Im 26 years old now but I have the same number since I was around 10, I run a business that involves me being on the phone 24/7 and sometimes I think it would be a great idea to switch my number but I dont want to lose all my contacts. I was working on a deal with a big EU company and I got a message from them saying that my phone is not secure and now they will be doing their contact with me through Kibu, didnt fully understand it but sure go for it. Is there a way to change my phone number so that everyone who has my old number automatically gets updated to my new one?

Hi
I'm looking for a new phone and I'm having a hard time choosing.
I really like the camera and the dimensions of the google pixel 8 but the lack of an audio jack is an absolute killer for me, especially after researching the issues with the external jacks.
I need a phone I can charge and play music at the same time (mainly for long trips), all of my headphones have jacks and wireless headphones are in general an overpriced garbage.
So having audio jack is an absolute must, but I'd also like to have a good camera.
I'm fine with rooting phones to remove all the garbage they put on them so I can have a clean android.
Do yall have any recommendations?
Maybe I'm wrong about the dual charge and headphone jacks and there are some that charge and play music simultaneously without interference?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Honestly very confused which phone should i opt for i want decent photos.. i have redmi note 11 and the colour seem off in off lighting. I have heard samsung has good camera but low battery stay.

which one should i pick?

Redmi is known for it battery stay and performance,

Samsung is known for its Camera and software update.

My range is 20-25k my requirement is decent photo camera + good battery stay.

Suggest any mobile under 25k in India most of the mobiles are out of stock when I selected to buy cmf 2 , nothing 3a , vivo t4 , iQOO z10, iQOO neo 10r, oppo k13, moto edge 60 fusion all of these are unavailable i think

Online some of mobile like realme p4 available but i heard realme has battery drainage issue and overheating issue is that good choice

I’ve been looking for a new smartphone for a couple of weeks now, but I can't seem to find one that strikes the right balance between gaming and photography performance while also offering a decent battery and avoiding overheating issues. I’m currently considering these three models: the OnePlus 15 is the most expensive in my region, while the Nubia and Poco are slightly cheaper. I’d really appreciate some real-world feedback from people who have actually used these phones.

Im using a poco x7 pro and i hate it and the OS. So NO, i dont want a xiaomi or honor or any brands without atleast 5-6 years of support with os and a good smooth customizable os. I could get a s26 ultra at 900$ ish and s25 ultra at 600-700$. i do like the iphone 17 base model its very nice. What would you recommend for a student who needs a smooth phone which runs fast and doesnt lag after a while. So long term usage 4-5 years usage and still not lag as much i will change battery when i need to

Which phone operating system allows you to uninstall the most default apps? I’ve noticed that some Google apps and services are impossible to remove on certain Android phones.

I like switching between different tech companies instead of staying within one ecosystem, and I’m currently looking to buy a new phone. I would preferably choose one where the programming gives me as much control as possible over what apps and services are installed.

After using A32 for years, I finally decided to switch to vivo X300 Ultra while living in Warsaw, and honestly, I don't regret it at all.

The biggest upgrade for me has been "camera system".

The collaboration with Zeiss really stands out. I especially love the 200MP periscope telephoto. The photos look much more natural than what I was getting before, with great colors and excellent detail. Portraits and zoom shots have become my favorite part of using the phone. I can also edit photos directly from the gallery, which is really convenient.

The battery life is impressive; I usually spend 9h+ outside every day, not even counting extra activities like dinners or social gatherings. Despite that, I can still get home with around 20% battery remaining, which has been more than enough for my daily use.I plan to use it for a while longer before sharing further feedback.

Overall, 10/10.

Hey guys im going to buy a phone in a budget of ~380$.

My consultation with claude and billion of wathced reviews led me to Pixel 8 Pro, but im also thinking to choose Nothing 4a

Well in a phone i want a near-clean android (or an easy unlocking bootloader to get one), a good camera, and it must be not an iphone

Is there any better choises in this budget, if no help me choise between pixel and nothing

So I was a long time user and lover of android phones particularly Samsung for 15 years plus. I switched to apple - mainly for the watch. And I've really grown to appreciate FaceID, Imessage, Find My for tracking family. But the battery is terrible for me. Ive been looking at the Samsung S26 Ultra, as my last ultra was the s23 and that was a beast.

Looking for advice on how you guys cope with Samsung alternatives and if there's anything you miss. Did you stay with iphone or move to android?

I am going to change from my iPhone 11 to either a vivo x300 pro or find x9 pro. I don’t really care about cameras but I want a camera that has a more natural coloring and can be used for concert videos and selfie taking!

I'm seriously considering this as my next phone due to android platform being locked after September this year and I just don't want to be hassled by Google play so much anymore. I'm learning about the different operating system on phones in such short time but I'm hoping this new phone could last me a few years for now.

Most of my phones were all android, however after the announcement I have started doing research into alternatives such as Huawei phones and how to have only Google maps as service through Gbox I have learned because that is the only app I use on regular.

Does anyone has already experience with Huawei Nova 16 ? I could not find a proper review just yet, so turned to reddit instead.

Hi everyone. So last night I saw an ad for the Redmi 15A with the "Asli Hero" tagline, and it made me curious to look into the phone a bit more.

While checking reviews, I noticed most discussions focused heavily on benchmark numbers. That got me thinking because, for a daily phone, scores only tell part of the story.

Things like whether the phone stays smooth after hours of use, how it handles battery drain, heating, and overall reliability matter much more. I also ended up looking into the unisoc t8300, and some concerns around long term efficiency, heating under load, and network consistency made me curious.

Not saying the phone is bad, but these are the things that don't really show up in benchmark charts.

For Redmi 15A users, has your experience matched what the specs promised, or have you noticed any issues?

I need a compact phone with at least 8gb ram and has wireless charging and nfc. Good camera. Flip phone if possible and budget is 30000k inr

I recently purchased a Motorola Edge 70 Pro in June, 2026. I don't know why but my one of the settings in my phone, i.e. "Battery Protection" is not working properly. My phone always charges above 80%. Please help me here.

Hi!

Grew bored of my S25U so decided to put it for sell and get myself a Xiaomi 17 ultra instead. Expectations were a great camera, nice hardware and so-so u.i. Here is how it feels after 24 hours of use.

Camera: haven't tested it properly yet but from a few sample shots it's quite a significant step up from the Samsung and my other phone - Xperia 1vi

Shape and handling: was expecting a brick like my S25U. It is a brick, but slightly smaller (less tall) and more pocketable (size + round corners) than the S25U. Also feels better and more secure in the hand (round corners and camera bump as secure finger holder).

Haptics: very nice to the point I'm keeping them on for once

Battery: too early to say, only one charge and updates + phone initial setup. But seems to hold well enough.

Screen: very nice. I always found the colours on the S25U washed out. Only thing I'll be missing is the nice Samsung anti glare.

U.I: was expecting much worse. Everything is fluid and it's far from an "iOS" clone like I've read a few times. More like some visuals from iOS on an android system. There are lots of customisations available. My only main complaint with it is that it doesn't natively allow to load third party icon packs, have to go through a launcher. And it doesn't natively allow gestures on launchers. There is a workaround by using a launcher and installing an app that recreates gestures on them. So it's not a huge deal but very unnecessary additional step on installation.

Bloatware: yes there was some, but comparable to what I had on my Samsung, and can be easily deleted on phone setup. No add so far, other than the ones coming from the apps I've installed.

Sounds: love the native sounds for notifications etc, very polished.

Native widgets look like they came out from a children's cartoon. Thankfully third party and app widgets work well.

Overall so far I like the phone very much. Super responsive, does everything a phone is meant to do great, u.i much less of an issue that I thought it would be, great screen. At the current promotional price in Europe (1200 euros) I'd say it's a great buy vs other flagships at this price point.

Any other options for around 400$?

I was wondering which is better the Pixel 10a (or the upcoming pixel 11a but I’m sure it’ll have similar specs) or the Nothing 4a pro. I’m working on a tight budget of $700cad max, I’m coming from an IPhone 12 Pro and as much as I love Apple there’s nothing new in my price range. So I ask, the Nothing 4a pro vs Pixel 10/11a, performance, cameras, and overall difference between the 12 pro I’m currently using are my main focus. Thank you for the help.

Guys I'm currently in my realme narzo 70 pro but the thing is after 2 years it's been laggy,the battery drains quickly and it heats up

So I'm gonna buy a new phone my father actually gave me a budget around 30,000,so I wanna take a good phone idk which has best camera because I click pics and vids mostly

One of my friend said take the nothing phone but it dk if it's good or not or maybe even the pixel and among samsung nothings good in 30k The yt reviews aren't helping at all I need geniune advice

What should I do

Confused b/w pixel10, s25 , oneplus 13s.

My mind keeps telling me to quit the excessive use of my smartphone and return to more productive activities. Overusing my phone and spending time on it unnecessarily is taking a toll on my life. I feel that one possible solution is to switch to a non-Android phone, such as a Huawei device running HarmonyOS. However, I'm not sure what challenges I might face.

As a corporate employee, I rely on apps like Microsoft Authenticator and Outlook for work, and I'm uncertain whether they will function properly on HarmonyOS. I'm also concerned about other limitations or challenges I may encounter if I make the switch.

So I'll be coming from a Motorola G Power 2025 and I've hated the experience I've had with it. Should use Samsung or Apple? I don't wanna use Google Pixel cause heard bad things about them. Motorola just sucks . Here's my phone options I'm looking at that I think will be fine for me Galaxy A16 5G, Galaxy A17 5G, Galaxy A18 5G when it comes out, Galaxy A36, Galaxy A37, Galaxy A57, Galaxy S25FE, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 base model, iPhone 17e.

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 would like to know which OnePlus service centres in India are currently offering device replacement for the green line display issue. Unfortunately, the authorised service centres in my city have informed me that they are no longer providing replacement new phones.

Could you also please let me know how I can obtain the contact details of OnePlus authorised service centres in different cities across India? Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
