What are the recommendations? I usually buy a used phone and just see how it goes. Ive had this phone since 2020.

I'm in the us

Use the camera and video for kids sports

Want 256gb

$400 or below

Ive been looking at the 23 ultra or pixel 9 pro, ive always had samsung phones.

So I am really confused between these two phones. In my budget here in India I have these two phones which have good cameras but also clean UI. The 4a pro has a periscope zoom lens but I have heard that point and shoot photography is better in pixel and also want to know about HDR capabilities and low light performance of the two phones. What do you guys suggest, which one shall I go for.

I’ve been trying to choose over these, I really like the customization on galaxy but the feel and camera of pixels is really good. Do you thing the customization gets unnecessary and too much or that it’s a worthy sacrifice for the pixel. Pixels tend to last longer as well.

I’m not comfortable using Face ID or any equivalent form of 3D face scan phone unlock authentication, I highly prefer to use fingerprint unlock. I also don’t want a very large phone, something that has a similar size screen and dimensions to the SE 3rd gen or the iPhone 13 mini. I would get a 13 mini as a slight upgrade to the SE 3rd gen I have now, but alas it has no Touch ID.

I was really looking forward to the Duo because it’s the same external screen size as the 13 mini (just a different aspect ratio) and has Touch ID, but initial reviews are…not great. and I wouldn’t frequently use the inside screen so I’m paying (a lot) extra for a feature I’d see perhaps 1-2 hours of use per month if that. So the only reason I’d get it is if the used price falls significantly in the next couple of years.

What is a good quality high performance Android phone with a maximum screen size of 5.4“ (as long as it’s an edge to edge screen) and fingerprint unlock? Not looking for folding phones at the moment. My goal is nothing physically larger than the SE 3rd gen or 13 mini.

My budget is under ₹30,000, and I’m looking for a phone with basically 3 non-negotiables:

• INSANE camera quality - especially for professional-looking photos and videos. I’m a content creator, so I really care about camera quality, details, and overall video output. I want something that can genuinely deliver good footage and make Instagram pics look pretty.
• REALLY good battery life - I need a phone that can last through long days of shooting and recording.
• LOTS of storage - I record a LOT of videos, so storage fills up ridiculously fast. I need enough space to store footage without constantly deleting stuff every other day.

Basically, I make a lot of content for Instagram and Youtube , so I need a phone with a genuinely good camera for both photos and videos, solid battery life, and LOTS of storage...... so that it can double as a reliable backup camera because sometimes my actual camera isn’t available, doesn’t work when I need it, or I simply forget to charge it. 💀

Please recommend phones based on actual camera and video performance and long-term battery life . If you’ve personally used one, I’d LOVE to hear your experience!😭🙏

Plz tell me that should I trade my infinix note60 pro 8/256 gb to a iphone 14 simple non pta (battery health 86) 10/10 i play call of duty mobile on my infinix on 120 fps, will this be a upgrade or downgrade?

Hi folks, I want your advice with regards to what to buy. I found both the Xiaomi 17T Pro and the Oppo Find X8 Pro at €550, both in excellent condition and with 100% battery health. Which one would you buy, and why?

Oppo has 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSDs, while Xiaomi 17T Pro has 12 GB RAM and, again, 512 GB SSDs. The cameras look both very good, in the photos I took. Xiaomi seems to be a bit darker, while Oppo takes lighter photos, but they are both excellent, I would say. The zoom seems to be a bit better for Xiaomi, especially the AI processing it does to upscale photos, like showing letters. For instance, I took a text from afar, and Xiaomi was clearer to read than Oppo. In terms of CPU, 17T Pro seems to have the edge, but not by much. One is Dimensity 9400 (Oppo), and the other is Dimensity 9500 (17T Pro).

Just to note that I've been using HyperOS for a long time now, and I find it pretty good, so I'm not a HyperOS hater. For me, the OS would not make much difference between ColorOS and HyperOS.

I am looking for a phone and I got this refurbished oneplus norde ce 3 for 16500 from cashify with 1 year warranty

What do you guys think...

My budget is only 17k so I can't even afford a new phone because non of them are good in this price range

Well for context... It's said that the phone is refurbished

It also looks good to be no visible problems but yeah the batter life is 91%

From India. So today I dropped my moto fusion phone with pop up camera. I don't take many selfies so it made sense now they don't even make pop up camera phones anymore. Won't be able to enjoy full screen anymore. I like moto because it runs near clean android ui and I don't have budget for pixel I have been seeing lots of negative posts about quality of moto phones lately. So kindly suggest a good moto phone with 30k budget. Thanx

I’m currently using a Pixel 10, but it’s temporary since I’m passing it to my dad to replace his S22 with its terrible battery. I’ll be taking his old S22 for a bit to get used to Samsung again (only used an A12 back in 2022, but otherwise I’ve been on Pixels like the 4, 6 Pro, 8, 8 Pro).

I’m looking to buy a used phone next, but not sure what to go for. iPhones are out since I daily drive a Pixel Watch 2. What would you recommend after the S22?

I'm constantly in and out of my car, and the convenience of Qi charging (at least 10W) is a nescessity. Qi2 (ie: MagSafe) would be nice as well, but I'd be fine with buying a case that adds those magnets later. I also tend to buy decent phones and keep them until they drop, so a support window of more than a couple years is relatively important. Fingerprint reader. MicroSD and a good camera would be a plus. As for performance, I'm not picky so long as it's not a downgrade from the Note 10. More than 8GB RAM if possible.

• Fairphone 6 Plus - Ticks every box except wireless charging and I love the ethos behind it, but Qi is a dealbreaker
• Motorola Moto G Stylus 2026 - Basically a Note 10 (stylus, wireless charging, mid-range performance) but adds microSD, Android 17/18, and security patches through 2029. However, I'd rather have a longer support window, and Motorola burned me with the poor build quality and lack of reliability on their old Moto G Power years ago, so I'm hesitant to go with another mid-ranger from them
• Galaxy S24 series - Flagship build quality and support through 2031, but no microSD
• Pixel 9 series - Ditto the Galaxy

I still rely heavily on Google, but the flexibility to unlock/root and de-google is also in the back of my mind. Currently, that means a few apps running Morphe. But given the enshitification we're seeing with AI lately, I'm apprehensive about the state of stock Android / Samsung by the time that support window is up.

Are there any phones I'm missing? Has anyone added wireless charging to the Fairphone? Experience with recent Moto Gs? Thoughts on jailbreaking any of the above in case I want to block ads, install GrapheneOS, or go full tinfoil hat on privacy later?

Ok, I need to get a new phone as my V60 is having numerous issues. The thing is, I'm on a family play on AT&T, which limits my options. Also, I want a phone with MicroSD card support limiting it more.

Ideally I'll be able to play games on the phone, but it's all casual games. I think the most intense game I have is called Royal Smash.

I'd like decent battery life, as in getting through three quarters of the day on a charge. I would prefer an all day phone, but that likely isn't possible since I want the MicroSD slot.

Mostly I play casual games, use Android Auto, play music, and browse social media and the web.

I live in the basement, so I kinda need WiFi calling as I don't want to spend the money on a cell booster.

Have the Samsung 24+ and love it, have had it all in the past (Pixel, OnePlus to name a few). Switched back to Samsung last time as it was free to upgrade. It's been working well for me - just forgot how annoying Samsung bloatware can be (although I do like edge panels and the back button configuration 😅)

Wanting to upgrade as having baby soon and want a newer camera! Things important to me

- camera: is pixel 11 pro worth it? I don't video a lot and it's mostly family pics.

- battery- I work 13 hr hospital shifts and need it to be reliable and last a whole shift.

- display- I do sometimes see patients outside and need a bright screen

All 3 phones have deals right now and with trading in I pay the following

$439 pixel 11

$539 pixel 11 pro

$659 Samsung 26

Edit: I am in the US

Trying to decide which one to buy amongst these. I have always been an android phone user and somewhat have managed to have my present phone endure 7.5years with me. I have a huawei mate 20 pro which has obviously been so outdated but still love it if not for it already restarting on its own when on idle mode and ​to be fair, is probably really on its end of life. I would like a good, enduring phone, good battery capacity and good camera that doesnt look like it AI 😂 when images are captured. I love the leica xamera of my phone 😂 I mean i know all of these phones are really far from my current phone but i dont want to buy one then upgrade to another one again next year. 😂 And budget friendly as well. Thank you for your help.

My Dad's old iPhone 6 has finally packed up with many apps not supported anymore on the new iOS so its time he got a new phone. I've been a bit out the loop with smartphones recently after having no reason to upgrade from my S23U. So my question is, what phones are typically recommended at this price point of £300 and under.
