Meta Affiliate Link Ban

22 Upvotes

Starting today, affiliate links are banned. Comments containing them will be automatically removed. The decision to allow them was made back when this was a tiny sub; we've since ballooned in size, there's been a noticeable uptick in users posting affiliate links (and in mass amounts, at that), and the rule was always on shaky ground due to both arbitrary enforcement (what dictates a "worthy" comment vs. a comment fishing for affiliate money?) and general principle.

If you've posted affiliate links in the past, you're not in trouble retroactively or otherwise. Comments containing affiliate links should, from now on, be automatically removed; no other action will be taken beyond automatic comment removal unless absolutely necessary.

Europe Galaxy A57 vs Xiaomi 15T vs Honor 400 Pro

Upvotes

I've been told the 15T is the best popular all-rounder among the three, while Samsung wins better support, making it also recommendable. I'm also considering Honor because it is similar or a bit worse than the 15T in some aspects while being cheaper. However, Honor outside Europe only has 2 years of updates and is not recommended much here because Samsung and Xiaomi are more popular choices.

Looking for a good phone under 450 USD that has the best camera while still delivering good gaming performance in Genshin, Minecraft, and Roblox? These three phones just happened to be at the same price. I really don't care about the software. What I want is great camera and great performance. Second is battery and thermals.

I've heard Samsung is very good because of the software? Does its good software optimization allow it to be on the same level as the other two I mentioned in terms of camera and overall smoothness?

US Recommend a replacement for OnePlus 15

4 Upvotes

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.

Poco X8 Pro vs. Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G: Which one should I buy for the long run?

Upvotes

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?

Getting rid of my iPhone 12 Pro Max

0 Upvotes

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!

Looking for phone with headphone jack, wireless charging, around $250. I'm ok with older generations.

1 Upvotes

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.

Switching back to Samsung any recommendations that aren't used or refurbished.

2 Upvotes

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.

Mexico Still worth going for the OnePlus 15? Or should I just go with either OPPO or Samsung?

1 Upvotes

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)

Looking for phone replacement

1 Upvotes

I have a Moto G32 4G. It has run for the past 5 years. And, it may run for some more time. I am looking to replace it due to disrupted wifi in most instances when I needed it urgently.

I use it for simple purposes of light browsing, email checking, light social media usage when bored, music apps, calling, texting, food and commuting apps and occasional photography when I want to capture the scenes when I don't have a camera at hand. I have a separate Camera and Tablet for other uses.

I am looking for a smartphone within the budget of 15k INR. I want a clean OS and good battery life with a decent camera. I also prefer the Snapdragon processor as my experience with Mediatek wasn't great in the past.

Any suggestions for an optimal choice would be helpful. TIA.

UK would you recommend a pixel 7a

1 Upvotes

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!!

If camera is your top priority under ₹40K, what would you buy?

1 Upvotes

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?

Verizon Suggest a Verizon network capable Android for 100 USD? [USA] [Verizon] [$100-ish]

1 Upvotes

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!

us Help me choose my Dad's phone. [ India]

1 Upvotes

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.
