Planning to buy the new realme 12 pro+ Was initially thinking maybe I should buy s21fe SD edition for a nice camera but apparently i gotta buy charger and all extra. My budget caps at 30k. Any other alternatives to Realme for camera? I'm already using my realme x7 max. The battery is horrendous now. And I'm kinda sick of the realms UI tbh. Need a change. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I'm currently not looking for a new one my S20 fe works okay with battery drainage. But I was getting a good exchange rate by which I could get the S24 for 58k instead of 80k. Should I go for it? Or is it worth waiting for S25, which I had planned as my next phone. Heard that S25 will have Snapdragon instead of Exynos. Not sure I'll get this good exchange price for it next year. Currently getting 22k as exchange I bought it for 36k. Country: India

In Los Angeles, I've had the ZTE Blade a7 and the most intensive thing I do is ubereats. That app is a monster. Although this phone has worked well enough some days, I wonder if I've been losing orders because my phone isn't that great. I continuously see other drivers have much faster better phones that load the app in seconds and don't seem to freeze as much. Also my phone's broken so I need a new one anyway. And today my uber app isn't even working, it says my phone is too old (Android 9, can't upgrade).

On my network, visible, I've noticed a few dropped calls as in they don't even show that the person called. I even have a google number so that the calls can rely on wifi while I'm at home and they still drop or someone might go straight to voicemail without me seeing a call. In a last ditch effort I'd like to try a better phone and network for a month or two to see if the orders start coming in more before I go try to live in an RV or be a trucker. I was thinking I'll get on Verizon (that's trustworthy and quality in LA, right?) for a $30 5gb plan, which will let me have 5G and no dropped calls from potential employers...I dont need the best features, just something not worse than what I have and that uber'll work better on.

What can I get for less than $200 that works on verizon thats not worse than the Blade A7 that they don't even sell anymore?

both at same price but don't know which is better

Country: USA

Carrier: AT&T

Budget: Prefer under 600, but flexible. Can pay up to 1000 if it's really worth it.

Features I most want in order of importance:

1. Compatibility with /e/OS, or alternatively LineageOS - Must
2. easily replaceable battery (don't have to melt glue to get to it) - Must
3. MicroSD card slot - Almost Must
4. Large storage (128GB is must, 256GB is nice to have)
5. headphone jack - Almost Must
6. Good camera - Nice to have
7. 5G compatibility - Nice to have

I don't care about what display the phone has, but I would like a nice camera if possible.

The computational power of the phone does not concern me, as long as it won't have issues doing tasks like streaming a YouTube video over web browser within the foreseeable future. 5G is not necessary, but preferred. I will need 4G connectivity.

I would like to not spend a great deal. I could spend six, seven, eight hundred dollars, but I don't use my phone enough to feel good about spending that much if it can be avoided. Preferably something under $600, but I'm flexible.

Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided!

For my budget these phones in 12gb ram options are in a similar price range for me.

Which one would you recommend where the chipset and processor are solid and after a year of use wont be laggy, not looking at samsung. Im most concerned about performance and reliability.

Appreciate the support and maybe other recommendations

Hi, I've had a Pixel 4a for 2.5 years, and I've been pretty happy with it. The only problem is the small battery, because of which I had already switched to a Samsung A23 5G, but that phone performed so badly (had to restart almost every app whenever I switched) that I ended up back with the Pixel. I'm looking at the Pixel 7a, but normally I like using a phone for more than 2.5 years. Is there an alternative with a better battery, fast enough and with a decent camera at under 400 €?

Looking to upgrade my s23u ultra. Narrowed the choice down to these 2 phones. Can get the OnePlus £100 cheaper than the honor. Is there much difference between the 2? A good screen and good camera's are the most important things to me

hello guys, I´d like to upgrade my phone (Xiaomi 9T lite) as the battery is not lasting enough for my needs. Moreover I´m not happy with the experience with MIUI as there is a lot of spam.

After many comparisons, I think my choice is between nothing 2a and Samsung A55. I would get the Nothing 2a 8GB/12GB RAM for 349 eur / 399 eur while Samsung A55 at 349 eur (no matter the storage).

My priorities are battery, screen and camera, as I don´t play video games on my phone. I do quite an average usage (mainly socials, internet browsing, YouTube)

I was almost there buying the Nothing 2a, but I´m afraid of the lack of support/expenses in case of breakage (I live in Italy, and Samsung parts would be easier to obtain).

Moreover, I have a Samsung tablet that I use to take notes at work with the Samsung Notes app. I don´t know if there's some sync possible if I buy a Samsung phone. That could be a plus too.

Hi everyone, I've been using the pixel 7 for about 10 months now, and so far so good. When I got it back in June 2023 I wanted to keep it for at least 2 years as I was expecting it to have an excellent camera, but to be honest it's not that good, as it has some problems: The main camera tends to overprocess daylight scenery photos and sometimes the colors are very inaccurate (for example, a pink sunset will look orange, or a slightly orange sunset won't even look orange at all). Then there is the ultrawide which is fine, but I wish it had macro capabilities. The next problem is the zoom; it's just horrible, I always have to turn on RAW in order to edit it later on Lightroom or else I'll end up with photos that look like oil paintings when I use the zoom beyond 3x, but the 2x is actually pretty good even at night. And finally there is the front camera, which usually produces very grainy, blurry, dark and colorless photos, but to be honest I barely use it so it's not that important.

Now, with all that said, here are the 3 phones that I've seen so far: -Oneplus 12 (256/12) -Xiaomi 13 ultra (256/12) -Samsung S23 ultra (256/8)

Which one of them doesn't have those problems or at least improves them? I know all of them have good batteries, processors, screens, etc, but as you can see I mostly care about the camera, so, which one should I get?

I need some suggestions as i am moving from apple to android. I want to buy latest while also a phone that will last long. Battery life should be really good, camera aswell(although don’t really mind). Other than that i want a phone with overall performance and not just focusing on single things. My budget is around 1500$ aud

I'm looking for a new phone with a great camera and display resolution

Doesn't neet to be a powerful gaming phone cus i don't really game at all on my phone

But im stuck on a few phones to pick from:

Xiaomi 13T pro (top pick for now)

Google pixel 8 (keep hearing about it)

Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra (still to expensive in the Netherlands)

Can you guys help me out? Very much appreciated 😊

He has lived with Motorola phones for years. He doesn't care about camera, he watches loads of videos and plays games mostly. The tech geek in me is struggling to ratchet down my "needs" to get him a solid affordable phone that he'll be good with for the next few years. We are in the US market on Google Fi if that matters where (for reference) we can get the Pixel 8 for $449. What do you suggest?

Fold 4 USED and s24 NEW are my options. My daily use is pretty basic. Whatsapp, calls, YouTube and reddit. And sometimes book reading when kindle not around me. Is fold 4 in used condition long lasting and practical ? Big screen is enticing surely. Or s24 box pack will be good for me ?

Hi, I'd be very grateful for your help. I currently have a Samsung galaxy S20 FE 5G. I've had it for several years, and I'm on a contract where I can upgrade. I like the size of the phone, and battery longevity is important to me. I only use my phone for calls, google maps, and for looking at news, instagram and reddit! I take a few pictures on it. I am thinking I should upgrade handset because the phone is now pretty old, the screen is a bit scratched, and they suddenly go wrong and then I'll be sorry! I have had a Samsung for years, am 55 years old, and don't want to get something I will struggle to use. I'm not totally dumb with technology, and I can use an iphone if anyone thinks that would be better, but I keep seeing things like Google Pixel phones, and I'm not sure what the best thing is to do? Can anyone help?

Based in Ireland. So I'm on the look out for a new phone. My main requirements are:

• A top quality camera.
• A strong battery.
• A good performing phone.
• A screen size of at least 6.6' (This may rule out a number of potential candidates)

To add to the above, I mainly just use the phone for taking pics when out & about and everyday use. Now below, I'm going to suggest a few options. A number are close to the €1000 number. I'll willing to spend that if it's worth it but id happily go for the cheaper options listed if they will suit me as good as the others.

I've narrowed my options down to a few

1. Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra 256gb - (Can get this for €1249.99 but it comes with a free Galaxy Tab S6 lite worth roughly €439)

Just wondering if 256gb is a bit small for a phone worth that much.

2. Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra - Looks like a top phone but isn't much cheaper than the s24 Ultra above so not really worth it imo.

3. OnePlus 12 - Looks very good but I've seen some saying the camera isn't great and I've never used a phone worth a curved screen.

4. OnePlus 12r - Looks very good for the price.

5. Xiaomi 13t Pro - Looks a quality phone for the price. Currently using a Xiaomi and wasn't massively impressed with the user experience but it doesn't mean, id not buy another.

6. Pixel 8 Pro/Any pixel option. - I know the cameras are top quality but they seem to be struggling in the battery/processor side of things.

I'm coming from a Redmi Note 10 Pro and I've been happy with the camera, battery and performance of it so I'm guessing any of the above will be a step up anyway.

Thanks

hello! i’m a 🤡 iphone user looking to switch to android, and i’m immediately overwhelmed with options. help?

i’d like to get a secondhand phone rather than buy a new one, so i’m looking for a model with longevity in mind. i also watch a ton of videos/listen to podcasts on my phone, so battery life is a priority, as is a 3.5mm headphone jack (though i won’t die without one). i’m not worried about the camera. i’d also prefer a smaller size phone, but if it’s a toss up, battery life wins over size. i’m looking for something under $500, ideally, but there’s some flexibility.

if i need to add more information, please lmk!!

Hello everyone,

I'm on the lookout for a Samsung smartphone under 500 Euros, though I'm flexible on the budget if necessary, but like the maximum I can do is 600.

The urgency arises from my mom's phone, which started showing signs of imminent failure. I mean that phone is from 2015 I think, so yeah, that's understandable. So I need to find a replacement based on her criteria, but I'm not that tech-savyy with smartphones. Her primary criteria revolves around a good camera, umh.. storage space?, long battery life, and a good display.

Ideally, I would like her to get a phone equipped with a Snapdragon CPU. I tend to steer clear of Samsung phones with Exynos processors (reasons), but I'm willing to reconsider if the situation with Exynos has improved.

I already did some digging myself, but maybe you have something to say..
Samsung Galaxy A55 128GB - 325 Euros
Samsung Galaxy S22 Exynos variant 5G 128GB - 460 Euros
Samsung Galaxy S23 5G 128GB - 570 Euros
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G 128GB - 510 Euros

Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I need your input love iPhone but android there's so much more, and no restrictions,. please help me decide, thank you

Can anyone recommend me a phone that has a good camera and can game within the budget of 400-500USD? PHILIPPINES

I have been thinking of buying a phone. I currently use Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G (6/128 GB). I have been thinking of the best phone for me and have come up to only 2 options, zenfone 10 and s23. Also, my A52s has been great for me and it has had pretty good performance and photos so i dont require much but i do like the best i can get.

So, which is the best for me? (i basically only care about gaming performance and battery life and design)

My budget is set at maximum of RM1500. I also plan on using the phone to play several high end video game, so that's also another consideration

I'm planning to buy one of these. S23 ULTRA 256 GB costs 930€ while S24 ultra 256 GB is 1190€ where I live. My main focus is the camera system. Is S24 ultra worth the extra money?

Hi everyone,

After the death of my pixel 4a, I bought a pixel 7a.

It's a good phone, but I f***ing hate the underscreen fingerprint sensor. It work 50% of the time, and I have to lick my finger to make it work when my skin is dry 🙄 I never had this issue with the back sensor on the 4a.

I'm so close to buy an iPhone with FaceID even if I don't like iOS.

So, have you a smartphone with good camera and fingerprint sensor on the back or the side button to recommand ?

Thanks !

Hey guys , I coud really use some advice. My budget is around 50kINR, and I'm looking for a phone that offers great performance, camera quality, and battery life in India.I've been researching a few options, but I'd love to hear from you all about your recommendations and personal experiences. Whether it's a flagship model or a hidden gem, I'm open to any suggestions.

Some features I value:

Smooth performance for multitasking and gaming

Excellent camera capabilities for capturing memories

Long-lasting battery life to keep me powered throughout the day

Preferably a sleek design with a modern display So, what phones do you think I should consider? Any pros and cons you'd like to share? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

Current iPhone user looking to make the jump to Android. After suggestions and a lot of research the Redmi Note 13 range looks on paper to be an excellent value phone. I’ve watched quite a few reviews that sing the phones praises.

However, online discussions I’ve found that are just normal users seem to have a large potion of people complaining the phone is laggy and slow, and gets too hot, which is not what I’m hearing in the reviews.

I should state I’m seeing these discussions on Chinese social media so not sure if there is different experiences for the phones in different markets but I’ll be going to China in May and if I do go the Xiaomi route I can pick one up much cheaper there than here in the UK.

I would love to hear from those of you with experience with this range of phones, which model you think is best, or even any alternatives that are similar price range.

Budget around 200-300.

I don't care about the camera, i do not take photos.

I do not game in my phone, at most I casualy play clash royale or chess. 99% of time i'm on telegram/twitter/instagram/google maps/spotify.

Good gps is a plus, I often use mapy/waze/googlemaps.

Good battery is a plus, but if i can charge it fast is fine. One day of battery is ok for me, i do not watch netfllix so often on it.

I would like a brand that does not abandon their users after 2 years, so something like the google pixel or samsung update policy would be nice.

I value a lot that the smartphone is small. I currently have a poco x3 nfc and apart from not being updated i find it too big.

Thanks
