Above.

 

I'm considering a Google Pixel 10 or whatever number the Samsung Galaxy's on by then, both Android, I can't use an Iphone because Itunes isn't available on Linux.

 

I'm also considering the new Honor phone in black because it's more pocket friendly as you can apparently fold it up.

 

Help me decide? I'll do some Googling of reviews and stuff in between.

No one can decide for you @MrRichAllen1976 

It's personal choice. Go in store to look and feel the different phones to help you decide.

Personally, I would avoid folding phones as the screems seem very fragile to me.

Agreed and out of warranty screen repairs are mega-expensive.

@Oxonian @MI5 

 

Have either of you used a foldable fold.. 

I have used many foldables and flips and none have been that fragile, if you are heavy handed or a clumsy git, then like all phones they will break.. 

 

@MrRichAllen1976 

 

Going on the amount of complaining you do about customer services, then my advice would be wait and see, and then leave for another network, or buy a phone from Amazon and go sim free...

This is not customer services and we dont have access to your account

@Oxonian Unfortunately I discovered that when I had a smashing time with my original contract phone last year.

 

It'd cost more than the phone's worth to repair the screen apparently.

 

@madasaf1sh That might be an option, although I'm waiting to see how much the Xbox ROG Ally is when it comes out in October, or ask for one for Christmas, my Googling tells me my entire Xbox catalogue will work, including the few bits I've got on Steam and possibly GOG.

Sorry for the delay @madasaf1sh ; the tag went into my Spam folder.

 

I have never owned a folding 'phone but a close family member had one. This was treated with care but developed a screen defect and the repair bill was hefty. However, as you have used "many" of them, I am happy to bow to your wider experience. 👍

@Oxonian I turned off emails when I get tagged, the amount of emails I got became rather annoying.

I'm planning to put my Watch on eBay for about £200 and mention that it's used and see if it sells for enough to pay off the contract on it.
