Phone recommendations for smooth and low budget ones

Hey, I'm looking for a phone, preferably a samsung that's low budget.

I'd like it to run smoothly, won't overheat and doesn't break after first fall.

Also I would've liked to be able to play games such as Mobile Legends Bang Bang and Clash Royale on it!

Any recommendations is appreciated.

Thoughts on upgrading phones?

I’m interested in getting a new phone but I dont know what to get. I have an iPhone 14 pro that I have had for years, and I’m really uninterested in the built in AI features on newer iPhones but I dont know if I should get a different phone brand. Any recommendations are helpful😅

Which phone should I get?

Let's pretend price is not an issue. Which phone is the best in the the market right now? I really cannot chose. I used to have Samsung and I like the options currently available. I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I'm the type to buy one phone and use it until it craps out. If you have any of these phones I would love to know your pros and cons.

  • iPhone 17 Pro MAX
  • iPhone17
  • Galaxy Z Flip8
  • Galazy Z Fold8
  • Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra

Best Used Phone Marketplace?

Located in US

As the title states - just paid off all our iphones and I’m not looking to carrier finance for a while.

Sick of my iPhone 17 pro. I hate the keyboard and I literally don’t use any pro features. I use my phone to text, call, watch youtube, browse the web, and document notes. Don’t take photos.

Looking at selling my iPhone 17 pro and picking up an iPhone Air or Google pixel 9/10

I’ve only used Facebook marketplace in the past, but it’s gotten so bad IMHO and everyone’s trying to “come up” on selling phones and it’s hard to trust people these days…

Where does one go for good, fair prices on used/refurbished phones without dealing with shady Facebook ppl?

Has anyone else noticed we seem to have way fewer phone choices in Australia now?

maybe its just me but shopping for a new phone in Australia feels way more limited than it used to...
once you move past Samsung, Apple and Google, it feels like a lot of phones you see people recommending online either arent officially available here, are harder to find or just dont make as much sense once you see the Australian pricing

and its kinda annoying because there are so many interesting phones being launched globally rn

i dont really want to import something either because then theres warranty, network compatibility and support to think about

has the Australian phone market actually gotten smaller or am i just noticing it more now that im looking to upgrade?

also curious what everyone here is using. did you just pick from whats easily available locally or did anyone actually import a phone because they couldnt find what they wanted here?

Dont know what to buy (17 Pro vs S26 Ultra vs 18 Pro)

Hi guys,

I'm an average phone user, i scroll facebook a bit, take some family pictures and text with my wife.

Casually i also watch netflix or twitch but that is about it.

At this moment i have an Iphone 14 Pro, but the back and my screen is totally destroyed, my battery is at 81% and when i'm gone from home for work i mostly end up about 20% at max that is left. When i'm at home and i scroll i have to plug it in multiple times a day... So i want all that crap to be over.

In my house, my wife has an iphone, and my kids both have samsung. So we don't really lean to one eco system of brands. And for brandwise apps we only use "notes" from iphone to realtime edit shoppingcart lists etc. And for texting we use whatsapp and instagram.

I just want the phone to last me through the day, even with some heavy use (lots of scrolling or watching series).

I have 3 options

Samsung S26 Ultra for 999€

Iphone 17 Pro for 1219€

Wait for Iphone 18 Pro (which probably will be around 1400€ or something.

What do you guys recommend?

Is anyone else using two or more smartphones—a daily driver and a backup?

I think a lot of people have two smartphones: a main phone and a backup. Usually, the second phone has lower specs. What about you?

S26+ or Pixel 11 pro?

I can get the Pixel 11 Pro at around € 700 (I'd have to trade-in my pixel 7) or the S26+ for about €600 and they would also give me a Tab S10FE for free.

What should I do?

I currently have a Pixel 7 that I love.

I don't really know what to do.

i don’t know what to choose

I have an iphone 15 right now. Before that i was a lifelong Samsung user (3 Samsung phones).

My mom has the samsung s24 ultra.
I want a new phone. I could get my moms phone but imo its too big.
I like smaller phones so i’m stuck between 2 phones.
- iphone se 3rd gen
- iphone 13 mini

I also thought about getting the iphone XS.

I don’t really know what to do.
As i said, i want smaller more compact phones, that fit easily in my hand and pocket. A phone which would help me to reduce screen time etc.

But then i also think about the s24 ultra and its camera and overall abilities.

I’ve read some comments here on reddit but i still can’t make a decision. Pls help.

I hate Samsung fanboys and Samsung

They are worse than all smartphone fans

They glaze their brand

They have a hatred for Apple for no reason.

They have an inferiority complex. When you talk about iPhone

They does not accept criticism

They attack you personally the second you point out a bug in One UI

Samsung is one of the worst phone companies of the last decade

No update camera sensor since the s22-s23u

They sell S22 slop and s23u+ (s22-s26 Is it the same phone Practically ). And the worst part is they sell you the devices at a higher price without any real improvement.

The S26 Ultra is one of the worst Android flagship phones of 2026. Behind all other Android phones of 2026

I'm not talking about their budget phone/midrange phone range; it's one of the worst ranges of budget and midrange phone And the Exynos chips that Samsung puts in their flagship phones in Europe While all the others are running on Snapdragon chips.

But Samsung fanboys will swear to you straight in the eye that Samsung is the best brand in the world.

Want to update my S22... what phone has a good camera these days?

Honestly tried Samsung 26 today and the differences were kinda small, but maybe that's because I tried at the store for a one minute.

What this year's/last year's phone are making best photos?

Which Android muscle-memory habit still catches you out on iPhone?

I want to know what new users feedback is when switching from Android to iPhone? Like when I first switched to iPhone it took me time to slide back (The Back button) from specific APP... I was so used to swiping back on Android that switching to iPhone kept catching me out especially since navigation can work differently depending on the APP... What was yours?

is switching to samsung worth it?

My old iphone 12pro has basically stopped working so I am currently looking for a new phone, however I am unsure if i want to still keep looking at the new iphones as their price is very high or switch to samsung? as an university student i would be able to also have some discounts? (also in this case is the ultra 26 better or fold8 ultra?)
I mainly use it to take photo and chat nothing more (though i have an ipad for uni)

Your Favourite Smartphone brand and Best Smartphone you ever owned.

as title indicates.

My favourite brand is = Sony and Iphone.

for sony , i had M2 after my bro not using anymore. Overall Phone was great for it's decent specs. (despite it feel chunky to hold without a case) Battery Life Was better than any smartphone i owned. ( Previously had Ericsson X8 and i just lost it). for iphone , i had Ipad , iphone 5s , and 6 before phone was great , battery was ok ( since it has smaller battery on 5s and 6). and iphone 6 and sony m2 is my last phone .

What about you guys?

How many of you guys actually put your phone face down?

Since the release of Nothing phones, and now Pixel phone adding a notification light at the back of the phone I'm wondering how many people really do put their phones with the screen side down. For me, I've never put my phone screen side down. Maybe because I'm afraid of scratching the applied screen protector. But I'm really curious about this. Please leave your vote 🫠

Huawei has just unveiled the future of the mobile format.

It’s not foldable, which I think is a smart move (fewer screen issues in the long run). It’s the same width as the new Fold 8 (very comfortable to hold) and compact. This form factor has really caught my attention.
