Hi there gents. The missus has asked me to sort her a new phone out. She's had an Apple thing for the last 8 or so years but it's not working so well now and doesn't get updates. She's said not Apple this time and for me to choose one.
Anyway, I thought I'd go for a Google phone as they seem reasonably priced and are good for software and security longevity. I tend to like buying the handset rather than taking on a liability, but it actually works out cheaper to do it monthly. There are two recent releases with the cheaper one being about £200 less. I started to do a bit of research to try and find out the difference between the two. Going off reviews, the 'big' difference between them was that the cheaper one has a 6.1 inch display instead of 6.2 inch on the more expensive model and there's a 6 gram difference in weight. That's technology for you - I'll have that £200 in my pocket thanks
By the way, after a few years with the Apple phone - Apple were caught out doing a software update that made the battery drain quick so you'd have to go and buy a new model. No doubt these EV manus will be doing that when they want to boost sales or increase profits
