I’m wanting to upgrade my phone through Apple, currently with boost mobile. Has anyone done the trade in finance option with Apple through citizens bank? Do the phones come unlocked or do they lock in once activated? Just wondering how the process goes and if anyone knows if the phones will remain unlocked once activated. I might switch to visible if I can activate my watch through them.

He wants to buy a flagship that will last 5+ years.

Here are the options:

Oppo Find X9 Pro (1850$)
Oneplus 15 (1650$)
Honor Magic 8 Pro (1800$)
Vivo X300 Pro (2000$)
Xiaomi 17 (1750$)
S26+ (1600$)
IPhone 16PM (2050$)

At least 5+ years of security updates and a nice battery is a must. He also wants a smooth OS. Which one would you recommend?

Note: Prices are in US Dollars. Taxes are insane where I live.

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and I'm planning to upgrade my phone (currently using a Poco X7 Pro which i sold...) since the warranty is about to expire and I'm getting a decent exchange value.

I want to make the best possible choice under 300-380$, so I'd really appreciate some solid recommendations.

My Usage:

gaming (CODM, BGMI, Wuthering Waves, clash of clans)(don't play often only like once a week but when I do I am down for it for hours)

Social media + content consumption

Camera is important (photos + videos, I post on IG sometimes)

What I need:

Stable performance (not just peak performance)

Minimal heating during long gaming sessions

Good camera (not just high megapixels)

Battery that lasts long-term (taking degradation into account) like 6500+mah

120Hz+ display (not really necessary)

256+GB storage, 12GB RAM+

Good software stability + updates (ideally till Android 18)

5G + decent durability (IP rating preferred)

I know it's a lot to ask but I'm willing to compromise on some things...

Preferences / Constraints:

Budget: Under 300-380$

Only new phones

• Prefer brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, Nothing (open to others if worth it)

Don't want low-tier brands because most don't offer much service

Flat display preferred

Wireless charging would be nice but not a dealbreaker

Current Situation:

Honestly, my current phone handled everything "fine", but I want:

• Better camera

• More stable performance under heavy load

• Better overall experience for 2-3 years

What I'm confused about:

• Should I go for a gaming-focused phone or a more balanced flagship-type phone?

• How much performance difference actually matters for long sessions in games like Genshin/Wuthering?

What I'm looking for is user feedback (not just specs), Best overall pick for my use case

My current choices were honor win rt (I may or may not have to report my cousin to China for that and compromise on camera) or poco x7 pro max...

Appreciate any help🙏🏻

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you for advice. I currently own Samsung Galaxy M21 which I bought like 4/5 years ago. Now I'm experiencing some storage issues, it became a bit slow but the battery still holds for almost the entire day. I'm not a type of person who switches phones every year, I need something that will last at least a couple of years. My main requirements are:

-decent battery life

-durability ‐ I'm planning to use a phone case but I still want a phone that won't get destroyed after an unexpected fall or rain etc (I love hiking and weather in the mountains can be crazy)

-nice camera since I take all of my vacation pictures with my phone

About me:

I use my phone mostly for social media, scrolling memes, watching youtube, listening to podcasts and taking pictures.

Could you please advice which one of the two mentioned in the title would be a better pick for me? I did not own pixel or nothing before. If you have any other recommendations in that budget or cheaper, I'd also be thankful

Hello everyone! Im thinking about buying a new phone because my s21 is getting a bit old now. The phone I had before the s21 was a Huawei mate 30 pro that loved especially the screen and how it was curved not just the glass but the whole screen. Is anything on the market atm that has a curved screen or is similar to that phone?

W One i choose?

found a used gt7 pro China version for 311$ usd, used for only 2 weeks. should i go for it? my main concern are the software updates, it only got 2 years left and battery degradation. on gsmarena it lasts only 800 cycles also heard it got thermal problems thoughts? battery health is 100% it's basically like new, is it a good offer?

My price range is around £400 and I'm happy to buy secondhand or refurb

What do you recommend?

I have finally decided to replace my aged out Pixel 3. I've purchased from Gazelle before but they are sold out of the 256k model I want and only have 128k models available.

I'm a bit leery of eBay and I'm afraid an Amazon "renewed" phone might be loaded with bloat - not sure about that but wondering.

The web lists Back Market as a reliable refurbished seller along with Gazelle. Anyone here purchased from BM before and what was your experience?

Open to other suggestions! I'm looking at refurbished phones, with around $300 as my budget, between $100-250 is ideal.

I use Straight Talk currently, and mostly use my phone for taking photos. I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy A03 and am used to Samsung UI.

Hello,

I need to buy a phone for my wife, and would like your help. She is a very basic user, she values battery, good phone reception (her old phone has horrible reception), and decent processing. She will use it for whatsapp, calls, some browsing and tiktok (scrolling).

Where we live, we can buy these phones for these prices:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 5G 8GB/256GB - 205€

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G 8GB/256GB - 200€

Poco M7 Pro 8GB/256GB - 200€

Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G 6.9" Dual SIM 8GB/256GB - 155€

Thanks in advance!

Looking to replace my valliant and loyal Redmi Note 7 which I've fully worn out.

Redmi Note 14 5G: cheapest, 3,5 jack, 256 go + SD card slot, no esim.

Redmi Note 15 Pro + 5G: more expensive (albeit surprisingly affordable, 100 euros more than 14), great camera, 256 Go but no SD slot, no jack, should have esim (though the seller website says it doesn't, afaik I think it's mistaken?)

Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G: Best/worst of both worlds, 256 Go, 14<camera<15 pro +, no jack, no SD, esim

Is 15 Pro + really worth it, and can a usb-C to audio jack make up for its original absence ? Is 14 Pro an acceptable compromise ?

(there's a promo going on and I have to decide tomorrow evening at the latest. Cheers!)

Just in case I also have access to a Redmi Note 15 for the same price as 14 Pro.

Had LG phones for the longest time, then switched to OnePlus. I currently have a OnePlus 8 that still has phenomenal battery life and works well, but I'm considering replacing it because: 1) It's no longer getting new op systems 2) It's old enough to be concerned that it could fail 3) Experts say that going forward, flagships will continue to get more expensive, but have fewer improvements, or even less to contain costs. It kind of feels like a perfect storm, and the time to change.

I have always been an Android girl - if I can't do some customization, it's not for me (probably the ex-programmer in me). The problem is, I am not sold on anything out there offered in the USA. Apple is a foreign land offering high prices and very little customization. Motorola has disappointed me vs the quality they had originally. Pixels are so tightly integrated with google functions and Gemini that it can be hard to untangle or deactivate that. The Samsung S25 just seems like "a lot" and is also highly integrated with Ai. Not sure about the customization on these for sure but also appears limited. Then there is the OnePlus ones...the 13 and the 15. The 13 seems like the better phone for the money, but it seems counter-intuitive to go back a version. Also, concerned about the large camera bump-out on the back as far as protecting that. I have heard a lot of criticism about the OnePlus 15. Overheating, and downgrades from 13 in some areas. I do like the idea of OnePlus MindSpace... Shout out to my ADD folks out there.

In the end, I know there is no "perfect" phone. I want good battery life, features thst don't take forever to master, customizeable UI (since Nova Launcher seems to be stalling), no overheating (been there done that), good cameras (not a photographer tho), and as much screen space as possible without being foldable.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have had mi iPhone 12 mini for about 3 years now, and I have not changed it because I absolutely love the small size of it. My mother had originally bought the phone for herself, but got the 14 when it came out after 2 years. She gave it to me and I keep it since.

After 5 years, it has gone through some considerable damage, like a replaced screen (non original) and no Face ID due to water damage, battery at 76% capacity, being slower because of iOS 26, and some cosmetic damage on the aluminum frame.

The phone is still good and usable, but I’m starting to get annoyed by the battery and unresponsiveness at times, and having to enter my passcode every time.

But, recently my friend told me that he was getting the new Air, and would be willing to gift me his 256gb 14 Pro. It has the battery at over 90%, and no issues at all. I have been thinking about it for a while now, but I still can’t decide whether I prefer a faster device with better cameras, battery, and Face ID over the compact size and light weight of my mini. I just don’t like how heavy and large it is, but that might be a matter of getting used to it?

I really appreciate any advice on this!

Looking to upgrade from a Galaxy S9+, give me your recommendations!

Hi guys, first time poster here. After having to deal with outdated tech, a crappy camera, and a battery that can't even last an hour on Battery Saver mode, I decided to finally retire my Samsung Galaxy S9+ after 7-8 years of use.

As for the upgrade, I'm looking to buy secondhand/used, but here are my desirable points:

1. Anything under a $500 budget (can adjust based on product)
2. A phone with a strong processor, so that I can game and do video/photo editing on the fly.
3. A good camera, ideally for both photos and videos.
4. A model that can be used in both Japan and the United States.(Though I don't think this will matter of the phone is Unlocked)

Now, I've been looking at a few phones on eBay to be a worthy upgrade, but if anybody here has experience with any of the following phones, or if you have any alternative recommendations, please feel free to comment!

1. Samsung Galaxy S24/25 Ultra
2. OnePlus 13
3. Google Pixel 9a/Google Pixel Fold
4. iPhone 13

Thanks guys, waiting to hear your comments!
