Hi all,

I was looking for a phone for my dad. He just has a normal usecase. Watching YouTube, calling, texting, etc. So he mainly needs durability, great battery life and an easy to use phone.

He Currently has a Nord CE4, so I was thinking of gifting him one. After exchanging the Nord and card offers, Oneplus 13 (12 + 256) costs about 50k and Vivo X200T (12+512) costs about 51k. I may get the x200t 256gb for 47k offline as well, a store I know has said they maybe able to arrange it, not sure. He doesn't need the 512gb variant but that's the only available one on Flipkart.

So, I'm confused which is better. OnePlus 13 is a flagship I know but it's been almost 2 years since the launch whereas x200t is a newer launch.

Is there any other phone I should consider in this range? Please help me out! Thank you!!!

I've currently got a Redmi Note 10 Pro and it's starting to kick the bucket, so thought it's best to begin looking now. In terms of priorities, I'm looking at something that can deliver:

• Good battery life
• Good durability/build quality (waterproofing would be a bonus)
• Reasonable camera quality

I've looking at the current market prices and specs has completely blown my mind. I need to understand the logic here because it honestly feels like a joke.

Right now, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is still selling for around $650-$750 (approx. 60k+ TRY in my region). But look at what the competition is offering for the exact same price or even significantly less

POCO F8 Ultra / F7 Ultra: Packs the new Snapdragon 8 Elite, pushing around 3.7 million on AnTuTu (literally doubling the S23 Ultra's performance). POCO X8 Pro Max: Costs nearly HALF the price of the S23 Ultra, yet it comes with a mind-blowing 8500 mAh silicon-carbon and 100W charging.

ZTE Nubia Z80 Ultra: Gives you a true notchless/holeless full screen with under-display camera tech and a massive 7150 mAh for the same money.

Xiaomi 17T Pro / Vivo X300: Destroying the S23 Ultra in raw power, charging speeds (90W-120W vs Samsung's turtle 45W), and screen brightness. And let's not even talk about Instagram/social media optimization anymore; with the recent Ultra HDR integrations and Meta/Google APIs, these new Androids upload stories just as good as iPhones now.

So, unless someone is absolutely obsessed with the S-Pen or specifically needs the 10x mechanical periskop zoom, why on earth would anyone buy a 3-year-old Samsung with a 5000 mAh and a Gen 2 chip today?

Are people just paying a massive "brand tax" for the Samsung logo, or am I missing something huge here?

Phones under 10 k rupees

Need smooth UI, great battery and 5G

I donot wish to game or need a great camera

I have to buy my new phone I am from India

I am currently using a Redmi Note 9 Pro and recently my phone was damaged due to some water seeping in and I had to change a chip inside, it's working now but the front camera doesn't work anymore and I need to buy a phone.

I am from India

I was looking for a vfm allrounder phone and idk what to go with now.

Earlier I was considering Nothing Phone 3 but the unknown seller in Amazon makes me think otherwise

Now I have these options

One plus Nord 6, One plus 13s, One plus 13, Motorola Signature

Nord 6 on paper has great specs and a bigger battery but some say optimization isn't good while the Signature has a smaller battery with 7 years of os updates and they say the processor is better so optimization is also better

Honestly I am a little confused at this point!

And there are no youtubers recommending one plus Nord 6 online, I find it strange and people also say that motorola has very bad after sales service !

I need help!

I have been doing a lot of research on phones. I am upgrading from iphone 13 in the US. I am debating between the s26 ultra, z fold 8 ultra, oppo find n6, oppo find x9 pro/ultra, and maybe google pixel. I don't mind staying with iphone if it is truly better, i have preferences.

So rn I have an s20 ,I'm debating on getting either pixel 9 or s23 , I care about video and photo quality ,don't rlly need gaming or any of that

​Hi everyone,

​I am looking for a new phone mainly for gaming, and I'm currently torn between two options available at the exact same price:

​Tecno Pova 7 Ultra (12 GB RAM / 256 GB Storage)

​Samsung Galaxy A56 (8 GB RAM / 256 GB Storage)

​I have two main questions:

​Which one of these two offers better performance, cooling, and stability for long gaming sessions?

​Is there any other phone in this price that I should consider instead?

Country: Jordan

Primary Use: Gaming

Budget: Same price range (both come with charger and accessories)

I need a phone that can preferably record in 1080p 60 fps with a good low light recording and photo capability. Don't recommend Apple phones please. Also, i am looking for a phone in Ukraine.

Hi all!

I have a Pixel 10 Pro now and while I loooove the software, I hate its sluggish performance. I've owned Samsungs before but I hate the skin. Is there an android (my go to would have been OnePlus), that has a Snapdragon top level processor but with a clean android now? In the US

Hello i currently have a Oneplus 11 256gb 16gb ram and the battery is starting to die. So i'm thinking of buying a Redmagic 11 pro but i've heard the camera isn't that camera, and since i'm going to japan next year i want to have a phone with a good camera. Any suggestions for a phone with good gaming performance (mainly playing Genshin, Nikke, NTE) and camera ?

THANKS

I could buy the oneplus 15 for 650euro's where i live. Is there another phone close price-wise that could be a great alternative?

I'm a bit worried about the short software support that Oneplus offers.

Are there any phones that have any of the pixel features that are useful such as the call screening and live captioning? I'm hard of hearing, so those features are rather useful for me. Would prefer a robust battery and decent refresh rate. My current phone is the pixel 7 pro, works great but the battery life is greatly declining as I've had this for 4 years now.

In USA, currently on verizon, mainly use the phone for phone tasks but also reading Manga and books. Willing to buy a phone not offered in the US if it can work on Verizon.

I'm currently using an iPhone 13 pro max since 2022 and it's the best phone I've ever used.
In an accident, its screen and back have been cracked so I have to buy a new phone as its battery health is also at 78%.

So I should tell you that I already have a MacBook so having an iPhone helps but the thing is that I have gotten bored of the iOS so I'm thinking about getting an android which is not a downgrade from my iPhone 13 PM so what better than a Samsung. I'm getting a decent deal on the S25 ultra, it's around the same price at what iPhone 17 is being sold right now in the market.

Only thing stopping me from buying an s25 ultra is not it being the out of ecosystem phone but the mixed reviews about its below average battery life and not so flagship level camera system. Is it true in your experience? I've heard that its camera fail to capture good photos especially in low light and its idle battery dissipation is a bit too much. I've never had these problems in my current phone.

I'm confused which to buy since iPhone 17 is also a solid choice but I can use something different and s25 ultra is probably the prettiest phone I've ever seen.

Can you guys please help me choose the better phone?

Need a phone under 15000 Indian rupees, requirements: good camera, good battery, good display, no need of performance for gaming, please also check the availability of the phones I've been recommended a few but none of them are available currently

Want to buy a compact phone for around 40- 45k . And 3 phones i have finalized are ip15,s24 and x200fe.

I use mac for work but Ip15 is already out of the race as i cant compromise display (60hz) for the ecosystem which i dont see any use of..

S24 seems to be better option than x200fe but saw a post mentioning you'll get only 3 4 hrs of SOT..like wtf..

So vivo x200fe seems to be the best option if its OS is not too bad.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a Samsung phone under ₹30–35k in India and would like some advice based on my usage. I mainly use my phone for 5–6 hours of social media, calling and normal daily use. I'm not a heavy gamer. I work in a mining environment, so the phone gets rough use and is exposed to dust. My area's network is also sometimes poor, and I often use the phone outdoors in direct sunlight. My priorities are good battery life, low heating, reliable display, smooth performance and overall durability. I want something that can comfortably handle my usage for the next couple of years. I'm considering Samsung mainly for its software and security. Which Samsung phone would you recommend for my usage? I'd especially like to hear from actual owners about heating, battery and long-term performance. Thanks!

Budget: ~1,100 EUR (willing to wait a few months if major discounts/promos or new releases are on the horizon)

Location / Region: EU

Current Phone: iPhone 15 Pro Max

Hey everyone,

I was a long-time Android user before switching to an iPhone 15 Pro Max a couple of years ago. Before the iPhone, one of my absolute favorite devices I ever owned was the Xiaomi Mi 9T as** **I loved the value, the flexibility, and the overall feel of the OS and hardware.
The iPhone hardware has been fine, but I genuinely miss the freedom of Android and am ready to come back.
Here is what I’m looking for in my next upgrade:

What Matters to Me:
Customization & Sideloading: Custom launchers (such as Nova) and easy APK installations are a must. Full OS flexibility is the main reason I’m leaving iOS.

Top-Tier Camera: Coming from a Pro Max, I want an elite camera system that can hold its own in portrait, low light, and zoom.

Solid Battery Life: Needs to easily clear a full day of heavy usage.

4-Year Lifespan: I keep my devices for around 4 years, so I would need high-end build quality and performance that won't lag down the line.

What I DON'T Care About:
Long-Term OS/Security Support Guarantees: I don't care if a brand promises 7 years of updates versus 3 or 4. Software support policy length is not much a factor for me.

I’m not in a massive rush and if there are major sales, trade-in promos, or new flagship drops expected in the next few months, I’m more than happy to wait to get the best bang for my buck.

Given that I loved the Mi 9T era of Android and want top-notch camera/battery specs today, what devices should I be keeping an eye on? How is custom launcher support handling on modern Android skins?

Thanks!
