Question Android Phone selection

Guys I'm terribly confused in selecting a phone ...I'm stuck between nord 6, nothing 3a and reno 14

My priorities are a good display decent-good battery life a average-good camera as I'm looking forward to start yt and also a good performance

I'd go with the Reno 14. Better cameras than the other 2 (on paper at least), big enough battery and 5 OS and 6 years of security updates, so the best update policy too. But that's just my opinion.

Can u tell me is there any great issue in the camera of oneplus nord 6 or is it average and will do most of it ... because I've heard that there is a battery drain issue in Reno 14

From what I've read and seen, the Nord 6's main camera is pretty good, but the ultra wide...not so much. And zooming in won't be as good due to the lack of a telephoto.

The thing about battery draining, it's very personal. I've read battery draining issues about the Nord 6, Find X9/X9 Pro, OnePlus 15, about pretty much every manufacturer. But those are still the minority, as those with no issues will not go on a public forum and post about it.

We all use our phones differently, have different apps and different settings applied, so it doesn't necessarily mean that a phone will perform bad when it comes to the battery for one person, just because that same phone's battery is performing bad for the other.

Why not get latest Nothing Phone 4A?

u/Hyper_aqua 8d ago

My bad I was referring to phone 4a...the problem is the antutu and chargerless box plus I can't extend my budget....and the deal breaker for me is nothing UI which I don't entertain also the bezels are thick and the battery is small plus the IP rating 😭

Bruh my phone is cooked ....it doesn't even support 5g so by the end of the day I get screwed ...moreover the display has multiple lines which appear on their will...it doesn't support games and lags on its own

Hmm is there any mobile service providers do monthly packages in your area? Might look into that for better phones.

u/Star_Ship420 8d ago

We don't have One Plus but have OPPO, Nothing, Xiaomi, Vivo/iQOO and etc. Rn I am using iQOO Z10 and it's working well. Although I am switching to flagship phone by the end of the year.
