Want a smartphone mainly to be used for tethering purpose when outside house. Thus, do not want an expensive phone. Just one that can do its job reasonably well.
1) Brand-any 2) Budget-Below $500 if possible 3) Specs-mainly for tethering purpose (to get internet for my laptop). May once in a while use waze 4) Type-any

Hi all, can advice me on something. I'm using honor 8pro, is it worth changing to S8 if I will have one lying around? Or is using the 8pro a better experience overall?

However,it is using the Dynamic AMOLED which gives you better colour and HDR10+ effect.

Thx for the recommendation but I was asking because my gf will be getting an S10+, so I was thinking of either using her current S8 to trade in, or I will just use it.

You will also get Samsung pay serivce. Possible worse bettery life as the battery is smaller with slower charging speed. Since you have it lying around you might as well give it a try. if you don't like it, go for trade.

But honestly, I use my phone quite heavily, so I find myself plugged into a power bank more often than not anyway. The thing I feel I might have to get use to is the screen size I guess. But nice to hear that the screen quality will go up because I do like to view a beautiful screen. That's why I got the h8pro for its QHD not knowing that it's LCD will look inferior to an amoled. Thanks!

Or is using the 8pro a better experience overall? I am using s8+ now. Very laggy playing Pokemon Go after 2 year of ownership. Sometimes want to smash on the wall so frustrating. Will trade it in for a s10e ASAP ... hopefully Tomorrow. Other phone Mimix 2s using SD845 quite smooth gameplay. This post has been edited by kahyeec: Mar 7 2019, 02:49 PM
