I wrote iem but ducking auto correct 😭😭😭

My unit is on a oxygen os convert rom with updates running please suggest me a good gcam with better video than the original camera app and less over processing.

In daylight even the stock camera is great but any time else it falls apart very fast

If u have a oneplus 13 or s24 ultra for sale in multan dm me please.

Btw only non pta.

Also happy to buy a oneplus 12 non pta if u have one to sell

Im stuck between a S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 pro or realme gt 8 (Chinese) tho i ve been a samsung user for some time.

I have owned a realme 12+ for a year and liked the os.

My useage is mostly gaming and raw photography although i want do dabble a but in videographer but nothing serious and alll these phone have log.

Im being offered a used S24 Ultra for about 140k pkr and the iPhone 15 pro sim locked (88 bh) is about 135k pkr and the gt 8 is also 130k pkr.

Ive owned a S23 but sold that due to battery life i got it at 97 bh and 250 cycles and sold it 10 months later with 800 cycles 87bh.

I will not have a sim card in any of these phones cuz Pakistan has a very unfortunate PTA tax system and a sim on these phones is gonna cost a lot like 50k+. So i have a 2nd phone for sim

My use is a mix of photography and gaming (i shot raw so post processing is something im a lil lax on but should have decent video quality.

Also am open to other suggestions my budget is 130k

Ik the basics like battery health and screws and play in display check 3x dots and 3u tools is useless now.

​

But how do you

​

1: Catch if display is changed with a high end copy or changed back glass or camera lenses. Tbh even the original camera lenses look hella cheap to me coming from pixels and Samsung S series

​

2: This is gonna be my first iphone coming from my old s23

​

3: Avoid re water packed phone and 14 pro has no sim tray

​

4: What is the best way to get a decent battery experience?

​

And 14 pro is mostly boosted and what is the proper rate for a factory unlocked one in multan preferably 256gb.

The ones i ve seen worth getting are

1: Samsung s25

2: Samsung s25 fe

3: Oneplus ace 5 (used it at a shop and the camera was meh)

4 Oneplus 13t

If u have anymore options worth getting please state them below.

NOTE: I have seen realme neo 8 but realme has poor resale and not the best optimization. Nord 6/ turbo 6 is nice but a lil underpowered for the money.

My priority is

1: Raw photography (especially telephoto and tele macro)

2: Battery life

3:Decent ish video. (Shouldn't strutter too much have Decent eis and ok colour i should not be a downgrade on my old s23)

4: Thermals

At this price ik performance is a non issue, btw the importance or each thing is in descending order.

My use is mostly gaming to be honest and after playing on a s23 and a 15 base the heat out put at same setting was very different and gyro difference os noticeable able.

Plus i want to try smth new so which iphones are good sub 120k must have ok bh and 120hz

If u have a oneplus 12 non pta to sell please dm me

1: S25

2: oneplus 12

3: Oneplus ace 5 (used it in a shop hated the cameras)

4: S24

5: Iphone 13 pro

My use is gaming and camera i love 3x lenses and mostly shot raw and day time so camera post processing is not a deal breaker. Would love decent video as i want to do videography but can compromise.

S25 is nice as it has log video and sd 8 elite. Con is the small battery as i did put on a lot of battery cycles on my old S23 ldu i did 550 cycles on that phone in 6 months and that phone had 250 cycles and 97 bh when i got it.

Like the 12/256 and 16/256 variants

8/128

And looks in ok condition

91 bh

With the og charger

Im the buyer btw.

Wasee i have 100k saved up for a non pta phone but this look like a good deal.

My use is mostly gaming and photography.

I like all android UIs ive used

1: Moto g54

2: Realme 12+

3: Pixel 7 pro

4: Samsung S23

Of course one ui is preferred but i can be happy with all of these.

I especially love 3x telephoto lenses for the compression idc about zoom tbh or a 5x lens as they have bad mfd.

I don't like iphones and only good iphone in this range us 15 but lack of 120hz and shit battery life makes it a no go.
