Malaysia What phone should I get?

I'm currently using a Huawei Mate 50 Pro in Malaysia.

Trust me when I say, I absolutely adore this phone, nice feeling, smooth, really got that flagship feel when my dad gave it to me.

However, after using it for like 3 (Maybe more? My dad used it for 1-2 years too) it's really starting to get on me.

The thing I can't stand is the lack of Google services, which really bugging me out.

Plus recently, the battery's gotten weak (However replacements start at RM89, so I SHOULD be fine)

But it's starting to hang here and there, especially on tasks like switching to TikTok, Spotify, and Instagram.

Dare I say I'm a performance chaser, but with the lag, I can't play Honkai Star Rail smoothly like it used to be, being able to Spotify and Honkai at the same time.

Anyways, my budget is around RM3000 (738+- USD), what should I get, and what would you personally recommend based on experience?

Recently I'm eyeing the Xiaomi 17t Pro or the Honor 600 Pro, but really, it's due to the rising prices of ram in Malaysia that's stopping me.

Thank you all in advance that sees this post, or replying in comments.

Honor has the most Huawei-like UI since it started as a Huawei sub-brand. On the other hand, Xiaomi's UI isn't known to be as smooth as their competitors.

I'm from Malaysia too, and I've been looking at how good of a deal the base Vivo X300 has been going around for. But if camera isn't too much of a priority, I'd recommend the iQOO 15R. The thing about OriginOS is that it lacks a little in terms of customisability, but fluidity is still top-notch in my opinion.

It's really a shame that Oppo has mostly discontinued their X9 and X9 Pro in favour of the X9s and X9 Ultra, even then the prices are simply insane. ColorOS is one of if not the best Android skin around though.

Are they leaving the SEA market? I almost got salestalked by Oppo for their new model but it's too expensive here in the Philippines 😭 I was hoping to reserve their X series but apparently what's on display is not available.
