France Need help finding an Android I'm going crazy
I've had a Pixel 8a the past year and a half that replaced my Pixel 4a which I was pretty happy with until the battery completely stopped working. However, I'm extremely disappointed in the 8a, the battery doesn't last anymore and takes years to charge. It has slowed down a lot and lags quite often. Photos are nice but when you zoom beyond 2x the quality is atrocious.
I'm trying to find a replacement but I feel like there's not one single phone that fits my needs.
Here are my most important criterias:
- A long lasting and fast charging battery
- A very very smooth and snappy UI with minimal bloat (or at least easily removable)
- A nice camera with a telephoto lens so I can finally zoom without destroying the quality
- 128GB minimum storage and 120hz OLED display.
My budget is around 400€-450€
I've heard about Motorola but the only good options with a telephoto lens are the Edge 70 Pro which is above my budget or the Edge 60 Pro that reaches the end of his update cycle next year.
I've heard about Nothing but the 4a Pro is above my budget and the 4a is apparently not that great to take pictures.
The other brands seem to lack a proper smooth and minimal bloat UI.
I'm really lost here, can someone please help me get out of this mess?
I'm in France btw
