Next Honor phone for USA?

[dpham00]

Yah but to me in my recent years if owning a phone. I've only broke one. Never had to replace any other phones. Paid insurance for years... almost for nothing.

Well then just skip insurance, but just be ready to pay in the event that your phone gets damaged.

That's what I did when I had my PRIV. Shattered the top screen so I searched for a cheaper phone. And that's how I found out about Huawei. Kinda happy I shattered the screen on my previous phone or I probably wouldn't know much about Huawei

 

[Aljean Thein]

Yup. On Verizon the s line was re re badged as another name before the s3.

Oh, interesting. Didnt know that

 

[Aljean Thein]

No they don't, but they do have promotions from time to time to waive restocking fee

Oh bummer. Well, that sucks. But their warranty procedure still works fine. Majority of people definitely wouldn't wanna wait for days to get it fixed

So what you are saying is that you found honor after smashing your phone

Yeah and even as recently as last year they had phones branded as droid

What about the iPhone se? That's reasonably priced

Way too small for me since I've been over with Android which Android tends to utilize larger phones so when I tried the SE last I could barely even read the screen anymore. The iPhone 8 came out of nowhere as I wasn't expecting the opportunity but now since it's there I am thinking about jumping on it.

Especially when you are talking about a premium priced phone. People are more forgiving on bargain phones

Oh yah. Man, I wish they'll open a Huawei store here. Actually I don't even see much Samsung stores besides inside best buy

 

[Aljean Thein]

The iPhone SE is really small. And it's pretty pricey for the size. I know it was for the people who prefer smaller screens tho

That is true but I can call Verizon and they will send me a warranty replacement with overnight shipping should my Verizon Samsung phone have a problem

Size should not be indicative of price. It is the best bang for the buck for an apple phone.

That's great. But why isn't there an actually Samsung stores ?

I think sizes should matter when it comes to pricing.

Oh before I ever used Android the iPhone 5s and then the SE were my favorite phones. I loved how easy it was to throw in your pocket. But after a year plus with the larger Android phones made it where the SE was way too small for me. 4.7 which is what the iPhone 8 is and up to 5.2 is what I prefer. I think I just got the opportunity to get the iPhone 8 and it's 4.7 which is the smallest I'll go now. My ideal sweet spot is exactly 5 inches. Not many phones around exactly 5 inches though. The iPhone 8 opportunity came about tonight so if I get it which I've been wanting to get back to IOS means I don't know what the future holds for my beloved honor 8 now. I'm unsure if I'll keep it or return it for a refund bc I promised myself my next phone would be a long term phone as I've spent way too much on buying and selling phones. I'd rather keep my honor but if I'm making myself just use one phone long term then I would then have no need for multiple phones so I don't know. It all depends whether if I get the iPhone 8 or not. I'll know by tomorrow what I'm going to do. It's a tough call bc I love my honor 8 but I'm a true Apple IOS fan by heart as I was exclusively Apple for many years up until just over a year ago now. I only made the swap to Android out of curiosity then ended up staying over bc I got addicted to buying and selling so I could test new gear out. I've exhausted that now having tried almost everything. The honor 8 was clearly the winner here in Android for me but then again I don't consider the honor 8 to be Android either though.

 

[Aljean Thein]

Yes, these days I think anything smaller than 5inch phones are for a niche market.

 

[Aljean Thein]

So what you are saying is that you found honor after smashing your phone

Oh yah. I was looking for a cheap phone and Honor 8 was perfect for that price point.

I'm glad I'm in the UK. Honor and Huawei are getting really popular over here.

They got stores all over in the Philippines when I visited. And I was so jealous.

I bet so. They make a superior device to even Samsung. In fact I'll venture to say they probably make the best devices on the market for Android. Too bad here in the US we only have three models to choose from. Honor needs to at least release two more models here very soon. If they don't I think it will be a bad business move on their part for their US based customers. I know we all here in the US want to at least see honor release another honor flagship to take the place of the honor 8. It's not looking very good though for the US. We've heard nothing from Huawei Honor in terms of updates or phone releases. They will eventually loose me as a customer if they don't keep providing updates as promised and providing at least a new release of a phone or two each year.
