LG G4 Black Leather £26.99 p/m & £55 upfront with EE. Unlim Calls/Texts, 2GB of Data. Total £702.76 @ Mobiles.co.uk Plus £25 Quidco!

The G4 is a very decent smartphone, with an excellent camera, shame about the chipset, but there's no realistic alternative choice out there, the Snapdragon 810 has overheating issues on every phone, and doesn't have Krait cores, so I can understand why they went with the Krait core Snapdragon 808. The S6 has the best chipset and the fastest internal storage, tbh the current flagship phones out so far this year are a disappointment. I have an S6 and it's very decent, a bit bland, I hope Samsung get the next version of Android working properly on it.

I needed an upgrade so I went S6 as I just wanted the best possible performance on a phone, no other Android phone has the raw internal power and it should only get better with software updates. If I didn't really need an update until later 2015 early 2016 then I'd wait for phones with Snapdragon 820 as Qualcomm should have done that chipset properly. The OnePlus 2 will have a Snapdragon 810 so it's already a failure.

Worst flasgships this year:
HTC One M9
Sony Xperia Z3+
S6 Edge (fashion phone, horrible to hold and pickup, lack of useful functionality from the curved edge screen)

Best Flagships so far:
LG G4
SGS 6

The rest I haven't tried, but any phone with a Snapdragon 810 is a failure because of that chipset, the only way to make it work without overheating is to throttle back the chipset speed, like buying a Porsche and they say ok you have all that power but you can't go over 100mph or it will overheat and break.

The Xiaomi Mi5 is the only phone I know of that's supposed to be getting a Snapdragon 820. No card slot on that and so far you can choose either 16GB or 64GB versions.

Anyway I just stopped here to say the LG G4 is a pretty decent phone, no idea why I rambled on, maybe I like the sound of tumbleweed :\

Appreciated if you just want the phone on its own but I need a SIM also so this was the best deal I could find.

You can. Of course. Plenty of mono screen Nokias and cheap Samsungs about. If you're talking flagship phones, never in the history of phones has there been anything for £10/month

The Italy Amazon sim free G4 deal is way better than all these recent posted deals.
I paid £417 for brown leather inc delivery.
Just click "NEW" then buy from vendor "Team Web Srl" as they deliver to the UK

it's better ish.. if that's 420 + credit for two years at(£13/month - taking me as an example) it works out more this not a bad deal.

26.25 with TCB topcashback.co.uk/mob…ies. I will be getting this phone once my current useless contract is gone.

There is a review of the G4 on Amazon and the person who wrote says that he had the phone plugged into his car charging as he used google maps but the battery discharged faster than he could get it charging.

This deal is not how to get sim free G4. Over £400 is a lot of money so start.

well if he had a poor charger ie 500mA then of course the gps would take more than supplied, my note 4 would as well.

Do you know what charger he has? Why assume that it is a poor charger? Why not assume that he has the best charger on the planet?

I suffer the same issue with my Galaxy S4. ever since the new android release.

I have a 2.1a 12v USB charger for the car, sorts out charging issues on the move with any device except my Asus Transformer, I have to use my Playbook charger for that

Try a new battery in your S4 the android release of Lollipop should not cause any charging issues, my battery started charging slow and discharging erratically, new battery and now back to old self.

Your assuming the negative, whilst id guess their are more in car chargers of 1Ma or less than Higher, my note 4 screen mirrored to my appradio dash even with a 1Ma charger still loses power, so i use a note dock which gives me 2 Ma and its fine.

That is a good point. Most people have older chargers designed for smaller phones/batteries. Hadn't though about needing to get a faster car charger - not even sure if they exist.

Because lots of people don't. They have had the same charger that they bought God knows how long ago, because they still work, but they all used to be 0.5mah output at one point, and these simply do not cut the mustard when trying to power a phone using GPS.

really want to get this but need more data

I have the nexus 6 and its amazing

He's right...if you have a crappy charger it will deplete over charging...

You know what Kudos for rambling although it is purely your opinion I like the comparison you gave for both and you're talking from first hand experience. Couldn't ask for much more than that. Cheers for the info!

Too rich for my blood. Why can't you get a good £10 deal per month including phone anymore?

You won't get the cashback at Quidco if you use the voucher, it's in their T&C's

£26.25 at TCB if you want a bit extra.
