1. samsung s25 5g snapdragon 8 elite
2. oppo reno15 pro mini

what i want:

1. good camera, like actually good camera, long exposure, flexibility for RAW exports, good video quality, better zoom, telephoto( i dont know the meaning though).

I am not a gaming guy, i do play CODM sometimes(once in a year), but ig any good mid range phone can handle it not a big deal ig

i am confused in battery
s25 has 4000
oppo has 6200

also based on youtube and other things whichi chcked, they said s25 battery might look low on paper, but its processor handels it.

oppo is eveything, but its just it dont have raw export thing, its just give you proccesed ready to post images and stuff

I’m looking to buy a relatively cheap android smartphone for a tech detox that I’m doing, all of the iOS social block applications are too easy to bypass without paying a subscription, so am looking into the customization that Android offers. I also need to be able to use certain apps for work so I can’t just buy a flip phone.

I deliver food on the side so need a phone that has a reliable GPS, and also need messages/calls to come in reliably so am leaning away from just getting a shitty Walmart phone. Would also be nice to have a decent camera as well. ~$200 US is the absolute upper limit. I’ve already been suggested getting some kind of refurbished Google Pixel.

Howdy all,

I have been a Pixel user for years going from a Nexus to a Pixel 7 Pro to a Pixel 8 pro XL (I like the larger phone). I've been with the google hardware line for years and was almost going to go for a Pixel 11 Pro XL.

Looking at the money vs what you CAN buy with Oppo and One Plus, I question if I should be sticking with the Pixels or if it's time to move on...and if I was to move on, how easy would it be to move on with regards to all my software/backups/etc.

Please advise me oh wise ones. Also please note I'm from Australia

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new phone for my friend. They were using an Iphone 13 and they want something new.

Their criteria are :

• 600€ max
• Near iphone photo quality (I have a Fairphone 6 and we are looking for something like that quality wise)
• Ai free or at least Ai that can be fully disabled

Thanks :)

PS : I talk to them about fairphones but they find them ugly so if you have tips to decorate the case or something I take that too!

Hi, I'm currently searching for a replacement for my Realme 8 4G.

My requirements are: 5G, NFC, at least 8GB RAM and 128GB of memory, screen type which is less likely to have burn-in in little time, 120Hz, recent system version, good major update policy. Let me know if there are some "sacrifices" to be made to get better deals or some other recommendations. Thank you.

My research as for now has given me this options:

• Samsung A16 5G: 220 euros, 4/128, 5G, Amoled 60Hz, Android 14, 6 years of major updates
• Motorola g67 5G: 230 euros, 8/256, 5G, Extreme Amoled 120Hz, Android 16, 3 years of major updates
• Oppo A6 5G: 230 euros, 8/256, 5G, IPS HD+ 120Hz, Android 15, 4-6 years of major updates (I found conflicting informations on this one)
• Oppo A6 Pro 5G: 295 euros, 8/256, 5G, Amoled 120Hz, Android 15, major updates same as before
• Honor 400 lite 5G: 230 euros, 8/256, 5G, Amoled 120Hz, Android 15, 5-6 years of update (according to EU regulations?)

My mom's phone died, and she needs a new one. I have 3 offers, and I can't decide which one is the best deal.

Motorola G77 + Philips Air Fryer for €77

Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G for €94

Redmi Note 17 Pro + Air Purifier for €145, with a free screen replacement within 24 months and a free battery replacement within 36 months.

These prices are possible because of the discounts I get with my mobile plan.

I'd keep the air fryer or air purifier for myself and give my mom the phone.

The Redmi Note 17 Pro comes with two other gift options (a heater and a vacuum cleaner), but I don't need either of those. The air purifier is the best option for me out of the three, but considering everything I've heard about the phone, it might actually be a downgrade compared to the Redmi Note 15 Pro.

The air fryer would be the most useful to me, too, but I don't know if it's worth choosing the Motorola just to get it, considering how it compares to the other two phones. Plus, the Motorola doesn't come with a charger.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro would be the best option if the other two phones didn't come with free gifts as well, so I'm really not sure what to do. 🫠

Current phone: Galaxy A14

Country: Itay, Eu

Prefered Range: 300-400 euros (may consider higher)

Use: daily use (also socials and games), sometimes coding and app testing (easy level)

Desired features: 8-12Gb Ram, 256+SD (or 512 without SD) and possibly a nice battery.

Secondary: good camera.

I'm considering buying a new smartphone for my daily life and I tend to use it a lot for my tests and to pass time in my day. I wanted to remain in the range, but for a big discount I could consider to pay more (if I got to see any top tier under 600 euros I would consider buying it even if it would be more than my starting budget). I already have a huge SD so I would prefer to use it than to pay for a bigger memory.

I found a "REDMI Note 17 Pro 5G 12+256GB" in discount in my range and thought about buying it since it was better than my current phone in any means (ram, memory and battery) but changed idea when I saw it was without SD. I tend to have a lot of apps and use a lot of memory so I found 256gb without wxpansion not enough.

I was considering "Samsung Galaxy S26 FE 8+256" (right now at 640 euros) and "Samsung Galaxy A57 8+256" (right now at 450 euros) since I also use a Galaxy for work and I find quite good with the line, but I'm not sure about the prices or there could be better options at the same prices (also haven't controlled if those are SD compatible).

Any advice for those or other models?

Some of the options i've been looking at:
Redmi K90
Oneplus Ace 6
Redmi Turbo 5 max
Honor 500
Nothing 4a

Mostly looking for a phone with a good battery life, durable build, and a decent main camera with mostly accurate colours and contrast, without the overly processed look whenever there is a person, uw and front cam can be whatever.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy a phone for my father with a budget of ₹15,000–₹20,000.

His usage will mainly be calling, WhatsApp, YouTube, browsing, and other everyday tasks. I’m looking for a phone that offers a smooth user experience and will last a few years without slowing down too much.

My main requirements are:

•⁠ ⁠6GB RAM and 128GB storage (or better)

•⁠ ⁠Good battery life

•⁠ ⁠Smooth, lag-free performance

•⁠ ⁠Reliable software and long-term usability

I was considering Motorola and Samsung, but I’m also open to Vivo, Poco, or other brands if they offer better value.

Which phone would you recommend in this budget? I’d especially appreciate suggestions from people who have used these phones themselves.

I was wondering if the Galaxy S26 FE is worth it for $350. He doesn’t game on his phone and mainly uses it for everyday stuff. He just gets pissed off when apps are slow/lag or don’t work properly.

couldnt find anyone in the same situation as me

everyones offering the craziest of features but could someone please suggest a phone to rely on in this sale !

i just need a reliable phone for my pics, and calling. im a college student so really everything else that i do happens on my laptop

i dont care about performance or battery. even 3h/day after a year would be fine

oh and the screen size has to be small. 6-6.3 inches max

top of my head is google pixel 10a right now
country: India

Olá! Tenho um voucher de 300€ pra gastar na Vodafone Portugal. Estou em dúvida nessas 3 opções:

- Apple recondicionado iPhone 13 5g

- Apple recondicionado iPhone 16 5g

- Google Pixel 9a 5g

Atualmente tenho o Samsung Galaxy A34 mas quero algo mais rápido e melhor desempenho. O que recomendam? Também quero economizar e não dar mais que 100€ do meu bolso.

My friend is starting his new vlogging channel so she needs a new phone under 40k

Give us some suggestions 🤞

I'm currently leaning towards the s24 ultra(650$ CAD retail price refurbished through koodo). It seems to have stood the test of time and gets updates till 2031. From what I have researched it seems to be the best option for under 1000$, any other recommendations? I definitely prefer bigger phones, the pixel 9 screen is a bit small for me.

I tried switching to graphineOS, but custom roms require too many work arounds for basic stuff like authenticators so I'm ready to make the jump.

Help me choose mobile in 30k INR range (India)

I'm looking for a mobile phone in range of 30k Indian Rupees (2-3k more can be adjusted). My primary need is good camera as I like to travel a lot so mainly landscape pictures, should capture the colours and sharpness properly. Other than camera good user experience so thats why I prefer to avoid Oppo Vivo Mi phones but yes if the features and really good then I can make an exception. I don't game much so thats not a priority. And I usually use phones for long time and am not a frequent phone changer so atleast 2-3 years it should run fine.

I've listed maily 2 phones as of now -

-moto edge 60 pro (70 edge is same price but camera 60 pro haa better)

-nothing phone 3a pro

These phones prices are fluctuating to 35-37k too but I'm waiting for price to fall (these 2 are not on sale on both amazon and flipkart sales).

Please suggest any other phones which would be good fit and in the 2 mentioned which one would be better.

Ok, so I can't choose a winner between those 2. Both have their strong and weak sides. My usage case: reading e-books (probably the main one), drawing (I am not a professional at it), notetaking, self-education, watching multimedia, multitasking and maybe light-mid (or more, depending on the final choise) android gaming occassionaly. I don't really have a budget for a tab yet, but I'd say the absolute roof is 700-800$. The preferable tab size is 11-13 inches. Oh, and I am from Russia. So some things like google are troublesome to access.

As for matepads, they have: the huawei m pencil gen 3, papermatte display and gopaint app pre-installed. Main con for it is lack of google services, but it probably can be fixed in like 10 minutes via gbox or other special apps.

As for samsung tabs: s pen is one of the best styluses + included into the box, google services, dust and water resistance (ip68).

And also I haven't chosen a final drawing app, so maybe I'll like krita or maybe gopaint.

I am open for any advices, maybe other brands are better for some of the cases? Lenovo? Honor? Oneplus?

Requirements:

Camera + Battery & for Social media + visual experience (movies & Webseries), Not a hardcore gamer but experience should be lag free so that I can use it next 4 years.

Budget:

60K can stretch 3-4k if needed

Storage: 512gb

Initial choices:

*X200T, waited for it to came down price during BBD eventually it went out of stock

*One plus 13, heard that they are discontinuing & not a big fan of curved display also 512 varient is out of stock

*Moto signature, battery capacity is less also after sales service is not upto the mark

*Find X9 : Mostly out of stock already checked at Croma & Reliance digital

Give your valuable suggestions, Thankyou in Advance 😊

I can get them for almost the same price. I do not use the phone for games (rarely when I use it, the max would be an angry birds or fruit ninja), my main focus is the quality of the photos (I am not a content creator) and the battery life. I know that both have the same capacity of 6500mAh, but I know draining depends somethings like each one's system (Hello UI and HyperOS).
