New phone S8/9, ebay, rivals, so many questions
Discussion
I have a Samsung J5 have had 2 Samsung tough phones before.
The J5 is pretty much at its limit for downloading a few useful apps and often grids to a halt, it's about 3 years old with a cracked screen, I use it at work a lot.
So I'm thinking of upgrading to probably an S8, my girlfriend is a techie, works in IT and has an S9. There's a new S10 out soon, so I'm thinking that will lower the price of an S8. So my first question is, I've seen S8's new on Ebay for a lot less than for example John Lewis which would be a very safe place to buy an expensive phone from. Is it worth the risk of a cheaper phone off ebay, I want new, and how would I know which are the trusted sellers.
Then, I'm comfortable with Samsung as a brand, but what about a rival phone, Huawei P20 or similar looks good, any reason to buy one over the other?
Fanks.

I bought a Huawei P20 Pro yesterday from 02, it's in their sale for £665 and unlocked without 02 bloatware for my Vodafone SIM card. My wife will get the Note 8.
The Mate P20 Pro is a very decent phone, fast with good screen and decent camera. If you're after a Samsung then eGlobal sell Note 9's from £580 and S9's for less. The bargain Pocophone is now for sale on the Xiaomi website in the UK. My friend who has one highly recommends it and cheaper than an S8.

Going by the 2-star Trustpilot average I'd not risk it
