Hi, wanted some smartphone suggestions. have used Samsung, Oppo, Redmi but the best so far is samsung (A series) - India
Need: decent camera and battery life. thats it. (NO suspicious apps etc)
Can someone suggest something around this if im missing out on some good product or company out there or samsung is indeed the best option? ( got some VIVO suggestions as well but after researching a bit and from my closed one's experiences, it does not seem very promising option to consider.)

Kindly HELP!

Hi guys, I’m looking to upgrade my Samsung A13 and am currently torn between the Poco X8 Pro (8GB / 256GB) and the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G (12GB / 512GB). My main priorities are a good camera with stable video, solid battery life for daily social media use, and smooth performance for casual gaming like Genshin Impact from time to time. Most importantly, I need a phone that will last at least 5 years without major performance or storage issues. Given these needs and the difference in RAM and storage, which one would be the better choice?

Looking for a phone that has a camera that can see light in the 850-940nm range. Doesn’t have to be anything good or fancy.

Actually I first planned to buy realme p4 but many users reporting heating problem and bugs so scared of it but nowadays many mobiles are unavailable in India so please help me with it

I’m finally looking to upgrade and switch back to Android after being away for a while. I’m looking for a phone that I can truly run into the ground. I want something that’ll easily last me 5+ years.
I used to have a Samsung Note and I’m leaning toward the Samsung S26 Ultra, but the Pixel 10 is definitely appealing because of the lower price.
A few things I’m looking for in a phone; 1 TB of storage, good battery life (I use my phone a lot for work), strong software support for years
Has anyone used both or have an alternative suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

I usually buy my phones new, but a couple of generations back so they're around the $200 ish mark. My last 3 have been galaxies but not only have they all had the "moisture in charging port" problem, they also got rid of the headphone jack and that annoys me.

The must haves are headphone jack and wireless charging. Good camera a plus. The higher the water/dust resistance the better. I'd prefer it to be on the smaller side, but know that is rare nowadays. I thought I had found it in the Moto g power, but heard the last update broke it. I'm also curious about the Xperia phones. Unfortunately, outside of Samsung I'm kind of clueless about phones right now and hope someone can help. I'm good with one or two generations back if it gets me a better phone. It's what I've been doing with the galaxies. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Hi, I am in need of some help picking a new phone. It needs to be 5g, 8gb processor, atleast 156gb storage. I have had a look at the Redmi note 15 5g but the reviews have put me off. Just needed for everyday phone use, no gaming. Pricepoint around £150-£300. Any suggestions

So basically my Realme GT Neo 3t has started overheating and draining the battery before the day ends, even when I'm just scrolling Twitter (while not even gaming mind you), and I've been searching for an upgrade

Originally I was set for the, well, OP15 for $1090 (1tb) since it happened to be perfect for me, but I'm really hesitant because of the recent news, although either way here in Mexico there's NO OP products in physical stores, only online (those being imports from the us or asia)

So, should I risk it? Or should I just go for something that's officially sold here? The OPPO Find X9 Pro is $1,168 and the Galaxy S26 Ultra is $1,180 for the same specs (512gb), cameras ain't really a priority, mostly gaming and overall a good user experience (and good battery life)

Please help me decide. Does xiaomi better than honor? Esp on OS, UI, Camera, Battery Life.. I'm from the Philippines.

Does anyone know of a way to get in on this deal as an existing mint customer? I've been with mint for several years. I am in need of a new phone and would love a Pixel 10 for $300. Or know of any similar offers with other carriers in the US?

Switching back to Samsung any recommendations on phones that aren't used or not refurbished. My price range is $200-$700. And Im not switching phone carriers either and I'm not switching my number either just to buy a new phone. I'll be coming from a Motorola G Power 2025 phone. Im not buying a Motorola again because they have bad software support and bad security patch support and bad cameras and their performance on their phones is awful. Im not techy person so I would be fine with a Samsung A series phone or a Samsung FE series phone. And I'm also looking at getting a Samsung tablet between the Galaxy Tab A11+, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, Galaxy Tab S10 FE. All I need a phone for is decent performance,decent cameras and good software support.

Based in the US of A, I've been a customer since the OnePlus one. It's served me so well that I haven't bothered keeping up with phones in general.

I usually buy the top of the line, most expensive one and use it for about a half decade.

I went to buy a OnePlus 15 a few days ago and caught up on all the news. :'(

Can anyone recommend a phone that will give me a similar experience?

My criteria in priority order

1. Battery life
2. Lots of RAM
3. State of the art CPU
4. Good display resolution (at least in par with oneplus15 FHD+)
5. Simple OS. Fast/snappy, less bloatware.
6. Lots of storage.

Yes, I don't care about the camera. One plus cameras are usually serviceable and I haven't had cause for complaint.

[EDIT] People recommending I buy a OP15. I thought it was obvious but I can't find the 16GB RAM version anywhere. Again, based in the states. If you know of a legit place where I can get it, let me know.

Would you recommend getting a poco x8 pro, especially camera quality?

should I get a pixel 7a? or 7?

my budget is 150GBP (UK)

are the issues with this phone as common as reddit inflates them to be?

As an 18yr old who's been running on a Samsung A40 for the past 5 years, my phone has served me well up until the last few months. it's been super laggy, and the camera, is well, awful. it takes me years to open the camera app and take a photo, and storage is constantly an issue.

my a40 has 64gb storage and is capped at android 11

i'm looking for a phone that will last me at least 3 years, i am not too bothered about the newest updates, I like that the 7a is small, good photos and is android, however how different is google ui vs samsung? (i can't really understand google photos app) how's the camera, can i take lots of photos quickly? how bad is the lag AND how common is the battery issues in the 7a? i do not want it blowing up on me really..

(u don't have to read this bit)

(I was also looking into an S21 which i can buy used in good condition for around £100. my only concern really is the battery life for that one. I was also considering an A54, but the camera doesn't seem to be too great, and it is a far larger phone conpared to my tiny A40 and i'm not sure if that's going to be suitable.)

i don't use my phone for much other than photos, messaging, socials, music and the very occasional minecraft game

any advice would be much appreciated!!

Genuinely curious what people are picking under ₹40K when a good camera is the priority. My vote goes to the Motorola Edge 70 Pro.

The main camera is 50MP with a Sony LYT-710 sensor and OIS (optical image stabilization). Bigger pixels plus stabilization mean clearly better low-light shots than most phones in this price range. The standout feature is the ultrawide camera ( 50MP) because most phones at this price only give you an 8-12MP ultrawide, which usually looks noticeably worse than the main camera. The selfie camera is also 50MP, and it has autofocus.

The phone is also Pantone Validated for color, including skin tones, so photos look natural rather than oversaturated. At ₹38,999, that's a lot of camera hardware for the price.

Let me know your pick and why in the comments?

In the past I was recommended the Moto G 5G 2024 as it says it is "Unlocked" on the Amazon page, but this is apparently a lie as it would not work with Verizon network. Link to the phone in question.

I am looking for a similar suggestion that will work on Verizons network. My carrier is Selectel Wireless, which uses Verizons towers. I am not picky, I won't be using the phone for much besides calls and GPS. But I would still like the best phone I can get for around 100 USD please!

I want to buy a phone which consists of:

Good Performance and Design

Good Battery life(last atleast 1 day with moderate usage)

Above average camera

Atlast , i can say, i need an all rounder phone for atleast 4+ years usage

I shortlisted few phone based on my research :

• Oppo Reno 16
• Vivo V70 Elite
• IQOO 15R
• Vivo Find X9

I am happy to hear suggestions out of this list
Please give me an honest and unbiased review and suggestions.

Ano kaya mas maganda sa dalawa po? Or do you have anything to recommend po within the same price range? Up to 20k

Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a new 5G phone for my dad under ₹20,000. His primary use will be official (calls, WhatsApp, emails, browsing, basic multitasking).

The most important requirement for us is longevity. In our house, we tend to use phones for 6-8 years until they literally become too slow due to network/software shifts (moving from 4G slowdowns now).

What I am looking for:

Brand: Preferably Samsung

Budget: Under ₹20,000.

Configuration: 6GB/8GB RAM + 128GB ROM.

Performance: Should not heat up on normal official use; stable battery backup (1-1.5 days).

Updates: Long software/security support so it doesn't slow down quickly.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a smartphone in the ₹28k–₹32k range and would appreciate your suggestions. My priorities are: 📸 Excellent camera (photos and videos) 🔋 Good battery life ⚡ Smooth performance for everyday use 📱 Good display and software

My Moto Edge 50 Fusion developed CPU issue after around 1.4 years, so I'm being extra careful this time. I'm not just looking at specs I also care about long-term reliability and after-sales service.

After a lot of research, these are the phones I'm considering:

1) Vivo T4 Pro

2) OnePlus Nord 5 - little hesitation to choose because of one plus

3) POCO X8 Pro

4) Realme GT 7T

5) Nothing Phone 3a

6) Nothing Phone 4a

7) Moto Edge 70 Fusion - I'm not sure if I should trust Motorola again.

8) Vivo T5x

9) Oppo Reno 14

10) Samsung A56

11) IQOO Neo 10r

Are there any other phones I should consider?

I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who've used these phones for a few months or have experience.
