    From Alcatel Idol 3 (5.5) to what?

    So the P10 has arrived and it looks perfect for me, until...the news it doesn't have oleophobic coating!!! Would a tempered glass screen protector fix this? And still leave the fingerprint sensor working?

    thanks Jerry, I'll take a good look at it. Noticed the P10 is coming soon, with a front fingerprint sensor, so may hang on to see what it looks like.

    From Alcatel Idol 3 (5.5) to what?

    Hi Jerry I know you were a big fan of the Idol 3, I like mine despite the bit of lag, particularly how good the outdoor visibility is. However, in the uk we seem to be stuck on lollipop.

    A smaller Idol 3

    Here in the uk the 4.7 has been out for a while and my wife has one and loves it, especially the speakers. It did come with JBL ear buds which are great. I have the 5.5 which is great too!

    I know this phone is great for its price, but is it a great phone on its own regardless of price?

    Which one should I get the Sony Xperia Z3 or HTC One M8?
