so ive been using the mate 20 pro for 3 weeks now, this is m 4th phone in total, finally blessed with a BOE screen. Do you think its a good upgrade over the s8 plus.
things ive considered:
  • s8 plus can be sold for at least £280
  • i pre ordered so i get the smart watch which can be sold for 150ish i guess (ill keep the charger)
  • its two year contract however

do you think its worth it??

You have to decide whether you need (or want) the new phone and whether you are willing to pay the price. From my experience it is never "worth" to buy an android phone within 3 months of release. Just like the Mate 20 most have severe issues that need to be fixed first and the price drops significantly aswell. I bought my Mate 10 Pro for 500€ last January after it was released in November for 800€. By that time they had already fixed some problems with updates.

Just make up your mind if you wanna have it or not... there is no relation to the money you pay anymore with smartphones.

IMHO: If your phone is still working fine, keep it. You can buy the Mate 20 after christmas, people will be selling unwanted gifts. You will get a much better deal. The S8 will have a similar price in 3 months

Only you can decide if it is worth keeping; is it worth it to *you*?

(Found out that I must be a lucky one, mine has an LG screen that seems to be fine so far)
