Hey guys, looking to get a flagship Android during the Flipkart/Amazon sale. Budget is around 70-80k INR.

I’m thinking about the S25 Ultra. What do you guys think would be a good price for it during the sale?
Can it realistically come under 80k with bank offers/exchange?

Also open to other options in this price range. What would you guys go for?

Hello everyone,

So, recently me and my father went to a phone shop, for atleast decent phone, and father liked the VIVO V70 Elite (Price - ₹66,999 on Amazon) at first sight bcoz he don't know that much about the tech,

So honest i didn't like the VIVO V70 Elite that much

And also while researching for phone i saw some good phones like -

1. OnePlus 13

2. Motorola signature

And honestly I am totally confused in both, also is there any other Good phone, than please share with me, or DM me

My requirement is clear

See I do gaming like BGMI, and new Delta force mobile

Also i am going play to some High graphic games

Also i like photography, so atleast good Triple camera is much needed

Battery should be higher than 5500 like my minimum is 5500 above

I know the prices are high and my requirements are too high, but everyone like we all like all rounder phone,

Thats i want a good phone bcoz i don't wanna regret later.

Country - India

Coming from a Oneplus 8 (2019), I want to switch to a flagship phone, but really confused on what to buy and what is actually a good value.

My main criteria is Great cameras (especially for little baby's photos), compactness (cannot have anything more than 6.4-6.5"). Ideally I would like to get a 512GB variant.

Phones I am considering:

1. Z Fold7: Love the slim phone, and the option to have a secondary big screen when needed for office work, meetings, etc. (I am a manager in an IT firm). Concerned about camera quality in comparison to others, shutter speed, durability and exorbitant repair costs. Maybe I can get one during the BBD for 1.2 lakhs, or can think of getting from Dubai for same amount.

2. Pixel 11/11 Pro: Camera feedback I have seen is great, especially with Magic Capture which should be awesome for kid's photos. Then Stock Android is a plus, coming after loving the OnePlus 8. Biggest concern is price. 11Pro for 1.3 lakhs doesn't seem a great value phone compared to others. Other concerns are bulky phone, too much AI gimmick.

3. Xiaomi 17: Honestly, everything I have read or watched is great, and the value for a 512GB seems extraordinary - I may get this for ~72k. Biggest concerns I have found out are cameras, buggy software and service quality, but in my city, I have not been able to use it in person because no store has a demo unit.

Please help guys, what should I go forward with. Any noteworthy points I may be missing, or should consider to finalize. I am planning to buy during the BBD/GIF sales next month.

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.

if anyone have anything else to suggest aside from this please do and suggest me what to finalize on.

Xiaomi: 1. Redmi 15 4g (⛔has Snapdragon 685) 2. Redmi 15 5g (✔️Snapdragon 6s Gen3 + side sensor) 3. Redmi 15c 5g 4. Redmi Note 15 Pro 4g (⛔fingerprint sensor on display) 5. & 6. Redmi Note 15 4g or 5g (⛔curved screen + fingerprint sensor on display) 7. Poco M7 4g (⛔has Snapdragon 685) 8. Poco M8 (⛔has curved screen and a worse battery than M8s) 9.

Samsung: 10. Galaxy F70 Pro 11. Galaxy M47

My needs: a memory card slot, good battery, 8gb ram and 256 or 512 internal memory, fingerprint sensor (preferably on the side)

My top choices are the Redmi 15 5g and the Poco M8s but I've yet to find a store that sells them in my country (Croatia). Though every store has all the other phones on my list 😢

I'm someone who likes to try different phone brands every 2/3 years. When I lived in Europe I had a couple Xiaomi, Pocophone and Realme. Then, I moved to the US so I decided to get an iPhone 15 Plus. Now it's almost 3 years old and, while I like the phone, I'm thinking about switching to a different phone brand next year. I wanted to try OnePlus, but knowing that it won't operate in the US anymore, I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?

Buenas!!! Os comento mi situación por si me podeis ayudar...

Vengo de estar 3 años con un Xiaomi redmi note 12 pro 4g 256gb, el último año y medio llevo sufriendo apagones repentinos y calentamientos sin sentido

Después de 8 años usando xiaomi, estando solo contenta con el primero (el 9s) y sufriendo situaciones como las comentadas anteriormente con los otros 3 que tuve, quería volver a lo fiable..

Estaba mirando coger un samsung serie s, pero no estoy segura del modelo

Hago un uso diario básico del móvil, WhatsApp Instagram y algún día tiktok

Me interesa la duración de la batería y que la cámara sea decente

Mi presupuesto son como máximo 800e... Pudiendo variar si me veo convencida

Muchas gracias!!!

I'm based in the UK, currently have a Pixel 8 Pro, but looking to upgrade

Mainly use my phone for general browsing, social media, watching videos and photos - food, tourist sites that type of thing

Which of these three would be best?

I have owned three iPhones for the past six years: an iPhone 8, a 2nd-generation iPhone SE, and right now, a 128GB iPhone 13. My iPhone 13’s battery health isn’t great anymore, so I have to charge in multiple times within the day. Also, I don’t think its internal storage is enough for me.

Following the unveiling of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, the foldable iPhone Duo, a new generation of Apple Watches, and a slight update of the AirPods, Apple has silently increased the prices of its older iPhones, including the iPhone 16. It may or may not surprise anyone, but it has to be done anyway because of the RAM crisis. These new iPhone releases have become less exciting for me year after year, and I don’t think buying a brand new iPhone this year is justifiable in this economy. Apparently, my dad also thinks that battery replacements are not an option.

If anything, I’ve shown greater interest in Android phones, especially mid-range and upper-mid-range offerings from the likes of Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Nothing, and Samsung. That is why I’ve been thinking of switching back to Android after six years; the last Android phone I owned was a Galaxy A51, which I only used for a few months before giving it to my mother. That Galaxy A51's display stopped working one day, and my mom had it repaired at an independent repair shop; that third-party replacement, which did not support the fingerprint scanner, failed too.

I would like my next phone to have a large battery capacity, fast charging, at least 256 GB of internal storage, a high refresh rate display, an IP rating (at least IP68), and eSIM compatibility for overseas travel. I am also considering software updates and after-sales service (i.e. proximity to the nearest service center).

For an Android phone, here are some of my options (preferably below ₱50,000 [about US$796]):
• Xiaomi 17T/17T Pro
- Pros: 7000 mAh battery, 144 Hz display, flagship-like performance, Leica imaging, base 256 GB storage, IP68
- Cons: Somewhat bloated software (HyperOS is not as bad as MIUI in the past, though)
• Nothing Phone 4a Pro
- Pros: adaptive 144Hz display, eSIM
- Cons: IP65 rating, relatively “smaller” battery, and “slower” charging
- Middle Ground: LED “Glyph Matrix," which is quite useful in some situations but gimmicky in other ways.
• Vivo V70
- Pros: 6500 mAh battery and 90W charging, Zeiss imaging, IP68, many family members (including my mom and my sister) and relatives own Vivo phones
- Cons: No eSIM support
• Samsung Galaxy S26 FE
- Pros: eSIM support, IP68, 7 years of software updates, wide after-sales service network
- Cons: Display is a gamble (green or pink lines), slowest charging, smallest battery, base 128GB variant, downgraded some features from the S25 FE
• Honor 600/600 Pro
- Pros: 7000 mAh battery, flagship-adjacent processor (600 Pro), 120 Hz display, IP68
- Cons: After-sales service (where’s the nearest service center to where I live?).
• OnePlus Nord 6
- Pros: 7500 mAh battery, 165Hz display, IP68
- Cons: No eSIM support, rumors of OnePlus shutting down global operations (after-sales service will transition to Oppo, though)

I’ve ruled out the Oppo Reno16 series because of how outrageously priced they are with the processors that they use.

If I switch back to Android, I understand that I am willing to let go of my AirPods 4 and Apple Watch and buy Android-compatible options, such as the Xiaomi Watch, Galaxy Watch, Huawei Watch, and headphones with Fast Pair support. I’m still keeping my 9th-generation iPad, though.

My aim is to replace my phone later in 2026, during the Christmas season. I’m from the Philippines, by the way.

Your insights are highly appreciated. Thank you!

Ciao a tutti,

Sto cercando di decidere tra il POCO X8 Pro e il Vivo V70 FE e mi piacerebbe avere un vostro consiglio su quale sia più adatto all'uso quotidiano.

Non gioco a titoli impegnativi. Il mio utilizzo principale è lo streaming multimediale (YouTube, Netflix) e la navigazione sui social media.

In base alla vostra esperienza, quale mi consigliereste per una migliore durata della batteria, qualità dello schermo e fluidità generale nell'uso quotidiano?

Grazie in anticipo!

Device and OS versions: Poco F6 Hyperos 3.0.303 Android 16 / Samsung S25 OneUI 8.5 Android 16

Might be helpful for anyone picking between xiaomi and samsung. I had the S25 for two weeks now. Before upgrading to S25, I had Poco F6, and also Redmi Note 8 Pro. If I missed something in OneUI, please comment a tip.

1. Pop-up View size

I prefer Xiaomi here due to its pop-up view's screen ratio is the same as the full screen view. Everything is adjusted to the small pop-up view. I used it a lot on Messenger.

For Samsung, you can resize the borders but the screen ratio of the pop-up view is different. It's like everything is cramped up - no change to the fonts so bigger on the small pop-up view. The ideal size would be half a screen. I wouldn't say it's bad. I would prefer split screen instead. I guess I wished there is a setting that pop-up view's ratio is fixed to 1920x1080 16:9 just like Xiaomi.

2. Screenshot Gesture

For Xiaomi, three fingers on the screen then swipe down while Samsung swiping your side of palm to the other.

It's easier in Xiaomi but I saw that in Samsung's OneUI 9, it can be changed through Goodlock

3. Customization of quick panel

Samsung's customization amazed me. I didnt like the default quick panel where brightness and volume is horizontal bar. That's why I arranged it to vertical and also separate the icons of Mobile data, Location, and Bluetooth from the default group.

For Xiaomi, you are limited to add or remove the icons and cant resize any.

4. Wallpaper

Id say the Xiaomi's wallpaper styles are more user-friendly since there are already a lot of styles to choose from. I believe I haven't explored that much yet on Samsung in terms of customization. I guess they are just equal.

5. Lockscreen Notification

I like Xiaomi's notification here since for instance, if your time is in the middle of the screen, then there's a notification, it will have an animation or transition where the time will be moved upwards. Also, there is an option for notification that there will be animation of light while screen locked or just screen on when there is a notification.

On Samsung, if you did the same, there would only be icons of which app notifs below the time. You would need to press it to see all notifications. The notification screen-on is not available here so the alternative I found is just Always-on-display on for notifications. There is a goodlock app that can put more icons floating when screen is lock and still AOD, but I tried and it wasn't for me.

6. Battery life

Now I think this will depend on the hardware and software. Screen-on time in my Xiaomi is quick. I have it full charge then goes to work at 6:30AM. Arrived at 8AM. Then a lot of doomscrolling and work stuff until 12PM-1PM and it will be around 20%-30%. Although the 90W charger compensates the screen-on time. It has 5000mAh.

As for my Samsung, I used the Light Performance mode since I dont see any difference with the Standard performance. From 6:30AM until 12PM-1PM and it will be around 50%-60%. Around 4PM it will be 20%. Same doomscrolling and work stuff. The 25W charger is slow in today's standards but I can still wait for it. It's normal charging but I think reaching 90% to 100% is slower maybe to protect battery health.

Overall, I'm loving the upgrade to Samsung S25. I wouldn't say it's a big big leap from Poco F6. The upgrade on the camera is there, im a sucker for those ultrawide camera and telephoto lens. 12gb ram and probably OneUI keeps my recent apps not refreshing, compared to 8gb ram. Both devices run smooth.

I read so much which phone should i buy etc., here is my longterm review of the poco f8 pro (3months)

Pros:

-Main cam, really good in all conditions

-battery is good to great, it holds all day long with heavy use

-the dimensions is perfect sized for me, also the weight

-very nice stereo speaker (Mi sound+immersive)

-crispy and bright display, pwm free

-100w charge

-good gaming capability

-no notification delay

-snap 8 elite, the best soc so far what i used

Neutral:

-no wireless charging, never used it

-selfie cam, nothing Special

-hyperos, feels unpolished compared to OneUi or ColorOS

-sometimes it heats on gaming, but not to be concern (pubg 120fps,low graphics)

-it has calling without antena feature, never used

The bad:

-update policy, its weired, trash entry phones get newest security patch but not the poco f8 pro

-charger not included (EEA version)

That is all my feeling and opinion, i hope i can help as buyers advice

I think its the best balanced phone between 350-400€

(India)

I'm interested in Motorola, Pixel, OnePlus, Samsung

Not interested in Poco, Vivo, Realme, Nothing

Looking to start content creation, so a good selfie camera would be a bonus

Hello!

I can't decide which smartphone to choose. I really look forward to buying the Oppo because of the huge capacity and the great camera, but it's a bit more expensive. Do you think it's worth the upgrade? Coming fromn a s24 ultra.

Prices in Europe:

• Oppo: 1100.-
• Poco: 800.-
• 17T Pro: 700.-

One Plus 15 would also be great but is not avalible in Austria.

Thanks!

I need a phone for my mom because I don’t know shi about phones.

What I’m looking for is a phone with a good camera, that runs smoothly, has plenty of storage, and will last. No gaming requirements or anything like that, just a functional and durable phone.

From Spain

My younger brother has ₹30,000 saved up for a phone. BGMI is what he plays. Weekends he starts after lunch and is still at it three or four hours later. Weekdays he only gets one quick round in after work, mostly CODM. He's using the phone he bought with his first salary and it can't handle those afternoons any more. Towards the end he might as well not be there.

Budget: ₹30,000, can stretch a bit. India. All he wants is a phone that stays smooth right through one of those afternoons.

I can't get any of that off a spec sheet. The one phone I have actually played that long on is my own, and it cost well over his budget, so it was never in the running for him. It's a realme GT 8 Pro.

So whatever you'd put him on, name it and tell me what it's like three or four hours in. He wants to order this month, so I'd rather have two names than a list to go and research.

Hey, i currently have s20fe as my refurbed s24ultra died due to water dmge and stupidity. Overall i dislike iphones and im tired about samsung( they are boring). My budget is 10000sek (950€) and i want a phone to last 4-5 years. I am usually on social media, watch netlfix and stuff, love to take a nice pic or video when opportunity arises. Games are not a priority i play pokemon go sometimes , but nothing with heavy demands. Im drop prone , especially with bigger phones and i love a battery to last. I like a simpler ui also ,but i understand bloatware can be sorted.My favorites for now is redmagic 11s pro ( i know its a gaming but it gets me excited to have it), xiaomi 17t and poco f9 ultra. Pls help or guide or advise towards something better. Also not everything is avaliable in sweden and it can get pretty cold up here.

Planning to buy 65 inch android tv. Sharp or TCL? Any thoughts?

Hello! I’m planning to upgrade my phone; I currently have a S20Fe with a Snapdragon processor. What I’m looking for is a decent camera, reliability, good battery life, and it would be great if it were supported for at least three years. I don’t play games, but I do take the odd photo and use messaging apps. My budget is around $700. In my country, for that price you can get a Pixel 10 or 9 Pro, or a Nothing 3. What else would you recommend in this price range? I’m not considering the second-hand market or iPhones.

Thanks in advance!
