Did anyone get the S20+? Any issues with the battery life or overheating with the Exynos chip?

Anyone recommend a Samsung A series mobile phone?

Obviously the S series is better but are any of the A series as good as them?
A70, A50, A40 and A20e have been suggested in a new upgrade plan but not sure if I should go ahead with any of them if they aren't great.

I have the A50 a good phone plenty of storage fingerprint scanner facial recognition  only issue is screen is expensive if it breaks on samsung so get a good cover

Quick Q - is it a thing to take an iPhone to a shop to get more storage memory added to it?? My daughter's iphone is at the limit and I'm hoping this is a cheap enough way to sort it? What sorta ££ if anybody knows, ta.

Can that not be sorted by upgrading the iCloud storage?

£2.49 a month I believe.

Probably increased due to protocol

Cheers. I've no idea tbh, I'm not an iPhone guy. I'm pretty sure she's saving loads of nonsense on her phone and the issue could likely be sorted by deleting the half of it

I've yet to work out how to store something in iCloud but not on phone. Instructions welcome please.

Photos especially videos and apps would probably be the main storage usage items

Apps need to be accessed on device, otherwise you wouldn't have to install them.

Rois, can you clarify exactly what it is you're trying to achieve?

Go into Settings and select your account. Select iCloud and then photos and optimise storage. That keeps the full resolution version on the cloud and a low res version on your phone.

Anyone have a folding phone? The likes of the z fold 4 or flip? Any problems with them? I find them interesting but they come with such a hefty price tag.
