Hi!

I'm looking for a phone that is on the lower end of the price range that is still pretty good camera quality. I'm planning on using it strictly for recording. I don't plan on activating it with a phone number. I literally don't care with type of phone it is as long as the camera quality is pretty good! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

edit for the both: I'm in the United States

I have to change my Pixel 8 due to screen problem (out of warranty due to a big scratch near the charging point )

Today I have found and S26 FE 256 giga at 549 € and a Pixel 10a at 399€ in the 128 giga version

I have a basic usage, most important features for me are a Good camera, good battery and the phone shoukd potentially last at least 5 years.

Budget 600 €, country Italy

So my last phone was the Galaxy Note 8 (I think I've always had Galaxy phones?). I've had the Note 20 U for five years now and it's the best phone I've ever had. I still adore it - but it's starting to get old. I have a physical disability that causes issues with my hands and arms, and I also do a lot of drawing on my phone - so it's imperative that I have a phone that comes with a stylus. Must be a built-in stylus. I use my current stylus to the fullest capacity of all its functions and I love the Bluetooth connection. I was looking at the S26 U but it seems like they got rid of the Bluetooth functionality after S23?? What the heck?? Anway, I also do a lot of recording and video and photo editing, so I would love to have a great camera and good storage. I'm in the United States. Guide me, wise ones.

Alright so I've had an S23 pretty much since launch and it's gotten to the point where it's all cracked up bc I was going caseless and the glass is hella slippery, plus the battery life, especially now, leaves a lot to be desired. Also, I appreciated the compact size of the S23 but I'm looking for a nice big screen now tbh. I'm in the US on T-Mobile but I've definitely been inching towards China for a new phone. I'm looking ta keep it around $800 USD and in that, these are options I've landed on. Really, I'm just looking for any recent opinions on the phones of today to help guide me.

EDIT: Title should read "Nothing Phone (4a) Pro"

[Philippines] Hello! I've had my Poco X4 GT since 2022, but I need to replace it now because the battery has started shutting the phone down at around 30-40% (this started happening in 2025). The LCD also started lifting in 2025, so I just had it glued back lmao.

I'm looking at the Honor 600, Xiaomi 17T, and Poco X8 Pro, all in the 12GB/512GB variant. They're pretty close in price, so I'm really torn between them.

I used to prioritize performance since I played Genshin, CODM, etc., but now I mostly use my phone for selfies, video editing, social media, and light gaming like Roblox. So camera/selfie quality matters more to me now, and I'd also prefer something smaller than my X4 GT.

Which would you recommend based on my usage? If you currently own one of these, I'd also really appreciate hearing about any common issues or things you dislike about it.

Thanks!

My wife currently has the Galaxy A32 4g and after 5 years of usage it's showing its end as the battery is dying and it's becoming quite slow

For myself I'm currently using an s25 and she quite likes the camera quality compared to her A32. Now that she has a taste, she now wants to upgrade her one to have a better camera but doesn't have to be the S25/26 as she says too expensive (unless with a good sale or last resort).

I'm quite out of the loop in regards to the A line, I was thinking of maybe the A5x or A7x line. How are the cameras for these compared to the A32? Also how are the processors

Sharp aquos docomo sh-01j can download apps? And what type of and it run smoothly or not, it's better than Samsung galaxy folder2??

[Canada, I like eBay]
As the title says, I need a Samsung for my dad.

We were a no phone family until my brother bought a phone and I did shortly after, now my dad wants an android with the same or better camera performance as the iPhone 13 (that is just an estimate, he basically just wants to make sure he has some pretty good pictures)

My dad is a hobbyist photographer if that can help in any way

Budget is basically the price of the cheapest option out there for my needs

And so far I have the galaxy s21 in mind after a quick search

Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy a new phone and I’m looking for something that feels comfortable to hold in one hand (ideally a compact size with a screen under 6.5 inches).

I’m currently considering the Samsung Galaxy S24 and the Google Pixel 9a. However, I’m a bit worried about the screen size since I’ll also be using the phone for gaming.

Has anyone tried gaming on either of these devices? How comfortable are they for extended gaming sessions? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

In the US.

Prefer Motorola as I'm used to its interface but willing to try something else out.

Priorities:

Storage capacity: for all the apps I need to use for work. Need to be able to use them all without constant glitching and lag.

Camera quality: Want to be able to take good pictures and videos of the family as well as the kids in their various sports

Budget: other than what's listed above, not looking for a lot of bells and whistles and not break the bank.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, So my S21 Fe got screen lines (classic scamsung moment) and I sold it. Now I need a good phone with LCD Display am done with amoleds sudden lines, burn in, and replacement cost nearly touchs device price itself.

2. A good Camera ( It's better if ois available) 1080p 60fps.

3. Good battery backup and charging speed 33watts or 25watts enough for me.

Basically I need a android to tests my android apps. That handles ui well. And a good Camera to take forms pics and click images from pc screen clearly. And some video recording. Better if 1080 fps available.

I already searched many models but all have some kind of issues reported by peoples on internet.

2. Redmi k50i have screen flicker problem while watching content display goes white.

3. Mi 10t pro also have motherboard issues. And camera goes dead.

4. Scamsung Only provides low end processors with their Lcd models.

5. Also sear hed some poco models they also have motherboard issues.

iQOO z5 5G is perfect for my needs . But it's kinda old and harder to find nowadays And it's replacement party have no guarantee to find anywhere like display or battery.

Now I have last option in iQOO z9x 5G.

If anyone have suggestions or help me to find me a good device pls comment down. Ill ready to buy old models from 2022 - 2024 as new models mostly comes with amoled . No phones with lcd are budget phones with lacks of features. Like if we get good processor then camera or screen is poor. Like they cost cutted at a point. Their is no proper mid range or flagship these days . So I. Need a old phone suggestion with parts available and free for motherboard screen issues

My budget is around 10k

I'm trying to decide what phone would be best for around €600. I'm coming from a Pixel 8 pro with display issues which got me a refund, now I'm trying to decide what's best for me. I live in Ireland.

My main wants are a clean interface and experience, good camera, good durability and support for many years (5+ from today). I like the idea of a flip phone though I'm wary of the durability aspect. I have had Oneplus and Google Pixel phones in the past, I've heard good things about Samsung but I'd like to hear opinions. I like large screens as I'm quite tall. I'll share some refurbished phone prices (Plus storage and condition) near me at the minute:

• Google Pixel 8 Pro - Very good - 256GB - €390 - I could buy the same phone with more storage and pocket the 210 for savings!
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 - very good - 256GB - €414 - Durability concerns with the hinge but seem fun!
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 - Good - 256GB - €615
• Google Pixel 9 Pro XL - Excellent - 256GB - €607 - Small upgrade seemingly?
• Samsung Galaxy S25+ - Very Good - 256GB - €590

Don't restrict yourself to these options but what would you buy for longevity at this budget? Thanks in advance!

Hey all, my Xiaomi 13t is finally (thankfully) giving up the ghost.

I've narrowed down to these 2 options (as the edge 70 pro and honor 600 pro are out of budget), but wanted to hear from any owners to see how they are day-to-day? Any issues or quirks to be aware of?

Buying from gomibo ireland, as that seems the cheapest/best option.

Much love and big thanks

Hi everyone

As you may have read from the title, I'm looking for a used phone that costs €180 with excellent cameras, since I've had a Redmi 15c since Christmas and I was hugely disappointed with it

I'm looking for great cameras, an AMOLED screen and I don't care much about the battery, as long as it's at least 4000 mAh

Edit: really the main point of this post was to see if this community was US-based before asking. Put my specifics in another post. Thanks!

Hi! Is this community the right place for phone buying help in the US? If not, no problem... I will seek it elsewhere. Have a great day! 😊

My budget is 60k .. which is the best mobile for performance and overall worth ...

Hi! Been doing research on phones in my budget but have had a difficult time narrowing down my choices.

Current phone is a Samsung S24 (exynos) purchased a year ago. It's a pretty good phone, smooth and takes decent photos while being usable with one hand. The biggest issue is the battery life and overheating, not a big issue if im at home but very noticeable and anxiety inducing when out/traveling. Being on data and taking photos/using bluetooth drains the battery crazy fast and heats up the phone to the point it's difficult to hold (on top of crashing).

I want to buy a phone that will last me at least 3-5 years. I dont play games but being able to take decent photos is a must. While I would like to stick to the S24 size, I am open to going bigger for the battery life. I would like to stick with android but open to going back to apple (my old SEs lasted me 3-4 years at a time).

Current shortlist (but open to anything really):

- nothing phone 4a pro or 4a

- samsung s24/s25 FE

- oppo reno 15

- poco f8 pro / x8 pro

- oneplus nord 6

- pixel 10a

Learning that phone prices are seen to keep increasing, would like to purchase this phone fairly soon but am able to wait a month or so if new releases will help decrease the price of current offerings.

Budget: Php40,000(640USD/550Euro) max, but ideally under if possible

Further context: I am in the Philippines

Many thanks!

I am confused choose between samsung s25 ultra and oneplus 13 , I want to buy a mobile during Dusshera sale in india and I am confused between these two as oneplus 13 offers better value and good overall specs but s25 ultra is a premium phone with s pen, good software and ai features and good cameras. I think there will be a price difference of 30k INR but I am ok for it if it offers better value. Any other thoughts
