Need a new phone, so many choices. Suggestions?

Post by ChrisAbout » Mon Nov 20, 2017 9:02 pm

Started a new job today and I'm entitled to a new phone, however I am unsure what to choose. So many options out there: iPhone X, Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note8, Google Pixel 2.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Everything except the crappy headphone dongle thingy - got mine the other day and can imagine it thing lasting under a month before it breaks.... other than that very happy with the phone!

Am a long time Samsung user and despite many drops, a couple of drownings and otherwise being abused have had very little trouble.

Get Samsung Note 8. Use those iphones as sinkers.

I have never seen a camera this good.

Battery life is better than the sinkers.

Iphone X is fantastic, very powerful, fast, amazing screen amazing camera.
Plus, keep the original box, get a good cover, look after it and you can sell it for a hefty sum after a few years. Just sold my iphone6 plus for $480.
Try that with a 4 year old samsung.

Cant go wrong with either S8+ or iphone 8/X. I have both Samsung and Iphone (personal and work phone) and they are both excellent.
