I'm considering the Samsung S25 Ultra or the Honor Magic8 Pro, or maybe something else.

I have a few requirements for the phone:

My budget cannot exceed €850 (both of these phones are available within this budget in my country).

I want at least 6 years of software support, as I replace my phones very rarely.

A good camera is very important to me. I often take photos of animals (they're frequently far away), landscapes, and occasionally flowers and insects, so good zoom and macro capabilities are a plus.

The battery should have a minimum capacity of 5,000 mAh.

I'd really appreciate your help and recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, hope all of you are doing well. But something is not well, MY PHONEEE.

So I'd be very grateful to all of you if you can help me find a decent phone for me under 30-35k in India.

My usage will be- basic usage most of the time, I'm not a heavy gamer, not a photo addict, nothing exemplary.

I'll be starting my master's degree this year and my current phone is in very bad condition (POCO X3), but I'm grateful to it that it supported me for sooo long. Therefore I want to get a new phone so that POCO can now rest in peace.

I want a clean UI, subtle elegance, decent storage, ram, and performance. NOT BULKY design, handy design like that of iPhones and pixels. It would be best if the phone is compact like under 6.3 or 6.5 inches. Also I can pay fully if under 30k but will be opting for emi if the budget needs to be increased.

Tldr:- Want suggestions for a smartphone that is compact with decent performance overall at around 35k.

What phone should I buy that cost between $200-$600 that isn't used or refurbished. My current phone is a Motorola G Power 2025. I prioritize in decent cameras,good battery life and decent performance, software support doesn't bother me at all I upgrade every 2 years anyways

Hello, aiming to replace my Poco F6 Pro if there is a sensible alternative. Nothing against the phone, it served me well so far - but I expect the phone prices to skyrocket soon so I was thinking it might be a good idea to upgrade if it's still possible before it starts showing its age.

Country: EU

Carrier: unlocked

Price: Around 1000EUR, but can spare some more if a sensible upgrade is possible, I'm somewhat elastic with that

Size: "normal", no specific preferences, normal form factor so no flips etc

What it will be used for: potentially games, storing a lot of media locally to watch/read, more graphics intensive gacha maybe

Preferred brands: none, I don't mind Poco phones from previous experience

Other: good battery, NFC support for contactless payment, 512GB+ storage, Google services a must, available at "normal" retailers without the need to get it from abroad (mostly no need for a CN import is what I mean by this), new, 2 SIM support, would expect good screen but not necessarily top of the line

Thanks for the help!

I currently have a POCO X6 Pro, but I'm looking to upgrade. I take a lot of photos and videos, so I'd love to hear your opinion. Which one do you think I should buy: the iPhone 17 Pro Max or the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Hi I'm from Poland, have a moto g55 but it started to break on me I don't actually care that much for the camera or picture-taking I'm jsut hopiing for something with no bloatware/no sponsored apps and preferably good battery life

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new Android phone. My preferred budget is €100-200, but I can stretch it to around €250 if it's really worth it.

The reason I'm replacing my current phone (Redmi 13C 5g) is that the experience has been terrible since day one (by that I mean it's an absolute piece of shit not even worth 10€).

Here are some of the issues I've had since I bought it:

- Frequent freezes (usually 30+ seconds)

- Apps randomly closing

- Regular calls and WhatsApp calls don't even ring 70% of the time, I just get a notification after or when I open the app manually

- WhatsApp messages and regular messages, I never get notifications until I manually open the app

- The phone becomes extremely slow when using Waze, especially in warm weather.

- overheats quite easily for no reason in normal weather

- The battery struggles to last 7h with no use except normal background apps

- The final fucking straw : my alarm didn't ring one morning because it apparently crashed in the background, which made me miss work

Because of that, my number one priority is reliability.

I'm not looking for the fastest phone or the best camera. I just want a phone that : works normally in regular use, is smooth in everyday use, doesn't randomly freeze, receives notifications instantly, has a reliable alarm clock, handles GPS without overheating, lasts at least a full day on a charge, will remain reliable for several years (all things I thought would be standard for a 200€ phone but apparently not)

I'm also open to refurbished phones, as long as they're from a reputable seller.

I don't want another Redmi/Xiaomi entry-level phone after this experience.

So, if you had €100-200 (up to €250 max**)**, what would you buy today and why?

Thanks a lot !

Should i buy Realme gt7 for ₹36k it has 512 gb storage 12gb ram. And if not could you tell me why

I am currently using s20 fe 5g

Wanna switch to either the one plus 10T

Pixel 7

Which one is better

Is it worth the switch

Sto cercando uno smartphone da 6.3 pollici o da 6.6 pollici (oppure comodo da tenere in mano) che abbia una batteria che possa durare tranquillamente 2 giorni e che non scaldi tanto. Al momento ho Oneplus 13s ma la batteria dura a malapena un giorno.

Avete qualche consiglio?

Grazie un anticipo

256gb+storage, a good display, good performance, and a good ui

256gb or more storage, a good display, good performance, and a good ui

good battery life and good camera (good I mean for this kinda of budget)

-Italy flair
So I ended up rounding down the selection of my possible choices for these 3 phones.
-Nothing Phone 4(a)
-Samsung Galaxy A57
-POCO X8 PRO

Aside from the usual phone uses, I use mine to play two games and that's about it; which honestly occupy a lot of space. Aside that the only one Im not so sure to buy is the POCO one, given my poor experience with previous Xiaomi phones and their OS.
And honestly the Nothing looks cool as fuck.
What do you say folks, what may be the best choice?

​

I recently bought this oppo k13 on offline store in May month but ya the price is hiked till that time and I bought it in 24k 8 GB ram and 256 GB storage

And after use of may be around 2 months I find it's intresting and the best decision cause in this price range nobody is giving a snapdragon processor, Decent camera , high performance and such a huge backup of battery i only chare it for 80 percen but and easily you can use 8hrs or 9 hrs smoothly

Good AI feature and good display with lots of AI features

If your budget is around 20-25k this is must be a solid option For all round usage Or may be You can go with

CMF phone 2 pro if available

Redmi 15

SAMSUNG

Or nothing phone 3a .

I was looking to get a S24U , is it worth? i found it at 580 euro but i saw some bad reviews about it.

Someone told me this about it
"The phone has its fair share of drawbacks. One of the most noticeable is the well-known screen grain issue, which can become visible at certain brightness levels. It's also a two-year-old device at this point, so the battery won't be as strong as what you'd get from a newer flagship. The sharp, boxy corners can also make it less comfortable to hold for long periods. As for the cameras, only one of them really performs well in low-light conditions, while the other two are closer to what you'd expect from a mid-range phone. On top of that, the 45W charging speed feels a bit underwhelming for a premium flagship."

I really dont know if i should get it or not please help me

Been saving up for a while and I've got around ₹28.5k rn. I can stretch the budget a bit if it's actually worth it, but I don't wanna overspend just for the sake of it.

Lowkey been eyeing the Samsung FE lineup because it seems like the safest option, but idk if it's really the best buy in 2026.

I'm not into heavy gaming or anything. Just want a phone that's smooth, has a solid camera, good display, decent battery, and won't start acting up after a year. Basically something I can use comfortably for the next 3-4 years.

Should I just go for an FE, or are there better options around this price? Drop your suggestions (and tell me what to avoid too lol). Real user experiences > spec sheets.

united states. I'm looking for a phone that takes better still shots of my art. I need the photos to come out with true colors. I keep having an issue with the A54 where it washes out yellows entirely and overall is very cool toned. I need a phone with good storage or expandable memory and one that can shoot reels with the front camera. Any suggestions ?

Replacing my old P6 this week (since my P8 Pro died a couple years ago, battery is terrible, charging port is broken, etc.) And looking to spend $350 to $500. This led me to these three options.

P10 is from US Mobile for $369 with a new line (which I plan on doing no matter which phone), 128 gb.

Moto G Stylus is from Motorola - get a moto watch, loop buds, and charging block - $130 off with trade in to total $469 for 256 gb.

Nothing 4a pro is $449 from Nothing for a 128 gb.

OS doesn't matter as much to me since I run OLauncher, although benefits from staying in the Pixel system could be nice- to be honest I've forgotten what it's like to not have a Pixel.

Major factors to me are camera and battery life- although I am happy with my P6 camera so I don't mind a sidegrade, my S/Os iPhone 16 is nice. Gaming for me consists of occasional Magic Survival and Brawl Stars so benchmarks aren't as important. I do prefer a smaller phone.

I am looking to buy a new smartphone, and could use some recommendations.

These are my requirements:

- 12gb ram

- 512 gb storage

- 7000mAh battery (or close)

- good enough camera

- with audio jack preferred

I don't play games, but would want some smooth performance.

Can anyone suggest me one, my budget is 40 ± 5k, location, India.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new Android phone, but I'm struggling to find something that fits what I want.

My priorities are:

- Clean Android experience (similar to Pixel, Nothing OS or Motorola).

- Good integration with Google services, especially Gemini and Android Auto.

- Wireless charging (my car has a wireless charging pad, so I'd really like to keep this feature).

- Around €300 or less.

- Preferably 256 GB of storage.

The problem is that it seems impossible to find a phone that checks all those boxes.

Pixels are too expensive for what they offer in storage (around €400 for 128 GB in my country).

Nothing has software that I really like, but as far as I know, the Phone (3a) doesn't support wireless charging.

Motorola (especially the Edge 60 Neo) looks like the closest option because it has a near-stock Android experience and wireless charging, but I'm wondering if I'm missing another phone.

Is there any other model I should consider, or is the Motorola Edge 60 Neo basically the best fit for these requirements?

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

So yesterday all of a sudden my phone of 5 years gave up (rest in peace you've served me well) and now I'm trying to find a good replacement.

My budget is around 1000€, but ideally I'd love to find something cheaper. I mostly need it for daily use, just scrolling through social media, and from time to time play some games and emulate stuff. I'm a student so I'm away from home for long so battery life is important to me. As you can see from my previous phone I want something to last since i don't want or have the means to replace it after a year or two.

From my quick research today and yesterday, I'm seeing really good stuff about the OnePlus 15 and I've found it for 800€. The only negative that comes up is the camera quality which doesn't matter to me. Samsung Galaxy S26+ is also one I'm hearing a lot about and I can get it for 730€. According to the internet the Samsung one is going to have support for a lot longer than the OnePlus, but its smaller battery life worries me.

I'm sure there are many more devices I don't know about, let alone having considered them, so feel free to suggest any other you might think its worth it. Thank you!

Estoy pensando en comprar un celular teniendo en cuenta que estos dos modelos cuestan casi lo mismo, prácticamente lo usaría para grabar partidos, jugar ciertos juegos no tan exigentes y también me interesa el tiempo de duración de la batería pero es algo que se podría negociar ya que no suelo utilizarlo de forma muy continua. Si tienen otras opciones de empresa de celulares háganlo saber.

Muchas gracias de antemano!!
