S25+ (₹57k) vs S26 vs iPhone 17 vs Oppo Find X9 at same price (₹58K) – need advice D
# Hey ppl,
I’m stuck deciding between the Samsung S25+, S26, iPhone 17 and Oppo FInd x9 — I’m getting for around ₹70K, so price isn’t really a factor.
A bit about me:
\- I’ve used androids in the past (Samsung A53, Oneplus 11r)
\- Currently daily driving a iPhone 12
\- I’m not a mobile gamer
\- I usually keep my phones for a long time (3–5 years)
What I care about:
\- Smooth daily performance over time (no lag after 1–2 years)
\- Good battery life
\- Reliable camera performance (after 2 years)
\- Good photos with Good video quality(used to shoot edit videos).
\- Long-term reliability
I’m confused because:
\- Android gives flexibility, but I don’t want bugs/slowdowns like Oxygen OS
\- iPhone is reliable, but feels restrictive sometimes
From what I’ve seen:
\- S25+, S26 has more RAM (12GB) and bigger battery
\- iPhone 17 seems more optimized and stable long-term.
\-Camera of Oppo has better camera than others but gets degraded after updates and video quality is bad
Given I plan to use the phone for many years,
which one would you pick and why?
Would really appreciate real-world experiences 🙌
