Phone Recomendation
I’m planning to buy a new smartphone in the 750–800€ range (Germany, online or in-store availability). I’m only considering Android (no iPhone).
My main priorities are:
Battery life: must comfortably last a full day under normal mixed usage, ideally with headroom for degradation over 4–5 years
Software stability: polished UI, minimal bugs, no aggressive gimmicks or inconsistent updates
Long-term usability: I want to use the phone for at least ~5 years, so strong update policy (OS + security) is important
Performance: solid mid-to-high-end chipset, smooth system performance; I’m not a heavy gamer but I don’t want lag or throttling issues
Overall reliability: I prefer “boring but consistent” over experimental features
So far I’m generally looking at upper-midrange to flagship “discount” devices rather than true budget phones, since longevity is the main goal.
