Been an iphone follower for absolutly years. Never ever buy the latest one but usually a couple models down. Ive currently got an iphone se. It is genuinlly a great phone and i really like it. Its just now apple are taking the absolute piss with prices and im not f*cking having it. I want another phone. Basic stuff i want, good camera, android due to app support stuff i need for my job, music player, good screen. Any suggestions for what i can buy when i sell my se?

wiley fox swift 2 plus. Theyre like £180 on amazon and theyre really good. Camera is what i take all my pics on and people are always impressed with the colours. The battery life is nuts and it hasnt slowed down at all.

Do you really need Android? There's some absolute bargains on windows (or Microsoft or Nokia whatever they are calling themselves this month) phones for the spec compared to Apple stuff and they are broadly the same as the Android stuff but you get big brand support rather than some cheap no name brand. Couple that with the fact mine have been nearly indestructible and they are great phones.

Yeah, don't get a Windows phone.. it's a dead platform. Moto G5 is another good shout, around the £150 mark and is probably the best spec for the money, full 1080p screen, decent camera, expandable memory. decent battery life (which is removeable) etc..

Samsung Galaxy S8, brilliant phone, amazing camera, decent battery life, and if its not good enough for how hard you use it you can pick up a 5000 mah batterycase for £18 which will top it up from fairly low about twice.
256gb sd card capability on top of 64 gb onboard, you can get a dual sim version, does HD video recording.

I had a windows phone. It was a nightmare to get the apps on it for work. It must be android or apple. Obviously im moving away from apple thoughx

Nexus 4 was good but has aged. nexus 5 is still good and was the last affordable phone from android. with the nexus 5x and 6 the prices soared. The pixel even more so!

I sort of half used this advice. I went to look who made wiley fox, turns out theyre a chinese phone. during looking at the phone i mustve seen a million chinese phones for sale so i looked into them. After watching many many many many reviews on youtube and reading about then ive ended up ordering a ulephone gemini, its got very good reviews over the board. 3d gaming on it apprently is the only downside which i dont use but day to day use its perfect for what i want and also has a dual camera lense. Ill report back when i get it and let you guys know what it is like.

Right now don't get a windows phone! The app support is pretty much completely dead. Facebook and messenger app is awful. There hasn't been a proper youtube app ever I don't think. I could go on and on...
I persevered with a lumia 640 for a few years. I develop for a job on microsoft platforms so it made sense at the time. But there came a time to give up!
I've moved to recommending Xiaomi phones imported directly from china to my family. Absolutely best quality hardware, specs, support for the money imho. All have been 100% spot on. Android and Xiaomi all the way for me!
