    Can anyone recommend me a phone upgrade? Currently I have a samsung s4 mini

    Yes looks a good phone, a bit squarer looking than the a20e though. The a20e seems to be nearer the 100quid mark. Maybe I'll wait till after Xmas and see if prices change a tad. I wanted an upgrade so I can run ip cam apps on my phone which currently it's a bit hit n miss. Thanks for your help
