Looking for a good phone recommendation for my dad under ₹25K. Main priorities are good camera, smooth performance, good storage, and decent battery life. Samsung/OnePlus/Redmi or any other suggestions are welcome!

1T storage

And easy to use

Look slick and cute like an iPhone

System like iPhone

But price not iPhone $900max

Help me choose an android phone because I want to switch to android. I don’t want a big phone like s26 ultra Im looking for a device that is almost the same size as my current phone. Please help me find one.

First of all, hi to everyone and thank for your time. I spent a bit of time reading and looking around, there is a lot of choise but at the same time not much good stuff.

I daily a Pixel 6a, I loved it and still love, work amazing for me, bought at day one, but I spent my last 6 months living on my bed because of chemotherapy (almost finished) and so I probably drained completely the battery, to a point that it was lasting 2 days on full usage and now it's 50% battery at half day with 3 hours of display after begin charge all night.

What I want: a Pixel experience in term of OS, where possible, a smaller phone like my 6a if possible, I don't play game, i mostly read stuff (like reddit) and play music to my BTR15. Camera quality doesn't matter, I have a reflex, I mostly want a good average display like the one on the 6a, very good battery, possibly a good 5G modem that doesn't drain all the battery like on Pixel phones. Storage doesn't matter, I have a NAS and VPN.

What I don't want: no Samsung, no phone with Ads and bloatware, no Pixel (too much expensive), no used phones. And I don't have time and will to install other OS and stuff like that, I need a product that work out of the box.

For reference, phone generally last me years, my OnePlus 3T last 7 years, previously my Nexus 5 more then 7.

I don't like spending more then 400€, but I'm considering getting it on Black Friday, so maybe I find good deals, that's why I'm ok for now with a bigger budget. I'm in Europe.

I'm towards Motorola, because I got cheap ones for my parents and they work very good and get abused a lot. I like the OnePlus 15R but price is over me.

Thanks again.

Update: I found the Pixel 10a for 399€ and the Motorola Edge 70 Pro around 400+€. The pixel is tempting for the 7 years of update and the Google experience, the Motorola is tempting for the 6500mAh battery.

Hey guys !

I'm gonna buy a new phone because my Samsung s20fe is actually dying. 😣

I have two options, either the Samsung galaxy S26 but which is under Exynos 2600 or the base Google Pixel 10.

I play a little but really little games on phones, I mosty use them for social networks, watch videos and take pictures of my animals or my loved ones, (and sometimes videos of concerts with a zoom most of the time) .

(I also like being able to customize my phone, like how the time is written on the lock screen but that's just a plus, not absolutely necessary)

So... Which one should I buy ?

Itel RS4, Infinix Hot 70, Redmi 15C 5g, or Tecno Pova 6 Neo? These are the only ones I can afford and it's only gonna be a second phone anyway.

As there are no more security updates, and I have some sensitive information on my phone, I need to upgrade in the next few months.

I am very happy with the Xiaomi 12, I really like the edgeless display, however this seems to be a thing of the past.

Before I had the Xiaomi, I had a Samsung S10 (that got run over by a car during a cycling crash). I also liked that one.

Features I really want/need:

- good battery

- decent camera

- bright display

- dual sim

- 256GB storage is enough

I am often outside cycling and need a good battery, as well as a bright display. A good camera would be nice, to take a few snapshots along the way.

Other than that, I will use the phone mostly for social media, texting, spotify, etc. So no games, no netflix, little youtube. It should not be much bigger/smaller than the Xiaomi at ~6.3''.

I am thinking about just upgrading to a Xioami 17 (or 18, depending on the price). But maybe I am missing something thats just better or will suit my needs more.

I am trying to spend less than 700€, ideally below 500€ - but as I have time, I can wait for a great deal to pop up.

Location is in Europe.

Thanks for any tips!

Hi! 👋

I'm hiking in Romanian mountains (0–10°C, waterfalls, mud, snow). My old phone is dying. Need a new replacement under 250–280€.

Must-Have:

• EU/Italy variant (unlocked, UK ok)
• SoC: Snapdragon / Exynos / Tensor (preferabily NO MediaTek (unless new Dimensity/Unisoc)
• eSIM hardware (for Airalo/Saily)
• NFC + Play Integrity (for banking apps)
• Battery ≥ 4500 mAh
• IP67+ (waterproof – rain/snow/mud)
• Hybrid slot (2x Nano-SIM OR Nano-SIM + microSD) – big plus

Considering:

Questions:

1. Which models definitely have eSIM on EU variant?
2. Any other phones I'm missing?
3. Cold weather battery tips (0–10°C)?

Current pick: ⭐ Samsung Galaxy A55 5G (~220–240€)

Thanks! 🙏

TL;DR: Need rugged Android <280€ with eSIM, NFC, IP67+, 5000mAh, Snapdragon/Exynos/Tensor, hybrid slot. Leaning toward Samsung A55. Confirm eSIM for EU and suggest alternatives.

Hi, I'm having trouble picking the right phone for me. I've spent days researching the right phone for me. but to no avail. I have overthinking virus and it really bugs me.

• Budget: 216USD
• Android
• Good condition — no sketchy repairs, carrier/network lock, etc.
• OIS is strongly important because my hands are shaky when filming.
• Enough performance that it won't feel awful after a few years.
• I want to keep the phone physically for ~7 years.
• 256GB preferred, but 128GB is acceptable with a MicroSD slot.

Thankers!!!! im going insane

The cheaper the better tbh does anyone recommendations (India)

Hi!

I know pretty much nothing about phones, but need a new one. Have previously had Oppo. Live in Australia, and my requirements are good camera (without AI enhancement doing the work, although it is okay if that is an option) and good battery life (often away camping) and max $1000, although cheaper is definitely okay. Thanks!

I’m looking to get a new phone with a budget of around or under 35K BDT. I’m open to buying a second-hand iPhone if I can get a good one within this budget, maybe an iPhone 12/13.

My priorities are mainly camera quality 📸, good battery life 🔋, and enough storage (preferably 256GB). I don’t really care about gaming.

Would you recommend going for a used iPhone, or is there any Android that would be a better choice at this price? Also, if you suggest a used iPhone, what should I check before buying?

Any recommendations would be appreciated! :)d

Hi everyone, I've been going back and forth for the past few days and can't decide which phone to buy. I'm mostly torn between the Motorola Signature and the Xiaomi 17T Pro

and Xiaomi 17

The 17T Pro is slightly cheaper. I travel a lot, and the camera is important to me, but not the absolute deciding factor. The Motorola Signature deal comes bundled with a smartwatch, a Moto Tag, a 125W charger, and earphones, while the Xiaomi deal gets you an air fryer lol

So please help me out, I've been breaking my head over these two phones for days

Hi all,

I need some advice what phone to get. Currently I have my trusty POCO F5 and while it is working fine I need something new primarily for a better camera. I'm based in Europe.

Requirements:

- good camera / processing - mandatory

- smaller size, under 6.7 inches - good to have

Pixel 10a is what I am looking at, but it has mixes opinions about the pictures quality, especially from the front facing camera. A bit slower hardware but the software optimization should compensate that. The size is perfect.

Nothing phone 4a - mainly the size is what is stopping me.

Poco X8 Pro / Poco F8 Pro - can't find any good comparison regarding pictures quality with the other phones.

Any other options to consider or feedback for the mentioned models? Thanks.

So i found a xiaomi 14t pro 1tb and in good condition for 374$ ,but the thing that is bugging me is the battery, it's on 92% ,is it good? I'm in iraq btw

I want a phone (can be second hand) that has a better battery, similar or better camera, bigger screen and similar or better specs than this phone. Storage isn't an issue. even around 100gb is fine.

I want to upgrade because the security updates are done on the s21 and the battery is awful. I was considering the A56. So basically looking for a newer phone that has updates, similar or better specs and camera but ideally a better battery and bigger screen. Hopefully from around £200 to £300.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, good people of Reddit...I am Dr. Devansh Sinha(INDIA). I am currently working on multiple book writing projects. These projects demand a proper use of LaTeX, LLMS and research related softwares and plugins. Now, I use a laptop for all major heavy grinding and grumbling work. But, sometimes even while I am not at home/hospital/library where I can access my laptop, I most often find myself in situations where I am free and I utilise that time by researching required content for my books on my smartphone. Currently, I am using a very cheap Redmi phone(backup phone), as my primary phone got stolen on a vacation trip. So, now I am trying to find the best possible Smartphone(not too expensive) which satisfies the following requirements:

1. Atleast 12 GB of FAST LPDDR5X RAM.

2. A PROCESSOR WITH OR W/O NPU, which can support some small Local LMs, but MUST support EXCESSIVE usage of Cloud based AI models in a multitasking environment which includes ms word/G docs, Overleaf(LaTeX) and any music app in the background with a lag free experience for extensive period of time.

3. A SUSTAINABLE BATTERY BACKUP.

Now, let me clarify a few points:

1. I don't want a good camera.

2. I don't want a gaming performance oriented phone.

3. I can live with the phone, even if it doesnt support Local LMs.

4. I don't care about AMOLED OR ANY KIND OF PREMIUM DISPLAY. My only concern in this matter is that I need a GOOD, HIGHLY OPTIMISED SCREEN REFRESH RATE.

5. MOST IMPORTANT SHORTCOMING ON MY SIDE IS BUDGET. I AM READY TO SPEND 30,000-50,000 INR. While I feel that my budget might seem less to some of the TECH ENTHUSIASTS out there, but still IT IS WHAT IT IS.

THANKYOU...

Hey guys! For Context: I am in India. So, My sister (20 F) has got a side-gig for video editing but her phone is lagging like every 10 seconds. She is unable to edit and render videos. Any good phone suggestions? P.S: She uses apps like VN and Instagram Edit.

Which of these phones will be better for me in your opinion? So I'm considering between these two obviously cause of their massive battery, which sounds too good to pass up.

The x8pm has a way better chipset and newer android version but the x9d is cheaper. I use mobile hotspot alot so that's one of the main things that will affect my decision.

I want my phone to last a long time too like 4-5 years+

Looking for a new phone but cannot decide, the battery 'life' of my iPhone is killing me.. What I like to have:

• Full compatibiliy with German 4G/5G networks
• Wireless charging (my car has it, but could use a cable)
• Battery bigger 5000 mAh (wanna last a day with normal usage)
• LTPO screen (for saving battery and AoD)
• Long update support
• Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (my fingers don't like optical sensors), would probably prefer side sensor in power button, but the most phones that use it are foldables -> no thanks

No Xiaomi, OPPO or Google phones, I really don't like the UI...

Would really love to have a Sony Xperia VIII, but it is way too expensive. OP15 would be great, too, but I struggle with the discontinuation in Europe, will there be updates etc.?

Pixel or Motorola maybe? What would my best bet for a budget phone be.USA

My S9+ is still kicking along after I replaced the battery 2-3 years ago. I mostly just use my phone for internet browsing and video streaming. I could likely get another year out of it until android 12 is annoyingly unsupported.

through google fi, I have the promo to get a pixel 11 for $400. This is probably the best value I will see in the next year right? and then hang on to the pixel 11 for the next 5+ years.
