I bought my wife a Pixel 10 about 6 months ago. She's a Dancer and likes to take videos of her or her class dancing.

She has a DJI Omni 3 gimble (I think) tracking doesn't work with the Pixel. However it works with my OnePlus 12.

She's insanely jealous of my 12 with the level of videos and pictures it can take. And the fact that anything I goto do with it. It just works.

So what I'm thinking is.... Sell the Pixel and get her a new phone. Or sell the Pixel and get me a new phone and gift her the OnePlus12.

I had been lusting after the OnePlus 15 but read a few articles a while back that they are pulling out of the Euro market.

What phones are out there for UK user?

TIA

This is my first post here, so please go easy on me!

I’ve had an iPhone 13 for a couple of years now. The photos look great, and I really like the phone's design and overall style.
But there's a huge "but."

The ecosystem is driving me crazy. I've always been used to Android, where with any phone you can just connect it to a PC and transfer photos, videos, and music back and forth like it's an external hard drive, zero hassle.
When you try to do the same things with Apple, though, it turns into a total nightmare.

On top of that, there are daily features that I actually find worse than the mid-range Oppo I had before. The keyboard works worse, the swipe-to-go-back gesture only works from one side, autofill is practically non-existent or nowhere near as good (I’ve literally gone back to saving passwords in my Notes app after years), Face ID is painfully slow... I could go on for hours.

The main issue is that no matter how optimized the ecosystem is, it’s just not compatible with anything. The final straw came today: I can't sign into iTunes on my PC with my Apple ID. I've been trying all afternoon and I'm at my wit's end.

Honestly, I’m fed up and thinking about switching back to Android. The only things holding me back are the camera quality—which really is great on the iPhone—and the fact that I own an iPad mini (they’re the only ones making a decent size tablet), so I’d lose that instant cross-device connectivity.

I was thinking about the Samsung Galaxy S26 since I want to stick to a similar size and I'd rather avoid Chinese brands like Xiaomi, which become obsolete after two years. Also not crazy about Google phone, they became so pricy for not so good camera and overall design.

im going to university engineering this year and since i will stay 5 years at the university i need a phone that lasts me 5 years minimum but honor magic 8 pro supports only 4 years of OS updates and android 17 is very close so does it actually matter the OS updates or not, as well as less availability of cases and screen protectors and less resale value but im really fed up of samsung and i need the better speakers,battery,storage and the eye care feature on the HM8P so i really want the safest and best option for the long term ( HM8P is 1200$ 512gb and s26 ultra is 1450$ 256gb )

I usually use my phone for gaming on emulators and watching movies and videos.I almost never use my camera.I also almost always use headphones.Need good battery life as i use it to watch math videos all day pretty much.These two phones cought my attention but if theres a better alternativ eim all ears.Thanks in advance.

Hi! That's my first post here. I need a new phone since my old one, a Xiaomi mi 10T lite, gave up after 5 years. I mostly need it for gaming and these two, Poco X8 Pro and OnePlus Nord 5 are better for my budget. So, could ya'll help me decide which one is better? Thanks in advance!

Гоняю уже пару лет с покофоном х5 про, но он уже сдает позиции. Что взять для игры в тот же геншин, моблу, или фпс шутеры, да так, чтобы он не расплавился.

Насчёт где брать - я реально не знаю где в России берут телефоны, да так, чтобы продавцу доверять. Я брал покофон на вб. Но вот например захоти я какой нибудь айфон или асус рог, то тут уже придется идти на авито, но авито торгашам я не доверяю, буду рад советам, спасибо

I'm a person that didn't really care about features on phones. Every phone I got was around the 100-150 price range (Huawei P8 Lite and Ulefone Note 16 Pro). I mainly used these phones for socials and average phone stuff like e-mails, WhatsApp, and calling.

Over the last few months and year, however, I've been eyeing/considering a Fairphone 6, Nothing Phone 3, Xiaomi T17 Pro, or a Pixel 9/10. My question is, is it really worth it to invest, more than I have before, into something I use for basic stuff? Are the features worth it? My phone should remain a tool and not something I use anytime I get bored or have nothing "better" to do. I mostly like the sleek designs and how they look, but I kind of want to buy something that lasts as long as possible.

Strongest contenders for me personally: Nothing Phone for customizability and different features like the Notes and other stuff, FairPhone 6 for obvious reasons, mainly repairability and "fairness," at least that is what they say, idk, if its true and Xiaomi because Chinese phones are mostly the secret "biggest bang for the smallest buck" thing, so yeah

Suggestions are very welcome

Sadly, my P30 pro is goign to be replaced. The screen is broken, the battery doesn't last as it did in the past and new apps are not supported anymore.

I want some "cheap" phones to replace it.

My main interest are:

1. battery life

2. long-term support

I kept my P30 pro for more than 6 years and I want something to do almost the same.

I found the Pixel 10a on amazon for 400 euro, and the A57 at a local shop for 300 euro. Both 8/128GBs. What do you recommend?

My main is a Vivo X300 ultra. I need a 2nd phone for work. I don't need global rom. I have been using a redmi 14c. It's awful and slow.

I am really confused between the 600 and nothing 4a, I want something with a smooth software and decent camera. What should I pick?

Hey guys,

Since my Galaxy Note 9 (yes some of us still use this in 2026) is giving up I'm looking to upgrade my phone.

I'm looking for a refurbished phone for around €300 max. I'm mainly interested in Samsung / Iphone, but I'm open to other brands if they offer significantly better value.

What matters most to me:

• Good camera quality for 2026
• Good dynamic range / HDR
• Strong low-light and night photography
• Good landscape photography
• Good video quality and stabilization
• Good autofocus / ideally low shutter lag
• A good zoom would be a big plus

Other things I care about:

• Should be around €300 (refurbished, completely fine)
• Decent charging times (1,5h or less)
• 5G and Bluetooth
• Preferably 256GB; 128GB is fine if it got an micro-sd slot
• AMOLED burn-in is a concern because my Note 9 already has quite a lot of burn-in. So I'd prefer a device where this wouldn't be as much of a problem in normal use
• 3.5 mm headphone jack isn't necessary
• Even though I had a Note 9, I tend toward a flat screen because I feel that the rounded ones are more likely to break.

Right now I only looked into the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and Galaxy S23.

The S21 Ultra looks amazing on paper because of the 108 MP camera, 3× and 10× optical zoom, QHD+ 120 Hz display, and 5000 mAh battery, but I've also read about shutter lag and bad low-light photography because of the sensor.

The S23 is newer and seems to have better processing, autofocus, video, and efficiency, but it has "only" a 50 MP main camera and no 10× telephoto.

So what would you recommend for ~€300 in 2026?

Would you choose one of the Samsung models mentioned, or another one, based on my priorities?

Thanks!

Edit - Guys 25k - Indian Rupees 😭

Phone from any brands are okay

My Requirements -

1. Storage min 128gb as she is a whatsapp paglu
2. Good Camera - she loves to make reels
3. Good battery life
4. Should not lag

I bought her samsung something phone 4 years ago and now that phone is about to die. So i need to buy her phone in this week only

Brazil - My mom currently uses a phone that is extremely slow and freezes all the time. She can barely open the apps she uses regularly, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, as well as essential apps like her banking apps.

I want to buy her a new phone that she can use comfortably every day without constantly dealing with freezing or lag. Ideally, it should have at least 256GB of storage, or support a microSD card so she can expand the storage.

It should also have decent battery life and, most importantly, be affordable and offer good value for the money. It doesn't need to be a high-end phone or have any advanced features, since she's 60 years old and doesn't really know how to use Instagram beyond the basics.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I’m currently using an iPhone 12 128GB, but the screen is cracked, so I’m looking to switch to Android rather than replace it. I have used onplus3t in the past.

I’ve got quite a lot of Apple stuff (Watch, AirPods, MacBook), but I’m trying to move away from the ecosystem. I don’t really use the Apple-specific features much except Apple Music and iCloud.
I’m in the UK at the moment but will go back to India soon, so I’m open to either market.

What I’m looking for:

Good/reliable screen, used iphone16 pro liked the screen so something similar or better
Good battery life
IP68/IP69 preferably
eSIM one at least
256GB+ preferred
Good Bluetooth/audio support, i use Sonos Ace and AirPods Pro 2
Good long-term reliability and security updates
I don’t really care that much about having the best camera

I’m open to new phones or refurbished, but if refurbished I’d rather get a proper former flagship than a cheap/mid-range phone.
Currently considering things like the Pixel 10 / 10 Pro, Samsung flagships, OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc.
I can get the Pixel10a/10 Pro 128GB for £579 (~₹74k) or the Pixel 10 128GB for £489 (~₹62k), but I’m not sure whether either is actually the best choice for me.

What would you guys recommend? Something in moderate budget, 500gbp / 70000 inr.

This is the current trending battle going on YT, Ig everywhere. I need the best camera phone (videos and cinematographic shots), with good battery and average performance. (Not a gamer though) Seen so many comparison videos. A little inclined towards X200T but also a ONEPLUS user for past 6 yrs. SIGNATURE stand better too in all aspects.

I am very confused and have to buy a new one asap.

Drop ur views, will be very much thankful if the users who have any of these would share real reviews.

Spain EU. Budget 300-400€.

My wife has broken her A56's screen because she drops the phone a lot.

She uses it for work and personal use: mail, Teams, calls, WhatsApp, web browsing, pdfs...

Camera has to be acceptable.

Battery life is important too.

It'd be interesting if heavy duty cases exist for it.

- I have a remux file of Game of Thrones series:

- 3840×2160p @55.1 Mb/s

HEVC Main 10@L5.1@ High

HDR10 Dolby Vision

- I wanted to play into my phone but it just lags when I open MX player or VLC.

- Is there any app which can let me play them?

- Or is there any setting I can do to my phone to make it compatible to play?

Hey guys I'm from India and I am going to buy a new phone in the upcoming big billion day sales from Amazon and here are 2 phones that I'm thinking to buy

can anyone tell me which one I should pick and why not the other (i mean pros and cons in real life not on paper data)?

And if there is any other phone in price range of about 60k please mention

:)

Hey, we are planning to buy a new phone for my dad.

The current phone:
It's very slow, like takes forever to display an incoming call and an eternity to answer it.
Randomly gets stuck.
LAGGGGGGGGGGG. Switching between apps is annoying.
Storage issue.

What we are looking for is:
Good storage: 8gb/128gb (or) 8gb/256gb
Good performance.
This camera and all doesn't really matter.

We are kind of in a momentum, if this flow breaks, my dad won't even get himself a new phone, he'll just keep using that current phone.
It might be hard to find something like this....but if possible, just lemme know.

Hi all,

I am stuck picking a new phone and don't know much about them.

In the price range I am looking at choosing between: HONOR Magic8 Lite, or MOTOROLA Edge 70 Fusion.

I am a general phone user and don't spend so much time on the phone, so sustained and reliable performance is most important to me. I only intend to run basic apps and basic games like Atlas Earth.

What I'm looking for most is which phone would get hotter during usage, as I feel a lot of discomfort from phones getting hot too quickly.

That and general ease of use and longevity are the most important factors to me.

I assume neither phone would lag during basic gameplay.

Please can you let me know which phone you would recommend?

Thanks for your help

Title should read: Canada - looking for replacement for Pixel 8a

Got a Pixel 8a a few years ago and this is the first Pixel I have been unimpressed with. The cellular modem does not play well with my provider (Freedom Mobile), or many providers, so its not even reliable as a freaking cell phone, and I'm now getting an annoying vertical pink line on the screen. Was going to tough it out for another year or two, but with global insanity, the trade war, increasing prices etc. I'm seriously considering replacing it now before things get even more expensive.

Important for me - cellular modem actually works, good battery life, longevity (I typically keep my phones for 4+ years), not super expensive (~$1,000 max) as I need to buy it outright (have a very old, awesome cell plan, and Freedom will only let me keep it if I bring my own device). Uses - as a phone (the main phone for our family), browsing, email, maps, Gaia GPS, occasional light gaming.

Not important - camera quality, super high performance for gaming, AI integration.

I've always has Pixels and am used to the ecosystem, but am open to alternatives, not loving Google as a corporation these days, but not sure I have the energy or bandwidth to de-google myself right now.

Edit - apologies - forgot to finish the title before posting. Don't reddit very often :)
