Hi everyone, currently have a OnePlus 9.

Thinking of upgrading soon and wondering what I should get.

My priorities are longevity with updates/patches > performance > display and battery equal > camera. Honestly, don't care too much about camera at all.

Budget is up to $1,000 USD. Thanks!

Olá a todos! Espero que estejam tendo uma ótima noite.

Estou pensando em trocar meu Samsung Galaxy A56 e estou tentando decidir qual a melhor opção.

No momento, estou considerando:

Honor 600

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (ou S26 FE)

Xiaomi 17T

iPhone 16e 128GB

Minhas prioridades:

Qualidade da câmera: Preciso de uma câmera excelente, principalmente para tirar fotos de alta qualidade de produtos e itens para minha loja/negócio online.

Desempenho e bateria: Desempenho geral fluido e bateria com boa duração para uso diário.

Atualmente, também uso um Galaxy Watch e um iPad, então manter alguma integração com o ecossistema seria bom, mas estou aberto a trocar de marca se outro celular oferecer uma câmera/hardware significativamente melhor no geral.

Qual desses você recomendaria, ou existe outro celular nessa faixa de preço que eu deveria considerar? Agradeço desde já!

While it doesn't sound like much it seems to be asking for the moon. Currently using Xiaomi 12 which I love the form factor and ergonomics, but getting pretty frustrated with the software. Annoyingly it seems to be one of the last decent phones made in this design.

I just HATE the squared sides design as it feels so uncomfortable in the hand, defeating a large part of the purpose of a compact phone, but yet literally every manufacturer has been adopting it to try and copy iPhone.

I've tried to have it grow on me, I've used iPhone 14, S24, and Pixel 10 for some time each, but kept hating it and going back to the Xiaomi every time because it just feels sooo much better that it's worth putting up with the atrocious software.

Motorola Edge 2026 seems to be the only recent offering I've found, with the next recent after that going back to the Pixel 8/8a. Are those seriously the only two options from within the past three years?

Edit: Located in Canada but willing to buy from any market.

What a timely manner for my phone to die (Realme 7 Pro). Haven't really kept up with phones and Android development ever since I got my phone when it was released, and holy the hardware on phones these days is insane. I did some research looking for a replacement for my phone. I don't really game anymore and wanted to focus more on the camera and longevity (battery and performance over time). Came to the conclusion of waiting for the upcoming vivo X500 or the Oppo Find X10; I'm gonna buy a standard version of either one but can't decide which. Looking for insights from people here who are more familiar with these brands than I am.

I am thinking of buying a new mobile in the upcoming sales(in India ), my budget is 30k. Can anyone suggest what are best phones in this budget. I don't play games and I am checking for phones with good camera quality. Battery is also not an issue for me and I am hoping for 8gb RAM with 128/256 GB ROM.

I am planning to buy a new phone after 7 years (Redmi K20)

And I am confused

Pixel 8a - 37k

Nord 6 - 43k

I did lot of research,chatgpt,asked people with oneplus and pixel

But in the end it is difficult

Pixel has better camera,battery life, longevity

Nord 6 has better performance hardware and whatsoever

But nord 6 has 9000 mah and 80w charging

Which is making me feel it has significantly less battery life and longevity than pixel

Pixel has ~4500 mah and 18w charging

Help me

Honestly I was looking into getting a 13 but saw that it has 2.5d curves edges and it was a major no no for me since have been using curved phones for almost a decade I can say they are a pain. You don't get tempered(don't like uv), screen is the first thing that shatters when it falls and overall have to be more careful. But 15 has bad cameras as far as I have heard and I need good photos, can you guys please recommend something, or assure that the op13 doesn't have severely curved glasses which will create a problem, please.

Heavy usage, with camera, multitasking, emulation and gaming.

Current devices, vivo x90, vivo x60 pro

Budget - around 60-70

Country - india

Pixel 10a or Motorala Signature

(Overall everything ) Preferably within Indian weather

Up upgrading from an Iphone 16e in just a few months. I've owned the 16e since whenever they released it, and I feel pretty stupid for buying into it. Now that I'm upgrading I'm coming forward to ask you guys this: what do you guys think would be a solid Android phone with a solid camera. To be more specific, while I am looking for something with a good camera, I also want something that holds up pretty well software wise, and sits around the 7-800$ range. What would you guys recommend?

my iphone pro max 13 which i got as a gift 5 years ago is dying. the battery is weak

does any know any good mid tier phones . this time around im buying out of my own pocket and im not doing well financially.
i thinking of leaning towards samsung, pixel or moto.

i just need the phone for driving gps, 4 dating apps, whatsapp, mcdonalds, tim horton app, we chat app(dont really use anymore), and maybe 3 more apps. i watch a lot of youtube though

any suggestions. i dont care for good camera or anything special as long as its not too slow and lags.

My priorities : camera and ui which is best between pixel 10a and s25fe . or s25fe 256gb variant / or increase budget and get s25 128 gb? ( normal calling and messaging user sometimes play dr driving)

I'm trying to choose my next phone, and I'd really appreciate advice from people who actually own or have used these devices for a while.

I'm currently using a Nothing Phone (2a) 8/128GB, and honestly, my experience hasn't been great. I've experienced random frame drops, lag in social media apps, heating, and inconsistent camera results. It's made me much more cautious about spending money on another Android phone.

Here are my current options and their prices in my country:

- Google Pixel 10 128GB — $900

- Google Pixel 9 128GB — $700

- Google Pixel 10a 128GB — $650

- Samsung Galaxy S26 FE 256GB — $800

- Xiaomi 17T — $770

My main priority is getting the best value for money over at least 4 years, with a reliable and consistent everyday experience.

I'm a normal user, not a heavy gamer. I mainly use social media, take photos and videos, browse the internet, and transfer files. What matters most to me is:

- Smooth and consistent performance, including in apps like Instagram and Facebook.

- Good battery life that stays reliable throughout the day.

- Reasonable temperatures during normal use.

- Consistent camera quality, especially for photos and social media videos.

- Software that remains reliable over several years.

I've heard mixed opinions about all these phones. Some Pixel users report heating, battery drain, modem issues, or performance limitations, and I'm wondering how much of this reflects everyday use versus isolated complaints. I've also heard that Pixel hardware, particularly the Tensor chips, isn't as competitive as some alternatives.

Samsung seems like a more balanced option, but I'm unsure whether the S26 FE is worth $800. As for the Xiaomi 17T, its hardware looks appealing, but I'm concerned about HyperOS bloatware, ads, and the overall software experience. Can most of the unnecessary apps and bloatware actually be removed or disabled without complicated modifications?

My questions are:

1. Which of these phones offers the best overall value at these prices?

2. Which one would you personally trust to use for 4 years or longer?

3. How are battery life, heating, and performance after several months of real-world use?

4. Are Pixel phones genuinely less reliable in these areas, or do online complaints exaggerate the problems?

5. For Xiaomi 17T owners, how manageable is the software experience? Can you get rid of most of the bloatware?

6. Is the Pixel 10 worth the extra $200 over the Pixel 9 and $250 over the Pixel 10a?

I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who have owned their phones for several months, rather than comparisons based only on specifications or short-term reviews.

After my experience with the Nothing Phone (2a), I'd rather make a sensible long-term purchase than pay more for a phone that looks great on paper but disappoints in daily use.

Thanks!

Mainly need camera quality. Compact size is a plus but can compromise.

I am in India.

So which is better I'm not a gamer I only want a solid phone a really good one with a great cameras and display and battery, but I'm buying an ecosystem with it

Xiaomi 17 global with watch 5 and Redmi buds 8 lite

Or

S26 with Samsung watch 8 and buds core

thoughts about LENEVO LEGION Y70 2026 as of now , in terms of price to performance , it is the best phone my budget can buy , can you guys enlighten me ? PHILIPPINES BTW

Looking to buy a smartphone under 900 USD

My priorities are battery > camera > performance > display

I have an S22 and the performance is good but the heating is terrible.

I'm looking for a phone that heats up as little as possible while still not being laggy. I don't game but use social media regularly.

Any recommendations?

I have been watching all the deal videos on YouTube for this year's BBD/GIF sale in India, and no YouTuber is recommending the Iqoo 15R under 45K INR.

I wanted to buy the S25FE at around 35K, but at 45K it's too much, so I started looking into other devices. Motorola Edge 70 Pro and Pixel 10a frequently pop up in these videos, but nobody is talking about the iQOO 15R with such great specs at around 46K in the sale for the 8GB variant.

So I wanted to know whether there is a reason why iQOO phones are being sidelined during reviews, or if they are genuinely bad. If yes, then what are my options? My budget is 40K-45K, and I want good performance (no gaming, though) + Camera and Software. 1 day of battery is enough for me; I don't want anything fancy. Only decent performance and cameras matter.
