems like a no-brainer?

Nice one. My last three phones were Samsung so be interesting to use something different.

Long term support for the Pixel is quite nice as I tend to keep my phones for three or four years.
