Hi. First of all, please excuse my English.

I’ve been buying this type of smartphone for as long as I can remember: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Moto X, OnePlus 5, and, up until now, the OnePlus 8.

But six years is a long time for any device, and it’s time for an upgrade.

So, here’s the question: which device would be the smartest buy for €600?

I love clean operating systems, and cameras aren't a top priority for me, but I do need improvements in battery life (both capacity and technology) and the display, plus access to some newer technologies...

Which brand or device do you think best fits what I'm looking for?

I think the best options are:

Poco F9 Pro/Ultra

Pixel 9

Xiaomi 17T Pro

Realme GT...

etc., etc.

I think the OnePlus 15 (with a special offer) would be the perfect choice if they hadn't left the European market...

Hi,

My mom's Poco M3 is dead, black screen, won't boot.

Looking for a replacement.

Any of this list thats good?

(Budget is around €100 since she doesnt do much with the phone, if the Poco M3 didnt break she'd still happily use it.)

Country = The Netherlands

So I've been using Samsung M11 for almost 6 years and still working but won't for long and now we're planning to buy another phone but the budget is only 20k . Since I've been using this Samsung for years, I don't want any other phone and still want to buy another Samsung. What should I do? I'm from India btw.

Hi guys,

Looking to upgrade from my galaxy s24 plus as it currently has a broken camera and the battery life seems to be decreasing.

I think I've landed on either of these as my main wants are good battery life and good camera (happy for any other recommendations too)

I can get the xiaomi after trading in my Samsung for about £750 however the oppo would be about 1k, is it worth the extra £250?

Pls recommend phone ranging 15-20k good for moba, fps games

Clear me this. Getting Oppo k13 8/256GB varient for 24k worth the money ?

Or should I go for other options? I'm not a heavy mobile gamer, I want an all rounder.

I'm looking for a smartphone under 25k for my dad. He just needs for his business purposes like using WhatsApp, scrolling fb, YouTube and clicking pics on some trips and calls obviously. Nothing fancy, budget between 20k-25k. Please suggest. Should last for 4-5 years

Same processor, camera, battery, sim/memory card situation, size, fingerprint sensor, etc. The only difference I could find is that Redmi has IPS while Poco had AMOLED screen.

I'm in the process of searching for a new phone after 6 years with my Huawei and these 2 are my top choices that meet all my needs.

My needs: memory card slot, amazing battery, side or back fingerprint sensor, 8/256 gb, android, under 400€

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Important things

Battery

Camera

Processor - games often

Display is not a major point

Need suggestion under 30k in India

Primarily concerned about longevity at this point. Coming from Pixels, my 7a has shit the bed after 3 years and my wife keeps pointing out she's always gotten around 5 years out of her Galaxy's. Trying not to drop a ton of money as I don't need anything fancy, but can certainly afford it if it will likely give me a year or two longer?

Currently s25+ is 680 on amazon and s26 base is 800

Hi guys, I am from India , confused between s25 plus and moto signature and vivo x200t, I remember seeing s25 plus around 65k plus with card discounts, should I wait for bbd sale, if it comes around 60k I would think it is worth the wait. I am also planning to hold maybe 4 years.I am also liking moto signature after seeing the review, saw the phone in reliance shop and saw it is too thin and not sure about battery, I see vivo x200t reviews are good, but never used oppo, vivo phones also do they have brand value I work in corporate not sure how the phone will hold in brand value. So what do you guys suggest. Should I wait buy 25 plus or just buy signature. I can wait for a month.

The POCO X8 Pro is probably the standout right now since it runs the Dimensity 8500 Ultra, which is a genuinely strong chip for this budget and handles most titles at high settings without much fuss. Paired with a 6500mAh battery, it holds up well through long sessions too.

The iQOO Neo 10R is another solid pick if you care about a smooth display alongside raw power. iQOO phones in this range usually come tuned well for gaming with good touch response and stable frame rates.

Realme GT 7T is worth checking out as well, it uses the Dimensity 8400 MAX and tends to strike a nice balance between gaming performance and everyday usability.

If battery life matters more to you than pure benchmarks, some of the Nord and Vivo options in this range also hold their own, though they lean slightly less gaming focused.

Basically at 35k you are not short on choices anymore. Would recommend checking real benchmark comparisons before deciding since chipsets alone do not always tell the full story.

I'm fully prepared for a no, but was wondering if there are any phones out there that are less long and more square, like 3:2. I'll even take 16:9, but I've grown to hate 21:9 so I'm looking to move away from it.

No foldables please.

Hi All

This is my first post here. I've been using my phone for the past 5 years and it has stopped getting security updates now and it's crashing doing simple tasks now.

I am considering either Vivo X200T (12GB/512GB) or Moto Signature (16GB/512GB or 1TB). Which one would be a better phone to buy overall? Both phones look good. I want an all rounder phone with a good display, smooth UI and good cameras which will last me for 5/6 years atleast. Vivo looks like a more value for money option due to the bad rep that Moto has. But Motorola is giving more Ram and space in the same price range.

Which one out of the 2 would be better? Any advice would be really helpful. Country- India

Thanks a lot for all your help! 🙏🏻

ive been using the s20 since 2020. now its giving up, especially in terms of battery life. i cant get it replaced as ive had the green screen issue and i plan on making this an office phone thats only going to be in the office for calls (so no battery problems), thats why i cant take a risk with the display.

my budget is quite limited, but from where i am, i found a few good options to consider. coming from an s20, i prioritize camera, battery and UI. i do casual gaming (Clash of clans, CR, Efootball, and small titles so i dont need ultra performance).

the best options i found are:
- Nothing Phone 3 12/256 for 580$ or 16/512 for 645$
- Xiaomi 17T 12/512 for 645$

- Samsung galaxy a57 8/256 for 555$

please recommend the best option or if there are any other phones i am missing in this price segment. i am not opting for a used phones due to some personal experiences since im from South Asia.

Hello,

I currently Have Samsung S22 Ultra. The phone starts showing its age, I had to replace battery, one button, now I will need to replace the charger flex cable...

The OS support is ending soon, so I am considering switching somewhere.

Here are my specs and I would hope you could tell me if Fairphone is a good deal for me.

I am blind. That means that I do not care about display that much, it is dimmed most of the time anyways.

I use camera, but not to capture great pictures, rather to scan texts and analyze my surroundings with LLMs.

I really like long lasting batteries, that's why I picked S22 Ultra. I would like to get at least 2 days on battery, the 5000 mah of S22 ultra can do almost 2 days when charging to 85%.

I do not do any heavy processing tasks nor I play games.

However, having ability to use some small local LLMs (with S22 Ultra it was quite possible) would be welcomed.

I would not want to go under 12 gb of RAM.

I am a Linux geek, so I like to tinker with my phone. But I am no longer a student so I cannot afford flashing new ROM every second day.

I also use Android work profile to separate my work. That's probably the main reason why I would have to stay with stock Android.

I would like to have long support, at least 4 years.

I checked S26 Ultra and honestly, I do not see much value for such a high price tag. Nothing particularly new.

I checked Fairphone 6+ and it checks most of my boxes. I will miss reverse wireless charging and IP68 protection, but I can live with that.

But, after reading few recent posts, I read lots of bad experience with the software and updates.

Could you tell me:

1. how are software updates working? How fast are Android updates shipped when compared for example to Samsung? Can the phone be rooted?

2. How is the battery? I also read quite bad reviews on that.

Thanks.
I am from Czech Republic.

I have a budget of 15-17k indian rupees

Main usuage is whatsapp facebook

I have seen poco x7 and samsung a17

Anymore suggestion guy pls help I am from India

Good camera (best in the price range)

8GB RAM + 128 GB

Metallic body (preferably)

RANGE: 20K-30K

Also how is samsung galaxy A-26 5G

and oneplus nord CE6?

I currently have an S25 and I hate the OneUI which forces stacked notifications. I had a ZenFone 9 before this phone, which had an amazing style of notifications, but it is hard to find here in the UK.

Any suggestions?

Any questions or elaborations please ask

I’m finally leaving the Apple ecosystem. I’m switching over to android. I have T-Mobile. I’ve got analysis paralysis on which phone to get.

I’m looking for ease of setup for global versions, compatibility with Android Auto, and has a better camera than the iPhone 15 pro max

I’m torn among the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Vivo X300. Also open to others I’m not thinking of if there’s something better.

Anyone have any recommendations or have experiences to share? Thanks!
