New Phone!

[Drezha]

Back on the original subject, I’m waiting for my 5T to arrive. No such luck here for £70 off that PM had, so full price for me.

But my darling iPhone has been playing up – locking up, becoming unpresonsive and crashing and I’ve no idea why. It’s getting a wipe and a trip back to the Apple store if that doesn’t work. Aim would be to then flog it.

Which one Drez, full fat or skinny?

Full fat – the 128GB, 8GB RAM one. For £50 extra, it seemed like the extra space would be worth it. After all, the iPhone was 128GB and that seemed to serve me well (must remember to turn off auto backup of APK’s this time around – I had that enabled with Super Backup and Restore and it ended up filling my old Moto!)

Smart move.

I reckon you’ll love it. Might seem a bit big to start with but it soon becomes normal. I’d order a case for it asap. The included one works fine but is a bit flimsy.

I’m still on the included screen protector, a few marks on it but it only bothers me because I know they are there, nobody else can even see them. TBH I forget after a while.

Well, according to phone comparison, it’s about the same size as my iPhone Plus was, so I assuming I may be OK on that front. The fingerprint on the back might be an issue but we’ll probably get used to that!

Ordered a Spigen case (and some USB C cables) from Amazon – they’ll probably get here about the same time as the phone (didn’t do Prime this time, I can wait and I got a £1 voucher for Music or Kindle books – I wouldn’t have bothered if it was the pantry voucher)
