[Discussion] What's your next smartphone / What should I buy

[ManojNairOnline]

Just got a Samsung M32 so not thinking about a replacement immediately. Basically, the replacement part for me depends on what I want from my Smartphone. Over the years, have noted that phones do not last more than 1-2 years. With newer models coming in almost daily, think I will next go for a Samsung model, which is water-resistant and able to handle some damage due to rough use. Getting on in years and not as alert as I used to be.

Hi All ,
I'm looking for Tablet , nothing fancy since my price range is around 250Euro/300Dolars
From what I can see all China tablets with T618 are quiet good
Also Samsung TAB A8 2022(also T618) and S6 lite are good options and these ones have Widevine L1
Xiaoxin Pad 11 looks also nice but this is one would be china version with snap 662 and Rom options seems to be limited
XIaoxin Pad Pro 11,5 cost a little more than I would like to spend but if it worth I would go for it , also chines version with snap 730 and Roms options are limited
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 is pricy but seems to be best option for the money
My question really is :
Is is worth to spend 2x for Xiaomi/Xiaoxin/Lenovo P11 than on T619 tablet
My use case is : youtube , hearthstone from time to time and books , netflix once a blue moon
Thank you for every input

One of my friends looking to get Realme 8 5G smartphone with Dimensity 810 chipset. Any experiences with the device?

Wife and I desperately need a new phones (s9+ with dying Battery), we waited for the 22 ultra to be the new one.

.. But 1500€ for a, in my opinion ugly and overpriced phone can't be the right thing for us.

Second, unfortunately we live in Exynos Region, (Germany), this was never as good as the Snapdragon soc (except bootloader)

After 12 years of Android, I never thought I would even think about, I consider buying an iPhone.

Any suggestions what to buy?

If you want to stick with samsung but don't want exynos go Fold 3. They were only snapdragon. I have had one since launch and absolutely love it.

Vivo Y75 5G would be my upcoming phone. In budget segment, this has good camera and powerful Mediatek 5G chipset as well.

I will buy an iPhone next time cuz although I love Android for customization, iPhone's social media and interface optimization appeals to me more.

If you are looking for something really good in budget, Infinix Zero 5G with Dimensity 900 chipset and 120H display is a good option.

Hello. I am looking for a 5G smartphone, equipped with a microSD reader, and having an integrated FM radio, with RDS support.
Or a possibility, with the same characteristics, of replacing the ROM with one equipped with this RDS radio function.
Thank you in advance.

Going for a Realme GT Neo 3 or OnePlus 10R because of Dimensity 8100 chipset. Which one is better between them?

 

[Adeelnm]

Whick two Oppo phones should I consider buying and why? My shortlist has these devices:
A95, A76, F17, F19, f19 Pro, k9X.
I am not a heavy gamer.
Basically I prefer snapdragon phones over others. Budget is 25,000 to 40,000 PKR

Post your recommendation for Inexpensive Phone to use for Android Development​

I'll start this thread off with a Manufacturer to avoid: TCL. fastboot mode has been disabled in my TCL A30 and TCL support will not provide any unlocking codes:

My post was moved from a thread that targeted inexpensive devices to utilize for Android development. The last 5 posts, in this new thread, do not even address ease of rooting, cost etc.. One opines about Apple products. I specifically was looking for a cheap well supported, Android phone and this thread with over 1000+ posts would be a morass to wade through looking to address that question. Lumped into general phone recommendations, this lessens the ability to do a targeted search. I challenge the moderator to generate a lists of cheap, easy to root phone for development out of this forum.

Verizon bought Tracfone. I signed up with Tracfone before the sale and had my choice of ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon sims. Before the phase out of 3g was started, Verizon phones needed CDMA. I bought a new but outdated Google Pixel 3A that would work with any carrier (CDMA/GSM/4G-LTE). Verizon CDMA will be less pertainent, in the USA, as Verizon plans to shut down 3G CDMA at the end of the year. I'm using a Tracfone -Verizon sim and I did have an issue not being able to connect to LTE. It took several months and several calls to Tracfone to get LTE. It involved entering a New APN . something that was not detailed on Tracfones website at the time.

Hi guys
My Xiaomi Redmi Note 7's battery is dying and there's no trustable place here to go for replacement. All spare batteries are not original spare parts and repair shop doesn't offer any kind of guarantees. So I'll sell this device as it is

So, I'm looking for a replacement phone, if possible Xiaomi, with at least 6gb ram, 256gb storage, NFC, 4500mha battery, etc.
I didn't have a phone so stable/durable like Redmi Note 7 and looking for replacement to be similar

Any suggestions? Thanks

You can get a Nokia, which has excellent software support and pure Android. You can also go for Google Pixel phones, which are excellent devices and have the best features, as well as more custom ROM support. Xiaomi for now has bad software, which is basically full OF BUGS.
