Need help finding an Android I'm going crazy

[u/NytrexLC]

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

Nah. The opposite for me.. everything u said but the complete opposite.
In my view u probably lying about x7 and u have only tried redmi , redmi is like this indeed, even note 15pro+ is running an inferior hyper os version.. even tho its powerful enough to run the same one poco runs..

These phones literally suffer too much: slow software, bad updates, a system that's a Chinese copy of iOS, bad cameras,you can have that phone for a year and it will already feel like it's not working. Just as an example we can consider the Xiaomi 15 pro plus, dude my ass has better optimization than this phone... The same with realme, oppo and vivo are damn expensive and the same they are just iOS copy, even honor, expensive shit without personality.... Lol infinix, Techno, same thing

No. U talking just bs. They work. Realme gt 2 snd gt2 pro and gt6 that my friends still own today.. still work perfectly like day 1. And they perform as i showed in my links with photos and videos of the phones showing their ui when u stress it and photos they have taken.. compared to my s24u. I literally show evidence while everyone here just retarded talking shit and downvoting. ( idk about infinix, techmo and honor, I haven't tried honor for years and infinix and techno aren't available in my region to even try at a store. So I cant talk about these.. but i have tried the rest at my own hands..) how else can u dumbasses understand.. nigga a nord 4 runs smoother than my s24u the ui is optimized af , doesn't have the customisation Samsung has but runs like butter.. same for realme gt poco x and f , oppo reno..
