What do you think about this: https://www.phonecompares.com/mobile-compare/xiaomi-12-vs-xiaomi-13/

Should I upgrade my Xiaomi 12 with the new one?

Cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones

I'm looking at the Nubia Z50 5G smartphones and some others that are cheaper that have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU. Does anyone have any recommendations?

 

[JackDCalloway]

I'm considering a new phone, good camera is a key argument, to take good Fotos of friends, family, young and old plus honeymoon vacation.
I like the android experience, so custom roms are also an argument.

Using a redmi note 10 pro at the moment, wasn't that happy with gcam on crdroid, but also unhappy with data grabbing stock Rom.

Considering to order a pixel 7pro, for camera and grapheneos os for privacy.

Any recommendations, experiences, opinions, additions?
Pixel 7pro is also the upper financial limit, kinda.

Hi!
I'm not new to XDA and I like flashing custom ROMs to increase the lifespan of my phone, remove bloatwares and get a root access.
I'm stuck on Android 11 with my OnePlus 3T for a while (since there's no 4.x kernel). I didn't follow the news for the new devices and Android features so I'd like to have your up-to-date recommendations
I also owned a Google Nexus 5 and a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. The latter has been horrible in terms of performance/ram management as soon as I flashed an Android 12 custom ROM...

Due to my limited financial ressources I think I'll buy a second-hand device.
Today, what are the best Android devices/manufacturers for modding/custom ROMs? OnePlus? Nothing phone?
Thank you in advance for your advices and feedbacks.

If you had to choose between OnePlus 8 Pro and Xiaomi Poco F3, which one would you buy?

This is kinda late for this post, but my Poco F3 with Arrow OS 13.0 is *solid*! Battery life is routinely great (screen-on rate between 7-8% per hour) and the performance is really smooth at 120Hz.

Whatever they give me a 70% discount !

If you wanna buy Nubia Z50 i have one to sell it is awesome phone, unfortunately i cannot use it as daily phone since i have some apps for work, which i do not want to delete if a global rom comes out. Otherwise, it is a great phone for money, great camera, very fast, beautiful screen, battery is awesome, sits nicely in the hand. With leather back you dont even need a case, only camera protection.

Stuck between Pixel 7 Pro and S22 Ultra. What do you suggest ?

I ended up with Poco F3. Thanks.

Best low budget smartphone for installing custom roms

Hello,
at the moment I'm using OnePlus 6T with A13 Pixel Experience Plus, I'm very satisfied but the smartphone is very old and camera is not so good...

I would like to buy a new smartphone but my budget is very low and my doubts are:
- it worths to change smartphone with a low budget for example Poco X5 (is about 250€... max price I can pay now)? cameras are better in a smartphone like this compared with the OP6T?
- what is the "best" smartphone to buy if I want to install PE on it?

 

[leas82]

Bought my second flagship phone last week, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Will get the next generation when it releases.

Which android phone is best for custom roms without voiding the warranty?

Hello!
I’m interested in buying an android phone which has great support for custom roms.

Thanks

 

[msgranger12]

If Budget is not a constraint, I would whole-heartedly suggest getting any latest Pixel device. I'm a user of Pixel 7 Pro and I'm really happy with the phone. Looking to get my hands on the Pixel 8 as soon as it releases!

Hi everyone, this would be my first post so sorry for any inconvenience.


I'm thinking of upgrading my tablet but I've always liked small tablets under 10' unfortunately, as we all know they are hardware-adjusted, after searching and reading some reviews out there I've settled on these three that fit my needs. needs, basic tasks, reading reports and basic tasks; I don't play games, I don't multitask demanding I don't edit videos....


Nokia t10 vs lenovo m9; They are similar in everything, they have their advantages, for example, the update of 2 OS by Nokia makes it more attractive to me, but I see its model as very wide and its processor lower performance (t606). I also don't know if the option of the Google's entertainment center usually freezes or the dual screen option is the same (hopefully it's already fixed). On the other hand, the new lenovo M9 also has the update of an OS that also comes in handy, it has a more powerful processor than nokia but it has a smaller graphics engine, in terms of software it is seen that it is going very well and in the reviews that I have read it has not presented problems beyond hardware limitations.


Amazon fiere 8 HD plus: I don't know much about this tablet and I don't know how it is XD
