I own a Sensation from march and I'm totally satisfied with it but when i would have to replace it I think I will buy a Google phone or another HTC, I LOVE SENSE.

I think I might stay 3g and get a padfone, it would be exactly what I need if it works as advertised

vivow? More like vivWOW

I'm deciding if I really need an SD card slot in my next phone or not. I'm leaning to yes- in which case I guess I'll go for the SIII or something.

if I decide no, I'll either snag one of the next nexus phones or the Xiaomi Mi2.

There is a new Huawei model and also one from the developer of MIUI, both of which are very good in specs and have been unofficially rated as being in the same class as Galaxy S3. We just have to wait and see. All things will be clear in the next 2-3 months, and then we have Windows phone 8. The battle is getting more interesting

I am really giving some strong consideration to the Xiaomi M2... If it has 4g instead of just 3g capability whiich it doesn't seem to right now... That price tag for those specs... Nice.

I'm currently very happy with my GS II running SuperNexus (4.1.1) and it's convinced me to go for a Nexus next time.

The Galaxy Nexus is really nice but ideally I'd like the S III camera and an RGB screen in its successor.

    Before you buy an used phone, check it with this app:

    See how many charging cycles it has.
    500+ and you know the battery is on way down.
    Any hint how I can obtain physical access to a device that I don't own yet in order to install this certainly great app for the suggested check?

    G53 is a low end phone - G42 is a better choice.
    Amoled, FHD, better SoC etc

    Xperia 10 III is as good as G42, with more RAM, but an older phone and cost more:

    Thanks. Won't work on my phone as it's for Android 14, but am looking for another app to check number of cycles.

    Its a bit older phone, but still nice.
    Bit smaller screen size, smaller battery, less RAM, but a better camera, OTG support, and should get Android 14 too.

    If the price is right, lower than G84, and you like the phone, go for it.

    If the price is the same, and the camera is not in your focus, then get the G84 because it has an amasing battery life, microSD expansion is very nice too.

    Modern day lower midrangers offer the luxury of 6gb ram, faster processors and are an exciting segment to look.

    Here are few truly valuable midrangers, suiting our preferences: (premium camera, 4k video rec & microsd support)
    • Realme 12 plus - mar 24 _ 50p,8w,2m​

    Realme, well known for its camera 1st approach and has recently released a bombshell right there.
    • Samsung F54 5g - July 23_ 64p,2w,8m​

    A popular midranger over the past few months that ticks all boxes and even chosen as best midranger by many websites.
    • Oppo F25 Pro - Feb 24 _32p,2w,8m​

    Very high bang for the buck right here and Camera has been a big flex of this phone.
    • Oppo Reno 11 -jan 24 _50p,8w,32t​

    This phone is highly rated for its slowmo video especially and comes with a flagship telephoto lens as well. All this comes at a higher price making it a higher mid Ranger.



    The moto G54 and G84 are the other big guns in the category but don't support 4k video and dont have macro lens.

    (P - primary lens, W- wide angle, M - Macro, T - telephoto)
    Thank you so much for the elaborate response, after 5 days of intense research, I wasn't happy enough with the offers at the 300-400 range, not enough to call the shot, so I ended up lowering the budget to avoid disappointment, and got a poco x6 for 277 euros, is alright, I feel like if I had forked out more for a redmi note 12 pro plus or note 13 pro plus, I would feel disappointed...

    Not sure yet, but seeing as my HTC has had its life dramatically extended by HTC unlocking bootloader for thier devices and so making it much easier to root and mod I am finding it difficult to find a complelling reason to move from HTC

    Probably the Galaxy S3. Hopefully we'll see an updated Note later in the year.
