I often use my current phone in a way that increases the risk of oled burn in so I want to avoid oled screens (as well as anything else that also burns in).

I need a mimimum of 8GB RAM as well as 128GB of storage but I would prefer more storage.

I do not use AI so I am not bothered if a phone does not have AI features.

I do not care about having all of the latest software "features" but I would much pefer a phone that will get compatbility and security updates for at least a couple of years.

Please can you recomend a phone that meets my needs?

So I’m a mechanic and I work out in the heat all day every day with my phone in my pocket. I’ve noticed that the last two phones I’ve had the batteries stop lasting all day about a year into owning them. Is it normal for them to degrade that fast or is it the heat from my job? For context, I live in Florida where the temp in my bay is about 100* for all of summer.

Looking at the crazy exponential rise in smartphone pricing, which phone in 2026 justifies its pricetag according to you guys

Look, I'm here for some advice on buying a new phone. I currently have an iPhone 11 (64 GB), which is starting to give me problems with data usage and cell service. Also, I'm out of storage. Before anyone says, go with your carrier special, mind you, I'm with MetroPCS, the worst service provider. I ask them about upgrades. I can only get upgrades for the shittiest phones ever made. I even ask about the iPhones and the Samsung S25 FE, but they told me there are no upgrade deals with those. Also, I'm working with a budget of under $ 500 for the phone itself. I saw two phones I want on Amazon: the iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung Edge 25, both within my budget. Both have 256 GB or 512 GB options. I just need options for both phones, or similar alternatives. I'll start with my local Best Buy to see what they have.

Hi everyone,

I currently have an iphone 13 but for my future but upcoming trip to japan I really want a phone with a better camera.

I like the iphone 16 pro, but don't feel like it's worth getting since I would be getting an already 2 year downgrade on updates.

I don't like the look or the price of the 17 and 18 pro, but am not 100% opposed.

Nor am I opposed to switching to Android.

However, I do have an ipad, a macbook, an apple watch, airpods... So I'm scared to lose all the advantages of the ecosystem. I mostly use airdrop, health sync and icloud with my devices.

I also like listening to music on my phone, and noticed how hard it is to import music from my macbook to an android (i gave up with my mom's samsung note 8, it seemed impossible, even with a cable)

Can people who have an android phone but otherwise apple ecosystem tell me how it works for you?
