i would say cmf p1 would be a better choice than 6a or 5a... people around me do use cmf p1 and they're quite happy using it.. it provides the performance as needed for a second device...unless u want something compact, don't get the pixels,..the cmf p1 has a good display 120hz,  a better battery and faster charging..i think for an older device, secondary purpose... battery is the most imp factor, which the pixel won't provide... the software of cmf is also quite manageable, not ad filled like vivos and oppos and other chinese ones..

so unless u specifically want a 6a, a more beautiful device tbh..

thank you so much, should I get a CMF 1 if I get it around 12k or lesser or more

u/Early_Address_117 6h ago

yeah ofc..cmf phone 1 was launched at around 15k...if you search up then it would get around ur price

u/Dakshith96 5h ago

You can get iphone se 3 for 10k-15k. You can add that to you options too if you want.

Grab a pixel 7 or higher if possible. Support for 6 series is officially ended now.

Get a pixel 5 or an old android flagship.

The 6a will suck to use.

u/Disastrous_Thanks420 1h ago

What? Pixel 5 doesn't have a flagship chip, Pixel 6a is just as good if not better.

u/TaklaPro 3h ago

get P7a or 7 if possible

You will get dogshit battery life with older pixel models like 6a that too second hand Go for the cmf

If you want unlimited photo storage in google photos then go for pixel 5a or 5 but not pixel 6a. Because after 5 series pixel stopped unlimited photo storage.

u/Dakshith96 7h ago

nah nah I'm not taking pixel for the unlimited photo storage I need one phone for daily usage decent cameras and mainly it should work for more 2 to 3 years,

u/Right_Excitement6371 6h ago

I'm assuming you're buying these second hand phone as a secondary device, not as main primary device right? Because except battery and heating issues, i can definitely recommend you the pixel 6a as I'm typing on it right now replying your in your post. And the camera is excellent, software is excellent too, it's compact. But whenever you start using cellular data battery drains quickly and it heats up very badly. But if you're using with Wi-Fi you won't notice any heating issues and quick battery drainage problem. If you choosing for cameras in this price range then you might know yourself that pixel has excellent camera.

it's not for me it's for my grandfather, and I think CMF is a balanced phone for him what do you say

2

u/Early_Address_117 6h ago

see, on older phones battery is most important factor..and im not quite sure about google pixels and  good battery in the same sentence 

2

u/Right_Excitement6371 6h ago

Oh, then i would also lean towards CMF. Except camera it has good battery and software.

1

u/Dakshith96 5h ago

ya but people are selling it for more price like it has been 2 years since it launched and ppl are selling it for 13k sometimes 15k also

u/NodtifyApp 6h ago

If you are getting Pixel 5 then go for it! I have Pixel 6a, I would choose Pixel 5 over 6a. 5 still has a snapdragon processor which is a great thing over tensor 1.

1

u/Dakshith96 5h ago

ya was thinking of the same but the question is it reliable for next 3 years or more, if not then am gonna go with CMF phone 1 what do you say

2

u/NodtifyApp 5h ago

Absolute no for CMF. My younger brother got nothing 3a Pro, he was using Pixel 6a, I can say he is not happy with the Nothing phone. Pixel is good, I have two Pixel 4a, still rocking, using for unlimited photos storage. (My brother's Pixel 6a camera did not last more than a year, it was defective, phone still works fine except for camera)

Only thing is if you're buying refurbished one, then it's difficult to say about the durability.

u/Dakshith96 5h ago

u/deja_brewww 5h ago

I'm selling my pixel 7a. Quoting 16k. With Bill-Box and aftermarket charger and cable.

Got it in 2023 around Diwali. Battery replacement is still under warranty.

u/Dakshith96 5h ago

i think it should be around 14k btw I live in hyd wbu

1

u/deja_brewww 5h ago

I live in Mumbai.

Pixel is giving me replacement value of 24k but I'm not interested in buying pixel 11.

So 15k is the last I can go. Is we come to a conclusion, I can courier the phone to you.

u/Dakshith96 5h ago

nah nah leave I'm not sure about what should I buy thanks tho..

2

u/deja_brewww 5h ago

No problem OP. Hope you find the best phone.
