My main usage will be gaming and regular daily usage, i don't care about the camera that much. The Neo7 performs much better than the Nord 4, but im worried about long-term performance as i've seen people say their Realme phones have slowed down after a year or two of usage, unlike Oneplus phones which focus a lot on long-term performance. I plan on getting one phone and using it for a few years, so long-term performance matters a lot to me. I'd also like to know if there's another phone with similar or better performance in the same price segment (they both cost ~$440-$480 here)
I have a budget of INR 35000 I have made several selections but I can't pick out the best from that. What do I do?
My initial choices are:- iQOO neo 9 pro, nothing phone 2A, Redmi 14 pro+.
Help me decide which one to pick. I'm open to your suggestions too
So I need something with a big battery. I was about to get a pixel 9 however it's pricey and I do not need that sort of hardware.
I am also sporting an iphone mini 12 hence something smallish would be ideal.
I don't like Samung as a brand.
Looking to upgrade from samsung
Hi everyone!
my wife and I are looking to upgrade our phones, I have a Samsung a52, and she has a Samsung a53
We had them since release year, and they started to slow down in the recent year. Apps load time and camera app are annoyingly slow.
So we're looking to replace them. For me: pixel 9 (I want a very good camera, simple and not bloated UI and long support, I don't game as much, so I don't need the best cpu) For her: Iphone 15 or Samsung s24 (wants the best camera while not buying the last new overpriced phone, also she has a MacBook, so maybe she will benefit from integration?)
What do you think about my choices? What should I choose for my wife?
Will oneplus service centre replace me screen replacement for free or give oneplus 11r will back glass effect the phone replacement??. I have changed my phone back with a original back from unothorized shop. Can someone please tell I wanna know my back glass broke almost 1.5 year later and green line issue just came yesterday. Pls tell. Even I have no dents at all flawless condition and the back glass even look like it's been replaced
I have a samsung s22 right now. I have had it for a little over 2 years now, and lately, it has been getting hot and laggy, so I decided to get a new phone. I was looking at maybe getting a pixel 7 or above, a nothing phone 2 or the cmf phone 1. So im asking what phone should I get or are there any phones recommended? I want a newer phone than mine. it needs to be cheap. I can only spend 500. I was thinking of getting a refurbished phone as I'm in canada and it's expensive here.
Hi I'm looking for a good phone that can last a while... That's good for gaming, calling, battery life and software. I was contemplating to go for the iphone 15 but im not sure yet... I want good cameras aswell, but if everything is just a alright its okay. I hope this is enough for maybe a Good phone? Please update me thank you! I'm from malaysia aswell if that makes a difference
Hello,
To keep things short, I have an iphone XS since 2020, and although I love the camera on this phone, the battery is really, really bad right now. I have tried a s22+ and s23+ and though they were good overall (I'm not stuck on apple ecosystem or anything) the camera software on samsung and the overall too big size of them made me go back to my trusty xs.
I was looking into cheaper options, but it seems like every phone I see is 6.6' + and that's why I was considering a flip phone, but the overall durability and fear of bad camera quality are keeping me from diving in.
In my budget I have an eye on the oppo find n2 flip or the motorola razr 50. Does anyone have any experience with the or can suggest something different?
Thank you!
Hello everyone,
My Samsung A72 is getting slow and buggy. I'm tired of this constant lag and decided to switch from a mid tier phone to a flagship.
Right now I'm thinking between S24U and S25U when it comes out. Which one should I choose? Will the price S24U drop after the S25U releases?
I am also open to other suggestions. I'm mainly looking for longevity and superb performance and a nice camera would also be appreciated. I was thinking about an Iphone, but don't want to make the switch to ios.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Thank you!
Okay so I currently have a iPhone 13 and I feel like I’m not as satisfied as I was before. Granted it could be because it’s a small phone and I’ve always had bigger phones before this one but I’ve had an android before that I did enjoy so much too. Can someone just convince me to stick with iPhone? I do use Apple Music, I also use iCloud too. I will say that I have an iPad and possibly plan on getting a Mac as well but would be willing to change all of that. I also have a lot of family and friends that use apple too. Is there a difference when it comes to messaging between iPhone and android like reactions for instance? What about the apps? Which one works better at the moment with apps? What software is better? Compare the latest iPhone to the latest android which one is better? Is there a convenience to either phones? Does Apple Music work just as good on android compared to iPhone because I don’t want to switch back to Spotify. I have so many thoughts that I can’t fully decide which one would be worth it and I need some help please!
Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus for half the price of iPhone 16 Plus or Pro?
Which one would you get?
Hi!! I know there are better options but right now i can only choose between those two products: Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 and Samsung Galaxy A05.
I intend to use them just for social media and communication (calls, whatsapp,etc) so i don't really care of heavy performance. However i've seen a lot of bad reviews particularly about redmi note 12. So it would be awesone if someone can give an opinion about it. Thanks!
I will need a new phone soon because I want OS security updates (they have been stopped for quite some time for the Note 9).
About my current phone:
Please pick me a phone.
I desperately need a phone upgrade I am a university student and my iPhone 11 has to be constantly plugged into a battery backup to get through the day witch really isn't a option for me, it often dies ever day becasue of this. I have always wanted to try a android and the S25 will probably be a better than the 16 pro max but I don't know if I can wait that long. Is it worth waiting for the s25 or should I just get the iPhone now? The main reason I would wait for the Samsung would be for the s pen for doing work on the bus and the fact that I have a windows labtop/pc.
I'm hoping to get a new phone in the Black Friday deals as my current phone is completely full of storage and getting slow, unreliable etc. I saw that I could get the Samsung A55 for £350 with black friday/young person deal but then I read that the camera isn't great and I'd like a good enough camera so I'm wondering if I stretch my budget a bit and go for an S range.
I don't want to spend more than £450 but it's been about 6 years since I bought a phone so maybe that isn't possible?
My requirements:
I would appreciate some steering in the right direction as I don't really know what I'm looking at!
Doesn't have to be Samsung but does need to be Android.
I'm in the UK
TIA 😊
Hello guys,
I want your opinion on what phones should I buy between Samsung galaxy s24 and Google pixel 8.
The Samsung I can get for 585€ and the pixel for 485€ (both 8gb ram and 256gb storage). There is also the pixel 8 pro and s24+ (both 12gb ram and 256gb storage) which I can at the same more or less price of 650. My plan is to keep whichever I get as long as possible that's why those phones are the ones I'm considering,but also money is important to me as already feel that these prices are high for me (I was thinking of buying something at 400-430 max). So what is the best and why? And what's best value for money?
Hello everyone 👋
I would really appreciate your help in selecting between the following:
I'm the type of person who uses their phone for a long time. My last Samsung was a Galaxy S9 and I used it throughout all 5 years of Uni. ❤️
Besides that the most I do on my phone is
I don't play games on my phone but would like something that has a Good Battery Life, Takes clear pictures and won't Lag overtime.
The 24 FE is gonna get 7 years of Software Updates 😍. But it's the most expensive on the list 🫤
The S23 FE is what I'm currently thinking of buying but I've heard bad things about it's Battery life and possibly overheating. 😰
Honestly, I can save a good bit of money by buying the A55, but I don't want to buy it simply because it's cheaper. I'm not sure how we'll it's gonna hold up over time 😭. It does have the biggest battery tho 🔋
Right now I'm thinking of getting the S23 FE. Not exactly Flagship but not Budget either. I checked online and they say it's gonna be supported till October 2028.
What do you guys think? 🧐
Please let me know.
Hi, so we're looking for a phone for mom, the top priority is the software support. Then it should have a good battery, display and camera. The budget is upto 450$.
So do you have any recommendations in this range?
Also, as Google and Samsung say 7 years, will the phone really go for that long without any issues? I mean is that advantage of pixel and the S series really worth overlooking other phones?
We're hoping for pixel 8a and S24FE prices to drop during black friday or for the S24 when they'll launch the S25 series in January. I have read about the Exynos processors but since there would be no heavy usage it should be fine right?
I have no idea where to start when it comes to gaming processors so I'm asking for some advice. So far, my option is a Xiaomi Note 13 but maybe there are much better
Hi everyone, I’m considering buying the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. With the trade-in of my Galaxy S22, a student discount, and a coupon in-cart, I can get it for less than €700.
I’m wondering if it’s worth taking advantage of this offer now or waiting for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. I know the S25 might bring some improvements, but I’m not sure if it’ll justify spending more than what I could pay right now. As a very active social media user, I really value the cameras and overall performance.
Is anyone else in the same situation? What would you recommend I do?
Thanks for the advice!
Hi! So I’ve owned my Xiaomi Redmi 10 for 5 years now and it’s starting to disintegrate after 5 years of use. For the most part it’s been fine, I can make phone calls and watch YouTube and whatnot, and the battery is mostly great. But it doesn’t work anymore after last update. For context, I am an archaeology undergraduate, and I have to take a lot of pictures of artefacts, most of the time in ambient museum lighting, and I want a phone that won’t skew the detail or colours too much, which is to me as important (if not more) than the number of MP it has. Here are my criteria:
So TL;DR: battery life 7 to 8 hours and more, fast charging, USB-C port, good camera algorithm, NFC, long-lasting software, 375€ max. Does anything exist that might fit my needs?
I want to buy a new phone I am upgrading from moto g73 5g to compact flagship phone I have three options galaxy s23, galaxy s24(Exynos), and pixel 9 I am having problem deciding which, I like the design of pixel better but s24 offers more performence I don't do heavy gaming just 1 or 2 hour of BGMI, Price is not a concern but I want more value for money so it's really tough for me which one should I buy in the upcoming Flipkart big billion days
Debating on which used phone to get:
the s23 and 13mini are $300
the 12 and pixel are $245
I don't play games or need fancy stuff - just care about the camera and video quality
My beloved and perfectly working Galaxy S10 sadly fell in the toilets and died yesterday.
I'm not playing at all, mainly listening to music, watching YouTube several hours a day, using WhatsApp and doom scrolling on Instagram and Reddit.
Things I value the most are battery life, fluidity and good screen and Bluetooth codecs.
Ideally I'd love induction charging because I always end up breaking the charging port one way or another.
My budget is... As low as possible. Below 500 for sure, ideally below 300, and I live in France.
Thanks!
I don't care about the camera, I don't care about it being thin or lightweight, frankly I don't even care that much about call quality.
Main use case for this phone is tethering for Internet via PDANet. This means it stays plugged in and overcharging often, which does the battery no favors and makes a replaceable one a huge plus.
Then it's just a few fairly lightweight apps, and the other most demanding use is I may watch Netflix from it occasionally.
As the title says, I don't really know which one to choose. On the one hand I like the Pixel for the camera and portability, but on the other I prefer the Xiaomi because of the hardware. However, I am afraid of the battery life and processor of the Pixel, and the OS of the Xiaomi. So, what would you do? I'd really appreciate some advice and I'm open to other suggestions :)
I can buy both of them for 400 euros.
Hello Everyone,
I am well aware that phones for macro photos is far from ideal. The thing is that most of the macro photos I take are spontaneous, I don't go looking for the object, I just run into it. Which means that I can't be always walking around with a lens.
That is why I am looking for a phone that can take macro photos, but photos that have that macro effect, that feels really close to the object(really close up marco)
The price of the phone does not matter, but I want it to be at least mid-range to flagship at performance and to be released in 2023-2024.
I would love if you can share photos made with the suggested phone.
Thank you in advance.
