I’m toying with the idea of buying a new phone. I currently have a Google Nexus 4 which is still OK, but it won’t pick up a 4G network. The 3G signal around where I live is very patchy, and the 4G is considerably better – so I’m thinking about a 4G phone. Whatever phone I buy will be an unlocked Android based phone – I don’t venture into the dark side (Apple), or want to be tied to a network contract.

So, it’s coming down to a choice between a top range model like the HTC One M8 which costs around £550, or one from the new Chinese interloper on the market, the OnePlus One running the Cynogenmod version of Android and costing in about £250.

Decisions, decsions …
