My mom uses a iphone 11 and the screen is has major discoloration and she needs an upgrade, she doesn't need an iphone , a phone under 30k is what I have been researching, samsung has a pretty good transition thing from iphone to Android, rest like motorola i have heard that it blasts and other things about other phones etc. , so suggest me a good phone that will atleast work for 3 years without lag and has a decent camera
I am moving to a prepaid carrier and the eSIM option appeals because you can be running in minutes instead of waiting on the post. Then I read that some carriers only offer eSIM on one of their networks, and that moving later means doing the whole thing again. My handset takes either. Which one has given people fewer headaches over a year of actually living with it?
1T storage
And easy to use
Look slick and cute like an iPhone
System like iPhone
But price not iPhone $900max
I know every country has own location code for numbers. And I know it's not the same for China and Russia. But...
I started to get SMS to my phone with verification codes for rednote few days ago. Half hour ago I get SMS with code from Union Pay, and there was "you are activating Tour Balance". As I know, rednote is Chinese social network and UnionPay also Chinese payment system.
So....someone do it by mistake? Or there is some bug with numbers? Or new kind of scamming?.. Should I do something?
Sorry for mistakes, english is not my native language.

If your priority is the camera, you could consider buying a DSLR or another good camera instead. And instead of spending a huge amount on an expensive phone, you could get a laptop and start learning coding, programming, video editing, or other useful skills.
If your priority is gaming, you could also get a good gaming laptop. You can play PC games and, depending on the setup, enjoy mobile games too. A laptop can also be useful for studying, programming, editing, and many other things.
Of course, I'm not saying expensive smartphones are completely useless. They can have excellent cameras, powerful processors, beautiful displays, better build quality, long software support, and many other features.
But if you're buying an expensive smartphone just to do normal everyday tasks—calling, messaging, watching YouTube, using social media, browsing the internet, etc.—then you probably don't need such an expensive device. A good low-cost or mid-range smartphone can handle those things perfectly well.
If you're running a business and need strong security, reliability, or specific features, then choosing something like a Samsung or iPhone can make sense. That's completely your choice.
But if you're an average user buying an expensive phone mainly to show it off to your friends, I personally don't think that's a good use of your money. Instead, you could invest in something useful—like a laptop, education, hobbies, sports equipment, or learning a new skill.
I understand that expensive smartphones are small, portable, powerful, and convenient. I'm not saying they're bad. I'm simply saying that if a mid-range phone already does everything you need, why spend so much more?
Conclusion
Would you personally choose to purchase an expensive smartphone, or would you rather spend that money on something else?
Important note: Please don't take this as hate toward any particular phone brand or its users. I'm just sharing my thoughts and trying to understand different opinions. Everyone has different priorities and different reasons for buying things. 😊
hi all, my cousin has a galaxy s21 ultra and it's completely broken. (the main issue she's having is the sim card disconnecting, I have the same phone and it also has that issue so I'm wondering if maybe it's a problem with this specific model?) we're trying to find her a new one and she wants an upgrade but it's hard to find a budget one these days. the most important thing to her is a good camera (same quality as s21 ultra if not better) and battery life, that'll operate pretty quickly for basic things (she doesnt really use it for anything other than texting and social media). also if it doesnt have those dumb ai features that'd be great but I know they're hard to avoid nowadays. preferably samsung but if any other androids meet those specifications feel free to throw them out there. price range is definitely under $500 but preferably cheaper (around $300). it can be refurbished as long as it works lol. thanks :)
I'm looking to get a Dumbphone and use it as my primary device and sims in it. Use pixels only for Camera and vlogging.
Which one should I go for?
I live in India, I've contacted multiple sellers in Alibaba and found one Qin f25 is costing around 195$ and shipping Extra.
I've approached another seller Lynorcom for 150$ and Shipping additional. It gives Helio G81 with 6gig RAm and 128 Gig Rom with Android 14.
I need A few Android apps like move in sync, UPI payments and NFC which are the basic stuff which I'll be using on a daily basis.
So getting the Lynorcom one makes sense for me Any suggestions?
I'm gonna buy a phone for the first time. I want android with around 6.3 inch diagonal or close. Also storage nd battery life should be good. I don't know much about smartphones so please help🙏🏻
Hi, I’m considering buying a new Motorola edge 2025 with 128gb storage for $150 from a local seller. I have an iPhone 11 right now with 64 GB and I’m looking for more storage. I plan to still use the iPhone for filming social media (I run fundraising campaigns) but I want to make sure that the phone I get has a comparable camera to the iPhone 11 for daily photos and videos (not professional stuff). I also want to make sure the Motorola will last a while, as I try to keep my phones for 5ish years at least (I’ve had the iPhone 11 for 6 years).
Any thoughts on this? Is it a good deal/investment? Thanks in advance!
Hey, I'm going to college this year..and I may start content creation, editing etc..I MAY.
I'm exchanging my old phone, and then the final price of pixel 9a (256GB) is 35k and iPhone 15 (256GB) is 43-45k.
Don't say iphone just because I mentioned content creation. WAIT. ✋🏻
So what should I buy? My parents have told me I can buy any that's my choice. But Idk I think I'll feel guilty if I buy iphone. They are alr paying so much college fees. But at the same time I can't compromise w a good phone because yk I think I'm good at editing and all and I may do better. That can also open doors for me right. As a side income Obv.
So basically I want someone who can convince me that buying an iphone will be worth it.. or should I simply buy a pixel. After all it has a better camera than most of the androids and I can still start content creation and editing w that right?
Tbh I am okay w both of them because I think both the phones are capable more or less and it'll depend on me how I use it.
I’m considering the OnePlus 15 512GB because I want a balanced phone with strong performance/gaming and a good camera.
A few concerns:
Any throttling or heating during gaming?
How’s the camera overall?
With the recent OnePlus shutdown/restructuring news, is it safe to buy in India regarding updates, warranty, and service?
The 512GB version was around ₹86K earlier but is now ₹96K. Should I wait for a sale like BBD/Amazon Festival, or buy now?
At this price, is there a better alternative?
Guys if I have 15-20k budget then what should I look for? Refurbished from cashify or new?
Phone recommendation for pokemon go. Mainly I would like midrange phone because I have iphone 16 pro and I dont want to burn it with pokemon go
Thank you!!
My husband and I will be looking to upgrade our phones. His is far more outdated than mine, but he is more into androids. I’m currently with iPhone but may change brands. What are some budget friendly but solid brands? I don’t mind spending a little but not looking to sell an arm and a leg for one lol.
Hey y’all! I need to get a new phone ASAP, and I’ve asked a few people for recommendations. A couple of people have suggested the iPhone 14, and I’m definitely considering it!
I currently have an Android and it has been acting uo soooo badly i need to change it asap!!. I have always used Android phones, but I’m not opposed to trying something new. The things that are most important to me are a highly quality camera , lots of storage, long lasting batter and easy editing features I’m planning to use this phone a lot for creating content, so I want something that can keep up with taking photos, recording videos, and editing.
If you have an iPhone 14 (or another phone you think would be a better fit), I’d love to hear your thoughts and recommendations!
Any phone model is welcome so that I can have options to choose
it wont charge no matter what i tried abt 3-4 different chargers none of them did anything except one of them charged it fro abt a second and then stopped again i rly need to fix it tho.
Here is the thing I own a macbook and I have a google pixel 6a which I have been using for the past 4 years ..Now I am planning to buy a new phone and I have heard a lot about the apple ecosystem.I was not a big fan of Iphone so I have not looked much into that side of the phone category.Keep in mind I am not much of a phone guy so I dont want to spend too much on phones and that is why I looked up Iphone 15 which is roughly available for 50 something.....So what do you guys suggest do I need to buy an Iphone just for the ecosystem if I am not a phone guy and If i am planning to buy one is Iphone 15 enough or is it outdated for 2026
