He seemed out of it after the first overhand right, as he just stood motionless before taking a clean left hook.

I’ve never seen that before in boxing.

Yes second punch not needed well gone after the right

Go on eBay and get a replacement battery and tool kit for £10, then go and Youtube and watch how to fit it yourself.  Takes 15 mins.  I did it for my 6S just after Xmas, as it was getting painful, having to recharge it twice a day, one the new battery was in, it was as good as new.  Would've been happy to stick with it for a while longer but Carphone Warehouse gave me a great deal on an 8.

Yeah think this is what I'll do, replaced screens in a couple of tablets with the help of YouTube so should be able to manage this I hope ?

My wife has a 5s and it is doing the same, although I did notice yesterday that the screen is lifting a little along one of the sides, so the battery is probably shot (they tend to expand as they die).

Ah cheers I'll have a look of hers is like that too

Is it a 6s by any chance?

No 5s or se not sure

My Mrs's iPhone cuts out and dies when the battery status says anything from 20-40% (not always but sometimes), she's / refusing to get a new one until her contract runs out. I want to bang a new battery in it for her but anyone know if this a software issue or an issue with the battery before I do it?

Have you looked at the Huawei p10? 

I'm still 'browsing' . Always been Android, but who knows, maybe I'll jump ship and move to the dark side. I'm allergic to any device made by Samsung. So with that out of the equation, what is in direct competition with the iPhone 8?

I broke my s7 a few weeks ago so was looking at the likes of the huawei, s8 and Google pixel.

I'd have had the pixel out of any of those but couldn't justify £450. So looked at the Samsung a5 or the Motorola g5s, half the price and to be honest I have hardly notoced the difference going from the s7 to the a5 outside of the screen size and battery lasting much longer on the a5.

what about sound quality (music playback) and ease of camera use? what about ease of data transfer? these are the things that matter @David I came from a Sony Xperia Z3 compact back to iPhone 7, and the Sony actually wins on all of those, and music and photos are important to me.

Data transfer from phone to phone is great with smart switch NFC on on both phones and it transfers everything, puts all the home screens as they were on the old phone and transfers all the setting over too. If you mean data transfer to a computer I don't know because I don't own one

Just stacked up on Qi pads, £14 a pop for an Anker one on Amazon, picked up 4 ready to scatter around the house.

Make sure they're the fast charging ones the standard wireless ones are painfully slow

Pretty much the same for me liked the screen on my 7edge but pain in the arse moving it to small screen mode just to use the keyboard quickly with one hand. Qi is good especially if you have a new seat car with the charging pad in the middle

I just changed my phone went for a smaller screen than I had before , biggest problem is they're too expensive.

I would guess that they'll start alternating years to release each series will be the iPhone X/ Samsung note one year and the iPhone 9 /Samsung s9 or whatever number the next year, can't see as many upgrading every year now they go up £100 a year and they're at £800 now. Barely even upgrade them year on year either

Especially on the larger phones, finger never rests on the scanner naturally, have to twist your finger.

Apples Face ID hasn’t hit the world yet so it’s impossible to claim it’s rubbish. Facial recognition will be the future, not just because of Apple, Samsung took the first steps with iris scanner.

Cash points, the lot will start scanning faces. You can quote me on this. Just don’t ask me about the Burka.

It was about well before the iris scanner Samsung does now I had one of the old nexus phones that had face unlock. I'm sure apples with work well, sometimes, I'd be very surprised if it works first time every time

Having one on the back is even dumber, don't know why makers even bother...

I don't disagree with that because not everyone has the same size hand etc, but only place for it if they really want the whole of the front to be a screen
