I dont think youll need that to be honest. When I signed into my OP3T it copied everything across, my background wallpaper, the location of all the apps on the homepage, wifi passwords etc, it felt like my old phone but shiny and new.

I always start again as I figure I new phone is a good change to purge apps you no longer need, so I only install the essentials and then install stuff as I need it. It is incredible how much clutter you end up with at the end of a phones life.

Forget my complaints about the video recording quality on the OP6. I found the 60fps setting and it is clear this is where they have focused on optimising the hardware as it is glorious.

I don't actually have a 4k capable screen available to me so I can't test playback at the very top end but I will try and figure out a way of doing so. Playback on the phone itself (1080p) is fantastic.

I've got to say, having now used the OP6 for a few days, it's incredible. The screen is stunning, it looks great and it's so fast! Really impressed by the speed of the facial recognition and fingerprint scanner too.

Haven't dabbled much with photo and video yet, but from what I've seen it holds up well against the flagship competition.

Bad things that Apple have done:

Get rid of the headphone jack
The notch

Things the Pixel 3XL has apparently copied:

The notch looks like Johnny 5.

I current have a Nexus 6, and there's a deal on HUKD for a Pixel 1 for £200, which is pretty much the max I would like to pay for a phone. Is there any reason I shouldn't be considering this?

Depends on the storage in the one that's 200 and if that's enough a sit isn't expandable, but otherwise the pixel seems like a pretty good device from people I know that have them.

Is anyone having issues with O2? I have no reception on my One Plus 5 but can't work out if it's an issue with my phone or the network.

Try moving the sim to the other slot?

Do you have another phone you can try the sim in?

Yes?

Replaced my piece of gooseberry fool iPhone 6 with a Samsung S8, loving it so far :wub:

Are there any must-have apps that you can't get on iOS that I should be downloading?

Can anyone recommend a decent ad blocker? I've downloaded Adblock Browser, but as the name suggests it only blocks ads on the web browser (I'm using Chrome), but even then some ads do still appear. I want something that will block ads on everything - games, youtube, soundcloud and chrome. I had one on my iPhone that I *think* had root access, will I need something similar to block everything?
