Hello!

I wanted to make a post because this has been on my mind, and I'm not sure if it's just me with rose tinted glasses. A few months ago I moved from a Pixel 6 to a Moto G Stylus. I wanted something with expandable storage (part of the reason I moved away from my Pixel 6 is because I ran out of storage), and I didn't have a lot of money to get an expensive phone. While I overall liked the Moto G, I did notice it was slower and laggier than my Pixel 6, which at this point was released 5 years ago. I accidentally dropped my Motorola, shattering the screen, and so have moved back to my Pixel 6. It's still going great, however the charging port port doesn't hold wires anymore, so charging is iffy.

With this, I've started thinking about what to do if my Pixel 6 just stops charging. When I was first getting into smartphones, I remember phones like the Nexus 5, or OnePlus 3T which were about $300 phones but could keep up or outperform the much more expensive iPhones at the time. Do those sort of phones still exist? I get with inflation $300 may be too cheap now, but I'm just not aware of really good but affordable phones.

Hello ops!
I have been an Apple ferson since nagkaruon ako ng phone but I am leaning towards bumili ng Android Phone ngayon as a spare phone. Will be using my IP16 PM as may main phone for eveything but bibili ng Android for Gaming (ML), Media Streaming and Hotspot. Budget is ₱30K, any suggestions? Thank you so much

I live in the US, budget is flexible but really don't want to spend over 1k if possible. Not interested in a Chinese brand phone unless I can't find any other options.

Currently using an old Motorola g stylus from 2021. I like the size and battery life but I mostly use it for games and it's pretty weak, can't do 3d games at all.
Wanting to upgrade but even after doing tons of research I just keep going back and forth. Feels like every phone has some deal breaker.

My father used Samsungs and always liked them. I looked at the S25 Ultra and the S26 lineup in particular but things like a green line, battery quickly draining/heating up/bursting/exploding worry me. I know that every product has its quality issues and I'm sure the vast majority of users don't experience problems but this is an investment for me. I can't afford to buy again in a year or two I need to make it last at least 4 or 5 years.

Also reviews are all over the place. Some say it stays cool while gaming others say it turns into lava in 30 minutes and shuts down. Others say the phone lasts all day others say you'll drain the whole battery just playing games for a few hours. It's just so hard to figure out what to believe.

The other phone I was considering was the upcoming Motorola Signature 27. Mostly because I'm already used to Motorola and its coming with the newest chip so figured it would be pretty good for games. Seems to have a bigger battery too.
But I see people complaining about software and updates for Motorola phones but I don't really get that either. Nothing on my current phone that hasn't updated in years has stopped working. If I'm not working for some elite corporation or the government do I really need constant updates?

There's also those gaming phones like the red magic but people say they fall apart after a couple of years and it feels like I'm sacrificing too much just to focus on one thing.

Right now I am leaning towards the S25 Ultra or S26 Ultra but I'm really not confident in my choice. The more time I spend researching the more issues I find with every single phone including those two. No one seems happy with what they have. There's just too many options and I have no idea what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a phone under ₹25k and currently considering the Nothing Phone (3a).

My priorities are UI, camera, everyday performance, and long-term reliability. Im also not a gaming hardcore player, so gaming isn't a major concern.

TL;DR: Is the Nothing Phone (3a) worth buying under ₹25k, or are there better options? Would appreciate advice from actual users!

Hey, anyone have any idea which would be better? They're roughly the same price (nothing phone is $20aud more)

I'm searching for a phone around indian currency 50k in INDIAA

Requirements

Good camera for personal use not photography, Good battery, fast charging and long term usage. Looking for my mother.

Also which is better nothing 4a or 4a pro, thought to go for it.

Please suggest some better options, will buy offline as yesterday owner quoted rupees 51k for 12 256 nothing 4a pro.

Please HEYPPPP MIIII👿🙏

Had a Galaxy Note 9 Exynos which I bought when it was available in my country (7-8 years), been using it as a secondary phone ever since. Then I put LineageOS on it and it's still going to this day but it's definitely showing its age in more ways than one.

I want something compact, not too expensive, will get at least 4 years of software updates. Priorities from high to low: Battery life, good software (closest to stock Android), performance (not too high performance; don't game on this phone), cameras (not a camera guy).

Thinking about either Nothing Phone (4a) Pro or Pixel 10a, but want your thoughts!

​

1.unlockable bootloader

2.good photos

3.minimum 1 mil antutu

4.great modding support

5.water resistant

Im Sorry if these are a Little strict or hard to find

I Heard Oneplus and pixels are good for these things but i dont know what to pick because i Need the hardware to last atleast 5 years

What are some phones that have these things?

So im trying to look for a good android tablet under £400 as i love my a53 but i want a tablet to game and watch movies and maybe a bit of drawing but ya if anyone can please leave a suggestion thank you

I’ve been using my S23 Ultra for over 2 years and I’m still really happy with it. Recently I won a Z Fold8 in a contest. This is actually my second Fold8: I won one earlier this year too, sold it sealed, and honestly regretted never even trying it. Now I have another chance, and I can’t decide whether to switch or sell it again.

What I’d miss from the S23 Ultra: I use the S Pen a lot, and I know the Fold8 doesn’t support it. I’m also a bit worried about the crease, dust getting into the hinge, and the extra weight.

What draws me to the Fold: watching series and football on the big screen while commuting, multitasking, and the camera.

For those of you using the Fold8:

1. Did you miss the S Pen if you came from an Ultra?
2. How has the hinge and the inner screen held up after a few months?
3. Is the weight or thickness noticeable day to day?
4. If you were in my shoes, would you open it or sell it sealed?

Thanks in advance!

I want a phone for my mom. I have 2 options, Samsung M17 vs Moto G57 Power. Im getting the Moto(8/128) for 22k and The samsung(6/128) for 22.8k. Generally Moto's processor and battery and camera everything is better. But it provides only 1 year of OS updates meanwhile samsung provides 6 years. I want a phone that will work smoothly for minimum 4-5 years. My mom will use only YouTube, WhatsApp, Facebook and other normal apps. Please suggest me, what should I buy before BBD ends....

Hey all!

Typing this from my Nord 4 phone which I love, but unfortunately the battery seems dead (discharges rapidly and shuts down with an "empty battery" at 60% or so).

2 phones I'm looking into as a replacement are the Nothing Phone 4a and the Google Pixel 10A. The Nothing 4a can be gotten for 399 EUR, and the Pixel 10A can be gotten at 450 EUR.

Some things about what me and my phone use:

- I live in Belgium which can be quite rainy, does the difference in IP rating between these phones matter for that or will they both be fine for this?

- I don't really care much about the fastest charging since it's bad for phone batteries anyways. I prefer slower over night charging

- I don't game on my phone

- I do like taking some snapshots with my phone for memories (during backpacking trips, concerts, ... ). I like good image quality but its not like I want it to be professional level. That's too much to ask in the price range I'm in anyways.

- I mostly use the phone for casual stuff like YouTube, Reddit, social media, ... . Nothing intense.

- I like about 1.5-2 days of use on a single battery charge.

- I like phones to last about 3 years minimum. The OnePlus I have now is pretty disappointing in that regard but I guess it's just bad luck, I've had only OnePlus for years and this is the first time one died this quickly. I don't really care about the many years of Android support of the Pixel phones since in reality I fear the hardware won't live long enough for that to be of any real life use.

Considering these things, and the Google pixel costing 50 EUR more than the nothing phone 4a, which would you guys suggest I get and why?

Thanks in advance!

So basically I'm gonna buy my first phone. Here are the things I'm looking for:

1. Goated software

2. Longevity and software updates

3. I don't need good gaming experince I won't play much ,aybe a bit of fc one in a while I just want the game not make the mobile slow.

4. I can live with a decent camera.

I was looking for nord 5 but it seems unavailable rn. I'm open to one plus and samsung. I was looking for the Samsung a56 256 gb variant isn't it a bit too pricey for the mobile? Should I wait ? Or should I buy it? will it last me another 6 years or so? And any other recommendations y'all might have?

Bought myself ohone from tittle,my first non xiaoimi phone in 10 years. I dint oike it . Software is strange and buggy, display doesnt always shoe whos calling, dometimes dosplqy doesnt respond ezc etc. Having this phone i will never again talk crap about xiaomi phones.

Hi all, helping someone pick a phone in India. Hard budget is Rs 60,000.
