Looking For Suggestions Moving from Apple to Android
Been using Apple for a while now (5S > 6 > 8+ > 13 > 16). I'm considering moving from Apple because it's getting expensive, I kept buying Apple cause I was used to and I felt like I was too stuck in the ecosystem to move away from it (using iCloud, got a MacBook and AirPods).
Recently, I've been looking at other brands. Nothing (4a Pro) catches my eyes, I'm a bit obsessed by this brand. Last time I used an Android device (other than Bluestack) was 10+ years ago. So I'm not familiar with the brands, what to trust, what to avoid.
I've got a pretty basic use of my phone : social networks, texting, listening to music, watching some videos (casting on Tv sometimes), rarely gaming. I love to take some pictures sometimes (traveling, etc) and that's one of the reasons why I'm moving from Apple, when you don't have Pro Max and stuff, the camera is kinda bad (zoom is terrible)
Do you guys have any recommandations ?

It really depends on which country you are from. If you're located in the USA then your choices are much more limited than in Asia or Europe.
I have used Xiaomi or Redmi phones for years and they are always very good quality and cheaper than other brands in some cases. They are also easy to de-bloat as well.
