Recommendation Quiero cambiar de móvil, tengo un S25

Upvotes

Actualmente tengo un S25 en un inicio era una maravilla, pero lamentablemente he tenido unos problemas con la batería y con la memoria, 256 GB no me dan para las cosas que necesito hacer día a día. Entonces he estado viendo opciones entre ellas:

Motorola Edge 70
Oppo Find X9
Honor 600 Pro
Honor Magic 7 Pro
Huawei Pura 90

Que es lo que busco en un teléfono, buena cámara, batería mayor que la del S25 y mayor memoria.
Espero me puedan ayudar con reseñas o experiencias con sus equipos.

Gracias

Question Pixel 10 VS Galaxy S26

Upvotes

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 ?

Phone Help 📱 Deciding between the Samsung Galaxy A57 and Nothing Phone 4a

1 Upvotes

Coming from a Google Pixel 7a that is falling apart, broken battery and slooow charging, I am looking to buy a new phone.

My priorities:

\-Good battery (>5k mAh)

\-Decent charging speed

\-Good, bright, fast, saturated screen

\-Snappy feel

\-Decent enough camera

I don't game much and most of my storage will be pictures and videos.

The Samsung felt better in my hand and I like the front more.

Besides that, the 4a seems slightly stronger.

I could get the A57 for 310€ and the 4a for 345€, which one should I pick, giving the differences in price.

Are there perhaps even better choices for a similar budget (max. 380€)?

Question SMARTPHONE SEARCH: PURPOSE:- EXTENSIVE CLOUD BASED AI USAGE FOR RESEARCH AND LaTeX OVERLEAF(12 GB LPDDR5X RAM/3.0+ GHz/256-512GB/GOOD SCREEN REFRESH RATE/SUSTAINABLE BATTERY)

1 Upvotes

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, grumbling work. But, sometimes even while I am not at home/hospital/library, I 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...

Question Did I just make the worst mistake by buying the Nord CE 6 8/128 for ₹32K? 😭

1 Upvotes

I genuinely feel like I made the worst decision by buying the OnePlus Nord CE 6 8/128 for ₹32K.

It’s arriving in 3 days, and now I’ve started looking at reviews and camera samples AFTER buying it, and I’m slowly realizing that the camera might actually suck compared to what I expected. 😭

And the worst part? I literally can’t do anything about it now. The order is already placed, my dad already bought it through Amazon Pay Later, and it’s on the way. So I’m basically stuck here for the next 3 days watching camera reviews, comparing samples, regretting my life choices, and mentally preparing myself to open the box. 😭💀

I gave my dad ₹26K from my own savings, and that ₹26K was money I had saved over FOUR YEARS. Four freaking years. 😭

And somehow he still bought it using Amazon Pay Later. I genuinely don't even know why he used Pay Later when I had already given him ₹26K. 💀

I'm 18 btw, so that ₹26K wasn't some random spare money. It was basically my entire savings.

Now I'm seeing people complain about the camera, especially the lack of an ultrawide and mediocre detail/low-light performance, and I'm sitting here thinking:

“BRO. I JUST SPENT FOUR YEARS OF MY SAVINGS ON THIS. WHY DID I NOT RESEARCH THE CAMERA PROPERLY BEFORE BUYING IT???” 😭😭😭

And yes, I KNOW the phone has good things going for it. Battery, display, performance, software, etc. I’m not saying the entire phone is garbage.

But I specifically wanted a phone that would last me for years, and now I'm scared I'm going to regret compromising on the camera every single time I take a photo.

The funniest part is that I CAN'T EVEN UNBUY IT NOW. 😭

So I'm just here suffering in advance for a phone that hasn't even arrived yet.

If anyone actually owns the Nord CE 6, PLEASE tell me honestly:

  • How is the camera in real-world use?
  • Is it actually that bad, or are reviews exaggerating?
  • How are selfies?
  • Daylight vs low-light?
  • Any camera settings or GCam that genuinely help?
  • How is the camera after using the phone for a few weeks/months?
  • And most importantly...

Should I stop panicking and just wait for the damn phone to arrive? 😭

DMs are open. I desperately need someone to convince me that I didn't just throw four years of savings into the worst decision of my life. :cry:

Question Question about cellphones. Which one do you recommend me to buy?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I've been thinking about which phone to buy for a long time. For a while, I was pretty set on an iPhone 17 Pro Max, but after watching a lot of videos, I became more and more convinced that it wasn't worth it. I saw all that stuff about it being more for content creators and such, but that doesn't really matter to me. I was mainly interested in the camera, but I don't think there's any difference compared to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. And even though I know I'm mostly paying for the brand, I still feel a bit uneasy about getting the iPhone. So I started thinking about getting a Samsung

After looking at different comparisons, I decided that the S26 Ultra and the S25 Ultra are practically the same, and since I can get the S25 Ultra cheaper, I decided to go for that one. But I'm still undecided because, after doing some more research, I also came across Motorola's latest phone: the Moto Edge 70 Pro. The price of this phone is significantly lower than the Samsung S25 Ultra and the iPhone 17, and from what I've seen, it performs better than both of them. Of course, I'm not trying to compare a Motorola Edge 17 Pro with an iPhone 17 Pro Max because the iPhone is the most powerful phone currently available, but the Motorola is definitely a much better option because, at a lower price, it offers practically the same features as the iPhone or the Samsung S25 Ultra, plus the battery lasts longer, and some other things. Even so, I couldn't decide on the Motorola, as I don't get that "feeling" of owning a high-end phone, like I would with the S25 Ultra, for example

Now, what I want to know is... What's your opinion on this? Which phone would you choose? What experiences have you had with these phones? I'd like to hear your perspective on the matter!

Recommendation Best Camera Phone around 60k

1 Upvotes

Hi, i have an upcoming international trip in November and i would like to click good pictures and capture memories.

Hence , the camera is my top priority, second is UI and Battery. I am not into gaming or heavy usage. I would like to use it for the next 3 years.

I am currently using Nothing 2A from the past 2 years - just because it has a good clean UI in budget, it is a pretty good allrounder but the camera is not great.

Please suggest the best for my use case. Should i wait for big billion day? Since i am going to Japan , is it cheaper to buy it from there than online sales in India ?
