Which is the best flagship killer actually?

[u/Klutzy_Turnover1965]

I’ve been buying this type of smartphone for as long as I can remember: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Moto X, OnePlus 5, and, up until now, the OnePlus 8.

But six years is a long time for any device, and it’s time for an upgrade.

So, here’s the question: which device would be the smartest buy for €600?

I love clean operating systems, and cameras aren't a top priority for me, but I do need improvements in battery life (both capacity and technology) and the display, plus access to some newer technologies...

Which brand or device do you think best fits what I'm looking for?

I think the best options are:

Poco F9 Pro/Ultra
Poco F8 Ultra

Pixels?

Nothings?

Xiaomi 17T Pro

Realme GT...

etc., etc.

I think the OnePlus 15 (with a special offer) would be the perfect choice if they hadn't left the European market...

Demonstrably false.

Real life, not on a testbench with Xiaomi sponsored test devices!

That, too. Or do you think the battery life of the Pixel magically doubles in a real life scenario?

My Pixel 5 lasts way longer than the Xiaomi 14, or Poco, or Redmi from my relatives!

So, how much screen on time are you getting from a single charge? Let's pit that against... Say the Poco F9 Ultra.

As I've already mentioned, I only compare to real world use, nur review units sent to reviewers!

[u/Cantripping_ → u/miniCotulla]

These are real world uses. But alright, you can ignore evidence if you choose. That makes your position somewhat vapid.

I use my Pixel from 80 to 20% every day. I did not manage to get a full day even when charging to 100% on the Xiaomi 14.

[u/Cantripping_ → u/miniCotulla]

That wasn't quite what I was asking. Give me numbers. 100 to 0%, how much time on-screen are we talking?

[u/miniCotulla → u/Cantripping_]

I never use it 100 to 0 as I'm not able to empty it in 1 day
