When are you buying a new mobile phone for gaming, do you end up spending huge amounts of money, If so, why? Normally I'll spend £200.00 pounds on a new phone, max. I always go for contracts or look for a good pay as you go deal when I'm in search for a new telephone.

I don't buy a phone for gaming. Gaming is an added bonus and not something that would come into consideration at all really when I'm choosing a phone. I always go for contracts because it's so much easier because it's one payment for both the phone and data, texts and calls. At the moment, I'm paying around £29 for a Samsung Galaxy S8 which I'm happy with. And it's a great phone for gaming as well which is an added bonus.

I have an S8 too. Flagship Galaxys are always in the top 3 of phones - typically behind iPhones/iPhone SX+. You won't have many issues playing games with a Snapdragon 835 CPU lol. I'm not one to be able to distinguish between screen types either but I guess the Super AMOLED is nice to play on. I'm not much of a mobile gamer honestly. Waiting on RS3 Mobile xd

I enjoy having a fast and up to date phone, I'm using the iPhone 8 and love it. The phone without a contract was somewhere between $700~800 CAD, so they're definitely not cheap!

I have no idea! The screen wasn't just unusable, the whole phone was unreactive - no reaction to charge (e.g. vibration), no notification lights, nothing. I don't know why it stopped working since I just looked at it for the time 5 minutes before it died. I tried charging it overnight and still nothing. Someone suggested putting it in rice and that worked!! I had it in a bag of rice totally covered for a few hours. Yay!

Cell phones should be free from the service provider because of their ridiculous monthly prices in places like Canada.
I don't do a whole lot of gaming on my phone but I do enjoy Clash of Clans and a couple of other games I play from time to time if I'm looking to burn time and have sufficient battery.

I got a wicked deal when I signed up for my S8+, it came with a free galaxy E tablet. $199 down. I also bought a case/tempered glass screen protector and insurance plan. All in I spent $500. But repairs/replacement of either device or their accessories has been FREE for the last 2 yrs. I think ill renew and do something similar when i upgrade to the S10+ or the Note 9 (maybe i'll hold out for the Note 10)

Newest phone, iPhone XS Max. Under contract, it is ~$1,100. I don’t remember the exact. But, I don’t buy my phones for gaming, and I don’t buy them to have 500GB of space. I have my own personal cloud that is synced to my desktop. That’s where all my content goes, so I don’t need a huge amount of space on my phone. The phone is for utilizing my financial apps, communication of course, and general browsing. I use probably 10-20GB with my phone every month, and sometimes over 10GB or hotspot data as well.

I try to avoid spending fortunes on phones which are designed to be replaced anyway

Im getting the iPhone Xr AFTER the new phones are released in 2 months. That price drop will make it worthy of buying

A while ago I got into a crazy Valentines offer with my partner. The company since then was absorbed by another but they kept the deal with us, so when it is time to renew the contract we usually try to choose from the options they can offer us that won't mean a huge increase on our contract. Fortunately, the choices are still smartphones that are pretty nice overall. Right now I got an Oppo R11s. I haven't really had problems handling mobile games yet, but I am not someone that seeks the biggest games.
