I have used Google Pay for ages now. Whilst nothing is ever completely safe these days, some bits of the tech are even safer than handing over your credit card as they provide a 'fake' credit card number so your actual card cannot be cloned at that point in time. That's what makes me continue to use it and I have yet to have any issues.

All the phones you listed reportedly have amazing cameras and if you're happy to pay the price tag then great. I for one however wanted a cheaper phone but with a great camera and I have not been disappointed with my Sony Xperia XZ1 compact - it's beaten my expectations, particularly in low light.

That does completely depend on a) if you have a specific phone in mind and b) how much you want to spend. This is the first time I've gone for buying a phone outright and then getting SIM only deal with IDMobile. I haven't regretted it once and it's going to save me a small fortune. I however, didn't need the latest and greatest new smartphone out there and buying up front can be very costly (likely to be more expensive in the long run with a contract but at least that cost is spread out). I managed to get a fantastic little phone (Sony Xperia XZ1 compact) that I'm loving and an amazing mid data deal with IDMobile (I don't use half my data allowance but others will and the more data you use, probably the better off you'll be buying a handset outright and getting a SIM only deal). Hope this helps.

I love my Xperia XZ1 compact. Purposefully bought it for the size in December and haven't regretted it. I have pretty small hands and all other smartphones were just becoming so hard for me to use! I don't 'need' the latest and greatest phones for how I use them and the price I was looking for meant that I sought out an older phone but still brand new.

Thanks [user=4402]Hikari[/user] I'd already tested out option 1 but didn't even know that option 2 existed, thanks for letting me know about that. Option 2 suggested that it is working fine when it's turned on. I'll keep an eye on it as the error message hasn't actually appeared again today but have your options 3 and 4 as backup. Thanks again
