r/smartphone

Hello, I'm looking for a new phone with a budget of around 500 USD. I want the phone to have NFC, solid camera and battery life, good durability, as well as a satisfying UI. Thanks in advance!

I have a iPhone at the moment a 17 pro but I’m looking into dual wielding a separate phone for photos and just a backup that i own entirely cause my parents pay for the service on my 17 i want a backup/burner kinda I have cash around 1k looking for a phone with better camera zoom I don’t care what kind cause nothing sensitive is going on the spare phone I would hope I could get it a phone number and pay for those service things at like Walmart

Any questions ask😊
Just need a phone separate

Hi everyone! I’m currently on an iPhone 13, and am looking to ask for a new phone this christmas. I’m by no means locked to the Apple ecosystem, so I’m looking mostly at android phones. Right now I’m leaning toward the s24+ as a good option. I know the OnePlus 13 is arguably better, but it’s not in stock rn and is also ~$200 more. Any recommendations or help is appreciated!

Hi there! I'm looking for a good camera phone which makes as less post processing as possible.

My requirements:

Flat screen

All day batterry life

Camera- natural looking pics with many details, no overprocessing

UI- clean UI which not uses all the RAM to process android skin

Good screen, at least 120hz and 1080resoltunion and at least 480 pwm dimming

Size - 6,3 - 6,7 inch screen or bigger if camera is really good

I was considering vivo x300 pro/ ultra but don't know what ti expect since I haven't keep that brand's phone in my hands.

Oppo find x9 ultra or pro I saw a lot of good photos but not sure about the processing

Sony Xperia 1 VIII I loved everything about the camera but the phone itself seems to have so many compromises and the price is very high, difficult to find a case etc.

Pixel phones: but I read that they add AI processing drastically

I like street photography and take pictures of my cat and random moments😂 Hi there! I'm looking for a good camera phone which makes as less post processing as possible.

So I want a mobile around 40k mostly for gaming. Open to other options as well. Need your suggestions.

Hi there!

I have a few questions about the iPhone 15 Pro Max regarding everyday use, battery life, and a little bit of gaming. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I do enjoy playing games occasionally, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has actually played games on this phone.

Have you experienced any issues with it, especially things like overheating, battery life, performance, or any other problems after using it for a long time? Do you still recommend the iPhone 15 Pro Max today, or would you suggest a different iPhone instead?

I'm not planning to buy the phone right now—I probably won't purchase it until 2027—but I want to make my decision early and gather as many real user experiences as possible.

Thank you in advance for your advice and experiences!

I have been using a redmi smartphone worth ₹15k for the last 6 years. I am willing to switch to a flagship device now. I am really very confused on which of these two shall I buy. There are some great features that one has and the other does not. I do not wanna buy one and regret later. Please help me to choose one of them wisely for a good 5 years of usage atleast.

What is better to choose - iphone 16 or xiaomi 17t?

At the moment, I have huawei nova 5t

Thank you for answers!!!!!

I know I want either a nothing phone, or a xiaomi, but I'm also seeing oppo as a valid option as well?

I'm really not even sure I want a smart phone at all at this point, especially with the ai bullshit going on, but my 15 plus is acting janky and I'm just sick of apples shit in general. Can yall make some suggestions? I just want to narrow down the field for research.

Criteria
- under $1,000, preferably closer to $700 but I'll go as high as $850 before I get squirmy about it
- something I won't have to replace for at least five years, preferably longer.
- I'd prefer no AI at all, but I realize that's unrealistic if I want a phone I won't have to replace for a while, so something where I can at least fully turn it off.
- I've read that you can run grapheneOS on any pixel-similar phone, so preferably something I can do that with-- please advise on this as well if you're knowledgeable:)
OR
- intuitive OS, something closer to iPhone than android. For some reason I struggle with android's OS even though I know people prefer it in terms of functionality. What can I say, the autism do be autisming.
- a good camera. I'm no photog by any means, but I do use my phone to film short form videos, and I take a lot of photos for my friends, so I need a camera at least as good at my 15 plus.
- the ability to find good cases for it. I drop my phone a lot bc I have bad special awareness, plus hello, I'm a girl, it's a purse phone.

Thank!!

Im going to college and need a new phone and I can’t decide between a s24 ultra which is bit cheaper then a iPhone 15 plus where I live, it’s an easy choice but I also have a MacBook for school which complicates things. Right now I have an iPhone but idk if I should switch to Samsung or stay on Apple since the s24 ultra is much better but all my stuff is on Apple

Please confused about a month... What I'm looking for longetivity with good battery and good performance camera not a problem but good software and security updates with no lag.... Am i expecting too much at this budget??? Kindly enlighten me budget 35k to 45k inr Indian rupee

I keep seeing carrier promos with rebates on iphones but every time I read the fine print there's a trade in requirement, a specific plan tier or a 24 month commitment attached that makes the actual saving pretty minimal
