What's more, on Black Friday, it will be selling for £184.99!

I'm yet to set it up but once again, questions will have to be asked again about whether a similar spec phone is worth £700+”

So, can you tell us now which phone this is of which ye speak

Would be a bit cheeky to charge you for it.

Yes, @jonmorris what's the big deal with this phone? Black Friday is nearly over!

No big deal, but it's under £200. This thread was about the cost of phones and the allegation of huge profit margins.

A 16MP camera? So that's definitely much better than the 12MP camera on the iPhone?

I honestly didn't realise that. I was under the, I now realise mistaken, impression that there was more to a camera than the number of megapixels.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Of course there is, so your assumption above is very wrong. I'm quite surprised.

But if you're thinking a £200 phone is AS good as an £800 one, you're likely very wrong too. The point is, is a phone worth £600 more and does it have £600 worth of components more.
