Sick of Apple and their ways, and having heard good things about them I'm going to take a punt on one.

I only use the phone for calls, texts and photos, and very occasional internet. I don't bother with apps. My iphone SE takes photos like it's a potato, so I'd like a better camera. I don't want anything too massive,

P20 lite has been suggested by EE, without making the monthlies too high is this the best fit, or are there better options to consider?

Oh, and does the blue finish look good in the flesh, or a bit childish?

Yeah, I'm not worried about that. It'll never happen IMO.

Given Google just today pulled support for Huawei, I would suggest you look at another manufacturer. Personally I think the Pixel is the best Android phone,or if you want cost effective take a look at Xiaomi. Avoid Samsung like the plague, terrible software just kills those devices.

Pixel photos are just amazing, Xiaomi very good too

But what does this really mean? I'd also read on here it was just for future models?

I curious as to why with all the current publicity you’d look a Huawei rather than Apple or even Samsung? confused

So what is it about Apple’s ‘ways’?

Lot's of little things combined, like the latest thing bugging the st out of me telling me I need to pay for more photo storage space and not backing up. I hate the Apple store. I hate the way they try to make you buy their over priced cables by making their software try to reject none approved cables, all sorts.

And I'd never have a Samsung. Every time I've given them a chance (3x in 20 years) I've always regretted it.

It means any future updates will be unlikely to have licensed Android, thus no play store, maps other Google apps etc.

As I understand it Huawei are now subject to US export restrictions.

That is serious st.

I wouldn't be buying anything Huawei until the situation is resolved.

It might be fine, you might find yourself the owner of a brick in a few months time.

Then that doesn't bother me. I use none of that. Texts, calls and photos, all I'm bothered about.

I didn't say better. I said I've heard good things, from people who have them, in the press, and on here. I'm just fed up of Apple, and why isn't actually important. If there are other none Apple/Samsung options I'm happy to consider. All said I just wish to text, call, take photos, oh and actually one more thing, email photos to my laptop (or send any other free way)

To be fair, this is the phone you should get.

That does look a pretty impressive phone, but I think probably a little larger than I want (maybe?)

When you said "and their ways" I thought were taking a philosophical stand.

Look at the Google Pixel range or Motorola for a good sliding scale of money vs camera quality.

I have a Moto G4, it's a few years old now and newer models out but I've never had an issue with it, battery is still lasting over a day to 2 days with a fair bit of use. I'll be replacing mine with another Moto G... The others will probably have better cameras but that's not important to me

You get used to size pretty quick. I've got a Huawai Mate 20 X with a 7.2" screen and my hands aint that big.
