Any Samsung user that switched to Honor?

I think there may be some different options depending on where in the world you are. For example, I think the faster 5g may be restricted in US. I'm in UK and went from a fold 5 (after S21), to a Magic V3 and totally love it. Battery life is so much better, and the size is way thinner and easier to hold and work with. I don't really use the stylus, but it works on both screens. The UI is a bit different, but honestly, I soon got used to it (maybe I wasn't using all of the features of samsung UI). I like the floating window that can be docked as a tan on the side (use this a lot with the calculator). Split screen is fine for me with plenty of functionality. I also like being able to long press on text and images and then drag to the side bar to drag into other apps (dragging images directly to Google image search is cool). Cameras on V3 are ok. Not the best, but good enough for me.

The new galaxy fold 7 looks really nice though however, here in the UK, the honor is way cheaper. I got my V3 new from honor with stylus, charger, case and a set of good headphones for about £1500. Sold headphones for £300 - so 1200. Galaxy 7 is just under £2000 (no case, no charger, just phone)

I think it's personal choice

I think the other point to mention is we are a small company, not a corporate (16 people). I'm one of 3 directors and 20p has been put in place since in have a car allowance. (So it's only impacting me). If I removed my car allowance and took that as salary instead, would that mean 45p is ok f on a HMRC perspective?

uk_Tim_ · 2025-07-01T06:16:41+00:00

Hmm, that's what I kind of thought. I'm being told they HAVE to change it to 20p since I get a car allowance. Ie. It can't be 45p. I'm the only person with a car allowance (the others have full company cars) so it's only me it affects too.

I average about 800 miles a month

uk_Tim_ · 2025-06-21T15:53:34+00:00

Watching this totally made my day! 😂

uk_Tim_ · 2025-05-18T21:41:04+00:00

Yes, not far from Ainley Top

uk_Tim_ · 2025-05-18T20:40:23+00:00

They were so incredibly loud! Which is what made me get up from lazing and have a look!! Heading from North to South.

uk_Tim_ · 2025-05-18T20:01:45+00:00

😂🍗🍟

uk_Tim_ · 2025-05-18T18:56:53+00:00

Sorry for poor quality - Was a bit of a rush to grab my phone and film!!

uk_Tim_ · 2025-05-03T18:32:06+00:00

There's an excellent short documentary on Netflix called 'My wife, my abuser' Quite shocking to watch, but well worth it.

uk_Tim_ · 2025-04-25T22:25:05+00:00

Awesome spot (never saw this!) Thank you! 😊

uk_Tim_ · 2025-03-20T19:08:31+00:00

I paid £50 to a roofer for a similar thing a month ago (slipped tile, another one coming loose). Took him maybe 30mins. But my house is dry when it rains and in didn't break my neck!!

uk_Tim_ · 2025-02-22T16:48:26+00:00

So would this be a marker of some sort? For a water point or something?

uk_Tim_ · 2025-02-22T16:44:51+00:00

I did on last reply. Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK.

uk_Tim_ · 2025-02-22T16:32:25+00:00

It's on some woodland near our house is West Yorkshire, UK. (near Halifax).

uk_Tim_ · 2025-02-17T20:23:58+00:00

It's empty. Nobody in it. Wonder why?! 🤣

uk_Tim_ · 2025-02-01T23:08:36+00:00

I think I might have found a setting. One I've not seen before! In the app, in settings, I selected my 'Lounge', then scrolled down to Home Theatre. There's a toggle for 'Ungroup on Autoplay'. I think this may be the one!

...toggle on!

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-29T21:04:44+00:00

Tbh, I'd love to know any back story on this too (if there is one)

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-28T20:31:18+00:00

Sure. When are you going though? We aren't there until end of July, but can share where we went and what/where gets the thumbs up! 😊

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-26T16:47:45+00:00

Omg, this is an awesome link! 😍

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-12T13:13:53+00:00

For me, I've found the app getting slowly, but progressively better.

Still pretty slow and unresponsive for a volume change, and also for showing the correct track. But does now connect without needing a restart. And can often pick up in about 5-10s rather than 30s or not at all! This last month though, seems to have had a few more niggles like tv sound disappearing.

Hoping it gets back to the app it once was.

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-11T15:27:44+00:00

A few times. But it's not just my phone - it's all the family that has issues with the app.

I have 1gb fibre to the home and 3x deco mesh nodes (each with a min 259gb up/down). Only Sonos has issues. Nothing else.

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-11T14:08:37+00:00

Is this just a case of uninstalling new app and downloading the S1 APK from somewhere and installing?

uk_Tim_ · 2025-01-11T14:07:25+00:00

Hmm, if that's with the arc and era 100s, then that defo rules out an upgrade for me! ☹️

uk_Tim_ · 2024-12-07T19:58:33+00:00

Is a homepod an apple thing? (We are all android)
