Looking for new phone

james12315

Hi,

 

As the title suggests I am looking for a new phone, I am aiming to spend less than £500 (UK), to replace my slowly dying HTC mini 2. I want android.

 

I have picked out 2 phones:
OnePlus 3 (£329) or the Samsung S7 (£472).

 

I was wondering which one you guys think is better. I want to try to get the best value for money. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thanks

I would go for the S7 over the OnePlus. The finish on the front looks much classier and the camera on the OnePlus is slightly fuzzier from the shots I've seen. But if those two things don't absolutely matter to you, the OnePlus is still a great device for raw performance.

If you care about camera and image quality, Samsung is the way to go. They are usually the one of the top phones every year when it comes to the camera. If you don't care about that, then go OnePlus, it's still a flagship killer in my mind.
