New phone time. SIM free. Up to £500.

Latest doesn't mean the best. My £330 A70 at the time was better than newer phones at twice the price.

How many years of security updates have Xiaomi committed to though?

5 years on current phones I believe.

@retrorick how's the 14T Pro?

I'm eyeing one up as my 3 year old £200 Xiaomi is slowing down. I'd sell the tablet on and trade in my existing phone for £80.

I got a Pixel 8 last month changing from a Samsung A55.

I much prefer the Pixel, the only irritant (for me) is it doesn't have a feature where you can limit the charge to 80% to prolong battery life like my Samsung did.

I normally get over a day out of the Pixel battery so it'd be no bother at 80%.

Pixel 8a at £499 from Google Store and can also get a trade-in on your existing phone.
