sorted bySince we're around halfway past April, with this deal at this time you would roughly expect:
- 6 months at £37.
- 12 months at £40.33 (an additional £40 at 9%) (An additional £55.50 at 12.5%)
- 6 months at £44 (another £42 at 9%) (An additional £59 at 12.5%)
So the real cost would be around £80 or £115 higher than the price in the submission title at those rates.
This isn't unique to Vodafone by the way, nor is theirs the highest. (edited)
I'll be going Lebara PAYG unlimited mins and texts with 12gb a month for £12 for 6 months. Then see what deals are out in April. (edited)
I'm thinking about changing phone, I'm still running p30 pro which works great.
When I buy phone most important for me is camera.
I'm aware of s22 ultra being nest but price holds me back a bit.
Do you think pixel 7 pro camera is much better than p30 pro is any?
If you want a good camera and you come from P30, listen, the S22U will frustrate you. It has shutter lag that only gets worse over time, it has such a different lens for zoom levels that when you change it literally shifts the view drastically, if you see something and you think you can just 10x zoom to that spot, you can't because the location you looked at on the primary lens is not the same when you change to the zoom lens and you will then spend seconds reacquiring the target, by which point maybe you have lost the moment for the capture.
I can tell you objectively that as a generic statement "the S22U is a great phone". I can tell you if you like to draw or colour or even just take notes with a stylus, having that with you as part of the phone is game changing. I can tell you having 1TB space is incredible for travelling, I can have all the apps I ever need fully installed, I can have all my playlists downloaded from Spotify or Tidal, I can have media to watch on flights and I can connect 2 sets of Bluetooth earphones to the phone so another person can watch also. I can also just connect my GoPro to it and transfer all the footage from it direct to my phone. I can tell you I have taken over 4000 photos with it in a few months, and it does a lot of nice things like portrait mode, but all the modes take effort to get right.
Major negatives about the camera specifically, compared to Huawei; The moon shots on the P40 pro were so much better vs S22U, the simplicity and speed of the camera is also missed. I do wonder about the P50 range and other Chinese brands with Leica lenses but it's too much of a trade to give up google pay for me personally.
I think phone camera photos have been so similar the past couple of years that it won't be a major change going from a P30 Pro but you are not just buying a camera, even if that's all you want. They are all branching into doing other stuff, pre-capture video recording before you press play, taking motion photos when you just wanted a still. Capturing additional data to help with image editing later plus tons of other stuff. It all has its impact on the camera responsiveness.
Sorry to say but no matter what you buy in this day, you will probably love and hate some parts of it, that goes for all brands and models. You just have to try work out which one works for you.
EDIT: I have just been hunting, and it seems that claims for the Pixel Watch don't open until 1st November (edited)
I did read about the issues originally but they seem to be all ironed out.
So with this deal (once you have paid the initial £9), you are paying just £1.62 per month for a Vodafone contract which includes 100GB of data. I still can't get my head around how they have done this.
This deal would be much hotter if people realised they were paying £1.62 per month for a contract
Currently on Vodafone, new contract on Vodafone too. So I've ordered a giffgaff sim so I can switch my numbers over without waiting 30 days for Vodafone to do it. Cheers!
