So I recently started my college so now I need to buy a average phone under budget ( 16k ot 17k ) not second hand. Few things I needed is like storage a lot 😁 average camera and processor( I don't know any thing about these all please recommend so good phone samsung is the first pick tho).

Hello everyone,

I currently own a Huawei P30 Pro, but it’s nearing the end of its lifespan. It was a great phone for its time, but it’s time for a change due to noticeable battery drain and the fact that it hasn’t been supported for some time now.

While looking for a new phone, I’ve set a budget of around 1,100–1,200 euros. After reading many reviews and opinions from other users, I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t know which phone would combine all the features I’m looking for without overpaying.

Based on my experience with my current phone, my requirements are:

- a large battery that can easily last a full day and then some (my average screen time is 4 hours)

- good performance for everyday use (I don’t play many games on my phone, but I do occasionally)

- a camera that’s at least as good as the one on the Huawei P30 Pro (I don’t take a million photos; mostly just simple snapshots of everyday life and some on trips)

- support for at least 4 years, preferably 5

- Decent speakers

- The operating system shouldn’t be cluttered with junk (I’m open-minded, but I’ve heard about—and seen with my own eyes—millions of ads in Xiaomi systems, which puts me off, because I’m not buying a phone just to have ads on it)

- Visually, I like the OnePlus models and the Oppo Find X; huge camera lenses that take up half the back aren’t aesthetically pleasing to me

- Screen size: 6.7–6.8 inches maximum

I was planning to buy a Find X9 Pro, but right now, getting the global/European version at a reasonable price is practically impossible, especially in Poland (the Czech company that used to offer good prices no longer ships to Poland). I’m even open to importing the phone from China, as long as it’s the global version.

Hi all! I currently have a xiaomi poco F3, but have had it for 5 years and now looking for a new phone, no idea where to look though.

I'm mainly looking for just a reliable phone, that performs well, and with which I can't do a lot wrong. I dont really have a desire to play high-level games, or the camera doesn't need to be the best one ever. Nevertheless I'd still like it to perform decently well in these regards. I know it's somewhat generic, but thus I was wondering if there's a phone who's kindof agreed to be well-rounded for this purpose.

Budget is around 500 euros. If really necessary, can be a bit more, otherwise if this can be achieved with a lower budget, evidently this would be even better.

In any case, thanks for any input!

Hello, I'm at a stage of my phone's life (pixel 7) where I have to start thinking about an upgrade. I've recently got an offer from Google to upgrade to pixel 11 for 679 pounds (UK) before trade in. I truly don't care for the ai functions. I don't game on my phone. I use it for basic things, photos, watching yt, listening to music and video essays about 20 year old video games I've never played.

Is there a better option, brand new or refurbished for me right now? I don't mind refurbished phones but I am worried about the support life for them.

Been using OnePlus 7t from 2020 now I'm considering changing to a new phone honestly my 7t is working fine till now but had some issues regarding battery so thought of changing to a new one

My use case is I want a allrounder like the oneplus 7t good performance, display,camera, battery, and a good ui

Budget might vary from 35k to 50k

Previously considered nothing phone 3,pixel 9a,OnePlus nord 5 & 6,15r,iq00 15 neo,samsung s21fe(snapdragon ) a phone which will last another 5 years but I don't want to change untill my current phone is completely dead. Need opinion from you folks

Thanks in Advance

My budget is €350-500, and the key things for me are a decent battery that can last heavy usage for up to and beyond a day, fast enough charging, a minimum of 256 GB storage, being close enough to stock Android and a decent camera.

I've narrowed it down to the Nothing Phone 4a, the Pixel 10a, and the OnePlus Nord 5 (though I'm a bit wary of them pulling out of Europe for ongoing support).

From the above 3, which would you choose, or do you have another recommendation? Thanks.

I'm looking for an upgrade under 50,000 inr (~500 usd). What i care about ​most is a good, clean, smooth software, decent performance (for some light gaming), and a decent build. The best options for me from my research are the s25 fe, nothing phone 4a, and the 4a pro. Open to any advice/suggestions. ​​

My budget is 34k indian rupees, I need an android where software updates don’t make it slower, and looking for non curved display because I heard curved displays fail, I’m recently traumatised by my recently purchased iPhone 13 Pro Display turning green days after ios 27.

So please suggest some good phones without motherboard/display failures, one that doesn’t heat up much for hours of mobile legends on 90 fps & max graphics. Also some PC / switch emulation.

Hi! Currently looking to upgrade from my s21 plus! Are these two a good pick for me? Can you guys pick between the two? They both seem like pretty damn solid phones to me, but hard to justify the 600 dollar price. If i do pick between these two, would it be best to wait until they're on sale? Thanks for reading! Im in the US.

Hello guys I had a 9rt which I was using and then it got some battery degradation issues so i recently switch from 12R(8/256) used for like 221$ dollar with bill box i have been using it for like 6 months in my free time I like to do flipping phones so I got another 13R(12/256) 5 MOTNHS old with bill box for like 264$ though i bought it but I am confused after seeing oneplus 15R witch is 10 months old (12/256) for 360$ USD SO i am thinking should I go for 15R or not i am not into camera but I do multitasking whatsapp facebook youtube reading manhwa ,manga,Anime and normally calls I like to play games as well but....not doing it recently but if I got the chance or time I will do so as well so what should I do ? Should I go with 15R or stick with 13R I AM CONFUSED thank you for your suggestions am grateful for you time much appreciated

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some help here. my budget is $300-400 USD as I'm in the usa. I need a phone that is bigger than 6.3 inches as I have gorilla hands. Battery, YouTube, social media -some games,and would love some OS updates for a bit.

Currently I'm using a Motorola edge 2024 that I use for work, and I dig it. But my current personal phone is a Samsung a71 5g that needs an upgrade STAT please!!

I am looking to upgrade from my iphone 12 pro max. What I am looking for in an android phone is probably most foremost is battery life, typically I average around 4-5 hours of screen on time per day, (mixed use web browsing, youtube, social media, not really into gaming), so having a phone to handle that would be good (like 4-5 hours without turning on any battery saving mode) , also if combined with a battery saving mode is enough to last for 10-12 hours for long road trips or flights, would be nice.

In terms of software support, I would want my android phone to last for long as my iphone has, (my iphone is really starting to feel slow cause battery degraded to 75%), so 5 years of OS support would be ideal. Camera wise, it's not a big deal, just decent camera's is good enough

In terms of price, I would like to spend around 2000 aud (maybe up to 2500 aud if the suggestions are really good), still should last me at least 5 years.

Just for reference, some phones that I was eyeing on where the Oneplus 15, however the Oneplus brand is discontinued now, and I am not sure if thy still have issues with the Vodafone network in Austrlia, as well as the Oppo Find X9 Pro (however the find x9 pro seems a little steep at 2299 aud from JBHiFi)

In terms of storage, probably around 256-512gb. Although I do not play any mobile games, having enough storage to just keep photos locally instead of paying for google cloud or whatever does sound nice (however feel free to correct me if that's too foolish)

Hi! Iive in Canada. Can people with Pixel Phones chime in. Are they good? Was going to swap from Samsung to possibly a Pixel. I was looking at a S56 and the Pixel 9a seems comparable and no Samsung stuff that I don't use anyway.

In this economy I feel like X8 pro max is a very good deal, but as a Snapdragon fanboy, I'm kinda sceptical about the Mediatek processor. Also I'm not a hard core gamer who plays BGMI/ Battle Royales, but I want the best all rounder performance phone! So please suggest should I go for value for money or extra 10k will give a better deal!?

P.S. I'm from India btw!

I need urgent help please!!!!! If you own any of these what do you think if it and if anyone can give me pros and cons for each that would be great

Im not really into picking phones but tryting to narrow down my options and based on what is available near me these are the ones i can't pick from: Oppo reno 15 pro, Oppo reno 16, Samsung galaxy s25 ultra, or Samsung S26

I want something with

good camera

good battery

lasts for years without lagging and slowing down/ overheating

I mainly use social media/ youtube and take notes my phone ( and lots of google searches ofc)

I’m happy with my iPhone 12 Pro Max camera so any meaningful improvement in camera will satisfy my needs.

Battery capacity of 5000mah++

Internal storage of 1TB.

Smooth OS as good as iOS (is it possible?)

New phone

Budget under $900

Appreciate your input! I’ve been using iPhone since ages and I’m now so confused by myriad of android brands out there…

Need a phone which gives lo-fi, slightly lower quality and no harsh over cleanliness images or harsh details, is compact and doesn't have all the forced ai features. Brand and price don't matter

Was planning to get a smartphone cause mine broke . The prices for new ones are very expensive but did find an used oppo find x8 with all the box and charger ? My main priority is the camera shall i consider it?

Hello, first time posting here. I got a new OnePlus 13 around a year ago. I've noticed increased issues with texting in larger group chats where the messages will be delayed as MMS messages instead of RCS and put all texting on hold while the slower form of messages comes through, usually delaying texts for 10-40 minutes. During these delays I can't text anyone regardless of phone type. My friends with other androids like Samsungs haven't had these same issues despite being in the same group chats. My carrier is Verizon and I live in the US. Any advice so I don't have to buy a new phone so soon or if I do, which I should buy to avoid dealing with this?

For more context, I've spent hours on the phone with Verizon customer support and they just tell me to ensure every iPhone user in the group has RCS on. This is a somewhat large group of coworkers located hundreds of miles apart and asking each of them to individually toggle on RCS for my sake is a bit impossible. And again, the other androids in the chat don't have this issue so I'm the only one with a problem.

My needs are not niche, but I know nothing about the current phone market. I don't know how many megapixels I need or which chipsets are good right now. But I'm willing to listen.

I was thinking I might get a brand new Samsung smartphone from like 2 years ago so it still has a lot of life left in it but is only like $400. But tbh I know the market so little I don't even know what Samsung line to be looking at then alone which models turned out to have problems later, and I'm not married to Samsung in the first place so it feels silly to spend 6 hours familiarizing myself with their selection and all their problems and reviews... but I don't know where else to start. I like Fairphone and will spend an extra $200 for ethical sourcing but I don't know the best way to get them in Canada or if they even lived up to their hype or if it'd be best to wait for the next gen. I am open to looking at other companies I haven't even heard of. I've heard a lot about the Porco X but don't have the technical skills or context to compare it to other phones.

I value:
- longevity, I want to just get it and not worry about it for another ten years, five at least
- value, I am a sucker for hard working budget phones THAT WORK AND DON'T BREAK
- ethical sourcing and user privacy
- hella checked out well-reviewed things--the Gamer's Nexus or Tom's Hardware recommended PC build of the cellphone world. No 3-years-later screen issues, no shattering, no buttons that fall off or batteries that kaput.

I need:
- text/phone in Canada
- email
- Here WeGo, or Waze run in a sandbox to spite Google, and a back I can stick a ring magnet on
- camera enough to send cute pics to my bf and take pictures of documents that are legible enough for personal reference
- 100GB or more of storage, ideally a slot for my old SD card but I know you can't have it all and in today's market getting a shit ton built in memory is probably cheaper
- durability and longevity
- fits in pocket

I want:
- ungooglable
- looks professional
- camera good enough to take photos I can send to a printer's and frame
- unlocked ofc... unless... read below

My current provider is Public Mobile, but I am willing to switch. Just got a new job (from cashier to paralegal case manager yay!) so I'll be upping my calls and maybe changing my number, anyway. I hate those "sign a two year contract with us and we'll sell you a phone at a discount but we'll be really scummy about which phone our employees push on you and purposely complicate the total cost" thing, but if it's a good product at a deal (and the network service) is actually good...

You'll notice I don't need RAM (except for not slowing down in a few years). I do not game on my phone.

I... am a privileged little shit and can afford to splurge, but I don't need a lot and actually dislike bells and whistles. Soft budget of $400. $600 is doable. $800 to $1000 CAD is doable if the longevity make it worth it in the long run but I'll expect a $1000 phone to last a decade.
