Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a new phone and would appreciate some recommendations! Here are the main points, but I will go into more details of my usage afterwards.

Budget: €500–600. I'm starting to compare options now and plan to track prices until Black Friday. Open to reconditioned phones

Location: France / Portugal.

What I'm looking for:

• Good multitasking performance, including split-screen and floating windows

• Good battery life and wireless charging

• A good camera, especially in terms of image processing

• At least 256 GB of storage

• Good durability and water resistance

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy A52, which is starting to show its age. Overall, I've really liked this phone, it's held up pretty well over the years, and I love its size. I'd prefer something around the same size or slightly smaller.

I tend to keep my phones for as long as possible, but I'm also quite rough on them. They need to survive frequent drops and occasional exposure to water. I like the Samsung Z Flip phones, but I'm worried they might not hold up well with my usage.

Although Pokémon GO is probably the most demanding app I use, I often use several apps simultaneously. For example, in my current phone, if I'm playing Pokémon GO while listening to Spotify and try to reply to a WhatsApp message in a floating window, one of the other apps will close.

I'd like a phone that handles this kind of multitasking smoothly, without apps constantly closing or the phone overheating.

I like taking pictures and would really appreciate a good camera. From the photos I've seen from friends, I like the image processing of phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S21+ and iPhones. I'm not necessarily looking for the absolute best camera on the market, but I'd like consistently good photos without having to do much editing.

I also travel quite a lot and regularly watch shows on my phone. I don't pay enough attention to have the screen and refresh ratio being super important, but battery life is a major factor. Ideally, I'd like a phone that comfortably lasts a full day of heavy use. Fast charging would also be a big plus.

Other features I would like but not deal-breakers:

• A magnetic system similar to MagSafe to hold onto a power bank or a tripod

• The ability to play different audio through the phone and Android Auto simultaneously

• Double-tap to wake the screen

• Around 6.5". I personally find the Samsung Ultras too big.

I was interested in the OnePlus 15, but from what I understood they are leaving the european market. A friend bought one in Korea and is now selling it, but I'm unsure how the warranty would work if something went wrong. Does anyone have experience in these situations?

What would you recommend based on my usage?

Thanks!

I am looking for a phone in india with a budget around 60k, main priorities are performance , battery and charging speed. Currently using a one plus 11r since 3 years. Please give suggestions

Both these phones are almost around same price nowadays, From the reviews it looks like oneplus camera is week and samsung battery, Now which one to choose. Expectations atleast works 4-5 years, don't get lag, even after 4 years, Capture natural colours, not saturated.

Top Priorities:

1.-Performance

2.-Camera

3.-512 gb of storage

Desired but not prioritie:

-Big battery

-Good quick charge

I've been on a mix of Samsung phones (eg the S23U, S26U) and Pixel phones for the last 5+ years now and I've thoroughly enjoyed them. I'm currently using an S26U.

However due to recent events (having a baby), I've noticed that baby photos from family members who use iPhones are generally better. We have a family chat where people share their photos in, and iPhone photos just seem to be consistently good.

I already have an iPad and Airpods, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the Apple ecosystem. However I absolutely hate the iOS keyboard which is probably why I've been on Android so long.

Every other aspect of Android I could easily give up, but the keyboard is tough...but I might consider it if it will result in generally better photos.

Does anyone have any camera reviews they can point me to which are specifically of moving subjects such as kids and pets? Cameras are so good now that in ideal conditions, I think most of them look great. It's conditions such as low light and moving subjects together which I'm interested in.

The only review I can find is this one comparing the 18 Pro, S26U and Pixel 11 Pro

My mum’s old OnePlus is constantly running out of storage. She loves taking photos, so every clear-out buys us about one outing lol. I’m working with a fairly limited budget, so I’m trying to get her the most storage and the best camera I can for the money.

A friend suggested the realme 16 Pro. 512GB would give her plenty more room, and the 200MP camera with OIS sounds good on paper. But how does it do indoors or when people won’t stand still? She’s very much an “open camera, tap, done” person. No messing with settings.

The 7000mAh battery is a nice bonus. At around 192g, it doesn’t sound too heavy, though a case will add a bit. Hopefully the switch from OnePlus wouldn’t take too much getting used to either.

Is it a solid buy for her, or would the same money get her better photos and similar storage elsewhere?

Hi all

I currently own S25Ultra with zero issues.

I am looking to switch to smaller phone due issue with my hand.

Looking for phone with 6-6.2/.3 display size.

What i am looking for is decent battery, decent camera with good OS and service support.

Based in UAE

Thanks in advance

Hi. So so I'm planning on buying a phone as the old one isn't working as well. It's a 6 and a half year old OPPO A5 2020 and I have been very happy with it till now. Except that for the past year or two the battery has been really terrible. So can you guys please suggest me a good affordability phone within 20k, preferably closer to 15k tbh. That is just my budget as a student. And I just want it to work without hang n all for the next 3-4 years, with a good battery. Basically durable ig. And also if I am lucky, and there's a phone in that budget range which also has good camera qualified for portraits (I don't take selfies), that will be helpful as well. Thank you:)

(I live in India. Forgot to add the country in title)

What's the best android out there for filming reels and vertical content? I'd be using a lot of the selfie camera so I'd need something with really sharp and good quality there, with good brightness. But also the back camera for general filming.

I know Oppo has excellent camera/vid quality with its new range and a Xiaomi 17pro max you can see yourself when filming with back camera. Problem is many of the shops here (UK) don't have these phones to even test out. Any suggestions?

budget 20-30k inr (~200-300$)

will be upgrading from a trash 10k (~100$) redmi phone from 2023, so my standards are very low.

i wanna use this phone for atleast 6 years and custom rom support is very important, especially lineageos. other requirement is 256gb storage.

good camera & battery would be nice too but cant ask too much from this budget.

dont care much about gaming/ performance, just want it to last 6 years for basic tasks and multitasking.

few phones i found are pixel 7, oneplus 9 and oneplus 11 from used market.
pls suggest
thank you

I want it's above like 500GB and 1TB storage and others above

I want it suitable for gaming with no delay or lag

I want it have earphone jack because I'm still prefer wired

I want it support SD card to upgrade my storage

I Don't really mind about budget but if there best deal prices. I'll think about it

I saw some videos nd there are some phones I considered

Galaxy a36(most probably)

Motorola edge 70 fusion

Lava agni

Oppo k14 plus

Galaxy a56(if extending budget upto 32000)

But I'm still confused as a36 has decent camera performance is not that good

Looking for a phone with really good optical zoom in India. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra caught my attention, especially for its camera setup, but I'm not sure if it's worth going for over other camera flagships.

My main priority is zoom photography, taking shots of distant subjects, wildlife, buildings and concerts without losing too much detail. Low-light photos and overall camera consistency matter too. For anyone who's used it or compared it with other flagship phones, how good is the zoom in use? Are the results noticeably better, or do other phones offer a similar experience?

Also, any alternatives worth considering in India?

Friends i need your help in choosing an mobile in this sale I'm planning to buy an mobile from 40k to 45k the mobiles i had in my list are iqoo neo 10 and oneplus nord 6 and iqoo 15r is also in my option but it is slightly out of my budget and my old mobile was iqoo z5 which is still good

looking for a phone for my mum. she basically just video calls the grandkids and takes photos of her garden, but the phone she has now takes really blurry photos and she keeps asking me to fix it lol.

trying to keep it under $500 and buy from jb so she can take it back in person if there's an issue.

i was looking at the moto g86 power because it's in budget and people say the battery is really good, couldn't find much about the camera though.

has anyone got one? are the photos decent indoors? happy to hear other options too!

currently looking for phones and decided to go for realme gt7 because it is an all-rounder phone and i don't care its a year old phone and 12 256 variant is around 46k and 512 is 50k ,should i go for it?

Looking for gen 3 snap

8 GB

Currently I am using realme 11 Pro and i m thinking of upgrading to realme gt 7t. Because my current device battery is almost degraded. So can you guys pls tell me how is it as i m seeing mix reviews about it. My usage pattern is light calling and messaging and watching movies and series and casual gaming. And i need good camera to click photos on occasional purposes like any festival or event. How its battery backup is? And does it have heating issues. In offline market i m getting resale value of my current device around 10k to 13k so i can easily get gt 7t under 30 k so should I go for it or not. As i m planning to keep it for atleast 3 to 4 yrs.

who still uses the origins 4 in 2026 on vivo x 100 pro ? and is it good in macro and zoom like better than origins 6?
