“The 5.5in screen is probably the best-looking LCD I’ve seen and now has Apple’s True Tone system from the iPad that alters the colours of the display based on the ambient light.”

Totally agree, so much nicer than the iPhone 7+

Indeed ebay is full of muppets who get carried away and overbid and quite often pay over the retail, tradein or 2nd hand price, because iPhone, well same applies to any device. I sold my last S5 for a crazy amount and it wasn't even mint.

He said spec comparison, not single cpu core performance comparison, that no one cares about, multi core performance is more important and the S8 nukes the iPhone there too.

You're grasping at straws there. There is no way on earth that that any Android device performs better that the iPhone 8 and pretty much the whole world agrees.

First hit http://bgr.com/2017/09/22/iphone-8-v...s8-speed-test/

"The iPhone 8 “obliterates every Android phone we tested” the site noted, and it’s “easily the fastest phone ever.”"

was about to say under what criteria was that benchmark done?

Benchmarks are very unreliable unless you do various different ones and average them out.

That's it? Nothing other than the word of your friends at work, no stats or tests, I'm disappointed in you TP, three years ago when you first came out as a psycho fandroid you would have reached to the bottom of the internet for some whacky stat that no one cared about and trumpeted it out like it was fact.

Oh and it wasn't me that got you banned and if anyone has taken a beating its you, I bet you still haven't finished licking the custard pie off your face.

Don't take any notice of the fools on here, they're just trying to troll you. Enjoy your device, it's the fastest mobile phone ever produced.

I’m a big lad I can take negatives along with the positive lol.
Any way price wise . My 24 month contract was expiring & I had a few calls from EE trying to sway me to the deal they ( on phone ) were offering ..I called back 3 times on my own time & managed to secure
More data
A free phone
For £4 a month more than I was paying for the 6S
Getting the free handset was the toughest at the price for contract I wanted , but a little persistence it ended I feel , in a win win for me + on top of that I got the 6S unlocked from Apple &,EE. It took a week to get the confirmation text , but soon as I advertised it local on Gumtree .. sold the next day for £250 quick sale / now come on lads you can’t say I haven’t had a good experience x
