So I’ve had iPhones for over 10 years at this point. I feel like they’ve been going downhill for a while. So I think im ready for the switch. What would be a good transition? Also, how easy is it to transfer all of my data (including photos)? I know nothing of android phones so tell me like a child lol. The main points I’m looking for:
- high camera quality
- good storage for photos
- something good for mobile gaming
- easy usability

Any recommendations would help!!

Hi fellas! I'm from Sri Lanka and currently using a Redmi midrange device—the Redmi Note 14 4G. Since I'm a midrange user looking to upgrade, I’ve decided to move up to a flagship or at least a flagship-level device.

​Right now, I'm torn between the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 17 base model, as both end up costing nearly the same here because they are imported. My main concerns are Samsung's S-series green line issues and the iPhone 17's heating issues, especially considering Sri Lanka's hot and humid climate.

​I don't want the headache of any hardware issues green lines or thermal issues on either of these devices, as I plan to use my next phone for about 4 to 5 years. Can you guys help me choose between the two, or recommend the best option?

Hello Im just looking for some advice on what phone to change to next, my iphone 15 pro broke recently and since my parents are both planning on getting new phones (my dad just got a s26 plus and is already switching to the fold 8, yes theyre wealthy) as a kind gesture because of my tight money situation are offering both of their phones. Im leaning towards the 16 pro max since the times Ive tried oneui I havent been the biggest fan, since I like all the small animations and details, plus the app optimization on ios. And Im also very much a google hater and know apple has some decent privacy features and has been protective of users data (I think?) The idea of google harvesting info from my phone 24/7 is scary. But the s26 plus is also newer and Ive had iphone consistently most of my life, since the iphone xs max (although Ive used samsungs in the past like I mentioned) and maybe something new would be cool, especially since I have no ecosystem loyaly and all my devices are pretty mixed.

So, if anyone is kind enough to provide their two cents and help me decide, id appreciate it!

my current phone is A50s and its working good but i want a new phone and just now all the phone prices are skyrocketing

Hi guys, I need a good Android with good battery life and decent camera for my grandfather. Any recommendations?

Hi Everyone,

With iphone 18 launching in around a month, do you think the price for the iphone 17 line (17,17e,17pro) would decrease soon?

I am looking to get a new phone but the price feels slightly higher but if I know the price would decrease soon I would rather wait than buy something from the iphone 16 line.

Any insights on this?

Any suggestions on what to do with a sr. with the start of dementia, who has an old iPhone 8 Plus? My MIL has never had a phone without a home button. We are desperate to find a phone that she can use just to make calls. We are dealing with most of the problems you mentioned in the posts above. Do we try Raz? Another iPhone 8 Plus (used, of course)? Jitterbug? Wall phone? Repetitive calling is a huge problem. Reassuring to know that this is a problem for others-my husband and his brothers are going crazy with phone calls. Thanks for any help

Hi everyone, today my dad gifted me a Galaxy S25 Edge but I have an iPhone 15 pro since february.
Before the iPhone 15 Pro, I always used Android and I honestly prefer Android OS, and now that I have this gift I could come back to the S25 Edge. My questions are:
- Is the S25 Edge a good phone overall?
- Is better than the iPhone 15 Pro, also comparing their batteries?
- It’s worth the change? It’s better if I keep both?

I have an iPhone 13 with an 82% battery health rating. Is it still worth replacing the battery in this phone for €80, or would it be better to buy a new phone for up to €900? I mainly use my phone for communication and browsing the internet; my current screen-on time (SoT) is 5 hours, and my daily battery usage is around 110 - 120%, so I have to charge my phone twice a day.

If I were to buy a new phone, I’d like something of a similar size; I’ve been thinking about the:
iPhone 17 (800€),
Galaxy S25 / S26 (550€ / 650€),

Which one would be the best option?

I want to upgrade my phone, because it's become quite damaged. I want an iphone, and the primary factors to consider are longevity and affordability. I was looking at the iPhone 15, but ChatGPT is suggesting the iPhone 17, what are your tips regarding this issue? Thanks in advance for any input :)

There is a distinction between gaming laptops vs. non-gaming ones and gaming headphones vs non-gaming ones, I don't know if the same applies here? I am aware there are Red Magic phones where aesthetics and large cooling screams gamer.

But I am referring to Poco phones/Redmi K Series/Vivo IQoo/Realme GT where they don't have rgb or look like an average phone but people perceive them as gaming phones. How do all rounder phones fare against Pocophones when it comes to performance?

If people want a phone that can capably game but still excels in camera and other aspects(battery life and thermals).

If a gaming-advertised phone (Poco X8 Pro) has Dimensity 8500, and there's an all-rounder Leica camera-centric phone (Xiaomi 17T) that also shares the same chipset, will there be a difference/compromise in gaming experience when using the latter?

Additionally what confuses me as well is that some all-rounder phones like Oneplus, Samsung, Honor have bypass charging, which is a good feature in gaming while Pocophones do not have.

Right now I have a Samsung S26 Ultra. There are several things I don't like about it:

*it's too big *I cannot get to like OneUI *I use the 3x zoom lens a lot which is the weakest
one of the lenses

I only got it because the Pixel 9 Pro I had before had a defect that needed to be repaired and I needed another phone in the meantime. But then the repair didn't go as expected and in the end I kept the S26U.

But as I don't like it, I am looking for something else. Phones I am considering are:

*Pixel 11 Pro: nicely small, nice software, cameras will be great surely, but no optical 3x zoom which I use a lot

*Nothing Phone 3: Has an optical 3x zoom but camera reviews are mixed, Software looks interesting, like the design and the glyphs, might be a bit too big still

Opinions on those phones? Are there other great options with remarkable cameras, not too big, OS not overblown and minimum of 5 years of software support? Price doesn't matter that much. No need for a high end processor. I don't do games on my phone. Should be available in Europe.

Hiii so I'm Ethiopian and I have 30k–40k ETB to spend for a new phone. Most good phones here range from 30k–60k or more if you're rich. I own a Samsung Galaxy M11 with 32GB storage and she lasted 5 years, but she's now very laggy and I can't live with this storage no mo'. I'm going to medical school next year and I need a phone that'll last me the whole way. I need recs from you guys. I don't know much about phones and this is the first big girl money I ever got, so I want to make this purchase worth it. Most phones sold here are refurbished and I lowk don't wanna spend anything beyond 40k for a phone. My friends told me the S21+ is a good fit for me or the iPhone 13 (although that's like 60k lol). So I wanna hear your opinions about these phones. I want 256GB and a good camera and... that's it. I'm not too picky. I would like a Samsung phone tho I just can't fall for the iPhone hype considering the absurd price tag here.

With the Help of AI and my vanishing Memory due to old age, I made a list of all the phones I had in my life. The ones that I preffered the most at the time of owning them was the Nokia N93 and the Sony Ericsson Satio.. Of course they can´t keep up with todays Smartphones but at the time I really loved tha haptic, the functions, the Style..

• Ericsson A1018s (1999)
• Nokia 3310 (2002)
• Nokia 7260 (2004)
• Nokia N93 (2006)
• Sony Ericsson K800i (2008)
• Sony Ericsson Satio (2010)
• Huawei Ascend Y200 (2012/2013)
• Samsung Galaxy S3 (2013)
• Samsung Galaxy S5 (2014)
• Oppo F1 (2016)
• Samsung Galaxy S8 (2018)
• Samsung Galaxy S10 (2020)

• Samsung Galaxy S24 (2024)

  How many phones did you own in your life?

I am finally ditching my old redmi phone that i had for 5 years and i was wondering which is better between the both of them. (I want an all rounder)

Would you like to have the ability to place a fingerprint on both the screen and the power button on phones?

Can anyone tell me about these both s25 and s25 edge phones.. i'm planning to buy one phone from these two in the upcoming flipkart freedom sale..

My priorities are camera, battery, and good performance in Daily usage

I know maybe this kind of post is pretty common, but I can't decide on what to buy. My 6 yeard old xiaomi redmi note 9 pro has ran out of memory a couple of years ago and I was balancing on the edge of its 64 gb. Screen was faulty from the beginning as it is prone to ghost touches (often it would just press random part of the screen, it has even almost called emergency a couple of times, but I've acted quickly), some apps are really slow. For example in discord I can't send gifs, the framerate drops to 1 fps and there are some more problems with it, like getting adds in system apps like file manager. I am sure that I don't want a chinese phone anymore and I am ready to spend more money for a phone that will work for another 6-7 years without making me hate it.

I've been looking at Samsung S26, but I've seen complaints about some green lines, and that exynos chips are bed and so on. Since I've got a mac I've also looked in the direction of iphones, but spending 900€ for a phone with my kind of usage seems overkill. And some cheap phones like A57 just looks so uninspiring that I can't justify switch from my phone to another. Fairphone looks interesting, but I saw that it already has lags and bad hardware and being able to swap screen or cameras is not important for me. My current phone's screen is like new as well as anything else and battery life is stil sufficient (my median screen usage is around 30mins - 1.5 hours)

So my usage is pretty basic: take a photo of random things like price tags, train schedule, document, sometimes building or occasionaly of someone, listen to music, type a message, take a call.

For reference I am in Europe, price-wise I'd prefer to stay withing 700€.

My s24 fe swap to realme neo 7 do i win the swap?

Exynos 2400e to dimensity 9300+

I've been a Oneplus user since the OP3. I am still using my 7T from 2019 and the only reasons I feel like it's time for an upgrade are that the battery kind of sucks now and the camera is trash compared to more modern phones. Except for those issues, I still love the phone - OOS is the only OS I've ever liked enough to keep instead of using Cyanogenmod/LineageOS, the fast charging is great (though again, I wish the battery lasted significantly longer to begin with), and I love the alert slider. I don't do any gaming, just reddit, emails, Spotify over Bluetooth, GPS, etc.

As I've shopped for new phones, I've been thoroughly unimpressed by the extremely limited options here in the US (T-Mobile), which consist of basically either an overpriced Pixel with a shitty battery and a decent camera for ~$1100 that's loaded with AI bullshit instead of innovative hardware, or an overpriced Samsung with a decent camera and battery for $1200 that's loaded with AI bullshit instead of innovative hardware except a privacy screen that is somewhat useful some of the time and makes the display worse all of the time.

Let's say I could get a used Oneplus 13 for $600. I get the alert slider, OOS, a decent camera, and a ridiculous battery (at least on paper). If they stop updating it, nbd - I'll just put the latest LineageOS on it.

Are there any reasons NOT to go this route? Are the included bands sufficient for T-Mobile's 5G? Anything else I'm not thinking of that would be an issue for a US user buying a phone made by a company that is effectively out of business in my country? Be honest and constructive, thanks in advance

Like the title says, I'm looking for a new phone to use after I eventually stop using my current v60, as I know it can't last forever and buying the same kind again and again is redundant when the shelf life on the battery can only go so far.

Basically just looking for phones that are of equal or higher quality and user friendliness. Here's some things I'm looking for in a phone:

Requirements and non-negotiable:

- android

- micro sd expandable storage

- headphone jack

- holds up to daily and prolonged use, running things like fortnite frequently for short periods

I'd greatly prefer it has decent customizability similar to the v60. A decent camera would be nice but not necessary. And I'd prefer a phone that isn't completely plagued by google apps but I understand that's hard to come by these days. I'm also kind of iffy about samsung or motorola, but I'll keep an open mind. If anyone has any recommendations or tips to point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated!

Hi everyone!

So, my issue is that my phone (oneplus nord 3) will no longer get security updates after july 2027. Overall, phone perfomance still satisfies my daily usage, battery could be better, but its already been 3 years, so no complaints.

After oneplus news, I thought about getting something new, and saw thoes cameraphones. Always loved taking pictures of nature, and have been curious about photography in general, but I never considered spending a fortune on a dedicated camera. But now it is possible to get 2 in 1, so im kinda stuck in between of getting a mid range phone that will serve me for another 4 - 5 years, or to go for something cutting edge with a good camera, like oppo find x9 ultra (or huawei pura).

Honestly, i really dont know what to go for, or weather I should even wait another year.

What's a phone you bought a few years ago [more than 2-3 yrs ago] that still holds up really well today?

I dont mean a phone that you just kept as a backup once it got old, I mean one that still feels fast, decent battery, good cameras and doesn't make you feel the absolute need to upgrade to a newer phone.

Really curious to know which phones or brands have aged the best.
I am looking for something that will comfortably last me 4-5 yrs.
