    That's what I've done but not a good a deal as that. I've got a deal for £39 a month which includes the Pixel 6 Pro and a tariff for 250gb a month of 5g data.

    Pixel 7 in comparison will be about £60 a month for that tariff.

    So that includes a base plan or no? I'm not sure what tariff means.

    Not to get confused, the $10 a month is for the phone itself. I still have my plan that is $45. So in the end it's $55 + taxes. Pretty cheap still since most other phones they have are 3 times that.

    I guess I'm this scenario "plan" is the same as "tariff". So my deal is £39 a month for the phone and the plan/tariff (24 month contract) that is unlimited minutes/texts and 250gb data

    Cheap Lenovo S5 i got for free from my friend. Phones are the one thing I don't spend too much money on unlike drugs and food.

    iPhone 13 mini. Just because it’s small. I’m the opposite to OP, I love the small phones and everything is huge in todays market.

    I've found I like the finger print sensor on the 6. All I miss is the swipe for notification element of the scanner. If that's what you liked them maybe try this out as a workaround;
    Settings > System > Gestures > Quick Tap to Start Actions > toggle "on" and select "show notifications".

    It's not as good as the swipe on 5 but I'm so far finding it a good enough replacement.

    I'll check that out, but the onscreen fingerprint scanner is a lot slower and doesn't work as often as the back one. Back scanner was so fluid and easy

    Got an Oppo. Poor man's Samsung galaxy. I give up having good phones as I go through 2 phones a year on average due to my lifestyle.

    Had it 3 weeks and I've already cracked the screen. Obviously got a case on it.

    Find that it lags quite a lot and quite a few times the screen has frozen. And on one occasion the screen was flashing off and on until I fully powered it down.

    Plus really, really s--- battery.

    I've sworn by Pixels since the original but I'm now genuinely considering switching to iPhone.

    With the 6a i'm getting pretty decent battery life compared to the first week I had it.

    6 Pro should have a bigger battery than the 6a so it could be that 120Hz screen of yours and the 5G. You can always turn those down and see how much life you get out of it in comparison. Bluetooth and location are two other things that can be turned off to save battery.

    Not ideal but it is what it is
