Smartphone for US and UK
My Lg G33 has been giving me a lot of fits lately. I think it has taken one too many (or maybe many too many) beatings. So, I am thinking about replacing it. I want something pretty similar, the only think I really don't like about that phone is the power button being on the back. It has a nice screen and nice camera. I mostly use it for Data, with the occasional call or text, not the other way around. My big things are as large a screen as I can get, and it has to work with Cricket (AT&T) in the US and Canada, and O2 in the UK.
Any suggestions for which phone to get? I'm having a little trouble figuring out a good phone tht covers all those bands, and isn't a Galaxy S7 or 8, which I don't really care for. |
If you want to stick with Android, I would just do the Pixel 3. Get it unlocked from Google. It should work on all those carriers.

I recommend a Oneplus. All the same materials (gorilla glass, etc) and components (Snapdragon, etc) as a Galaxy, but more RAM and none of Samsung's bloatware. All for a few hundred $ less than a Galaxy. The rapid charge is great (full day charge in 30 minutes). Comes with dual SIM card slots so you don't even need to pull your O2/ATT card out while you travel. I've had mine for a year and a half and it's going strong. I don't think my galaxy lasted 15 mos ...

Hm, looking at them, I think there are couple of other requirements. I need an SD slot (really? they still make phones without them) at least a 5.5in screen and decent battery life. And a headphone jack.
I am leaning towards a used phone at this point. Maybe I should just get another G3? |
I have a Motorola G6. They are only $200 now but have a ton of value for the price.
Has SD slot, a headphone jack, 5.7" screen. Works on a lot of LTE bands. The only major downsides to the phone are no NFC, and it's not water resistant. I can't complain given the price though. |
Nokia 6.1
Dual SIM. But one of the slots can be used for a MicroSD instead. |

I was looking at tht one. How is the display on it? I reaxd in a couple of reviews it wasn't as good as some of the higher-end phones.
