which new phone NOT Iphone or HTC

bahbah · 15-06-2016, 09:29

hi I'm looking for a smartphone which does the usual shebang with a good signal, storage but I don't want apple or htc. I've considered Sony and Samsung (not the edge though not paying extra money for curves!)

Any advice would be great as I'm not "into"phones per se but need one will be the first new phone i'm buying since 2008!)
Thanks

Have you looked at the S7? I have the Edge and it's an amazing phone but I'm told the "normal" S7 is still a great phone.

Consider the Motorola Moto G.

The new OnePlus 3 offers flagship level specs for £300!

Got a really good review on The Verge.

What are your reasons for not considering Apple or HTC? If it's the first phone you are buying since 2008 do you actually need a top of the range phone. Something in the midrange will be a huge leap forward coming from 2008.

I've been fortunate to get hand me downs from family so have had the technology since 2008!
I don't want to buy apple - period, and I hate the HTC functionality
budget I refuse to pay 500-600!

cheers
