Phone battle royale
| S24 (most expensive one)
iphone 14 (budget iphone, but idk i never had ios)
Pixel 8 Pro
Pixel 8
Pixel 8a
Galaxy A55
Vivo V40 12GB RAM (i honestly avoided chinese phones so far, but it seems maybe reasonable choice? idk still)
Vivo V40 8GB RAM
Motorola EDGE 50 Pro (I liked DeX on Samsung, but them lines are so confusing and confusely cheaper than other phones)
Motorola EDGE 50 Fusion
Motorola EDGE 50
i would be happy for anyone who would suggest me what avoid or eliminate etc.
| my budget is around 540€, S24 costs more of course, also iphone for example.. i can maybe change it, but i need think about it twice before it
| i will read more about these, but it's so much articles and reviews honestly
| Yes.
| >>1039861 i was throwing dices whole time and i had 3 and 4, so Vivo in 8 GB RAM version won, thank you a lot *thread locked* xd
jk.. i'm sorry for annoying, i have really choice paralysis
| Chinese phones are usually really good value for money. Mine is one and it hasn't failed me for years. Just be careful that they usually pre-install a bunch of crap (you can uninstall/disable them).
I do *not* recommend iPhones. Even if you just want a Phone That Works, they're impossible to upgrade or maintain long-term.
12GB RAM is a bit overkill for phones imo (unless you're gonna play big games on it?), 8GB Vivo can probably serve you well, honestly.
| Just get one you can install Linux on
| >>1039891 i honestly won't because of good Warranty conditions in my country
>>1039872 it is what scares me honestly Motorola too, also i really don't like ui of Xiaomi for example which is no go for me sadly.. i can often get on 100+ opened tabs and other apps and idk how much ram is needed but i want get on experience of 888 but I don't remember what ram S21 FE had
| For UI you can just use launcher apps. I think a little hassle (removing crap pre-installed apps, downloading the apps I need, knowing basic online security) is worth the cheaper price, but that's just me.

How is that what you took from what I said -_-
I said Chinese phones are fine, great value for the price, it's just a little more hassle.
| tbh 8GB RAM version is first eliminated one since there is only 40€ between them
| ohh and Zenfone 11 Ultra joined game (i found flash discount for same price as Pixel 8 or MOtorola EDGE 50 Pro)
| I would choose pixel 8a
clean android, long update support (6 yrs?), good size and specs
| The answer is, "D". All the above.
| imo pixel is the obvious choice
| >>1039915 if i can be honest Pixel 8 seemed as one of nice choices :D Pro looked as too heavy little when i readed it today.. but Zenfone with 8 gen 3 looks somehow nice too now.. i feel overwhelmed little xD i like that Google do support long as this but if i will be realistic i never had phone which lasted more than 3 years.. i would want say that Battery was reason but no, usually it was fatal thing as networks, boot, unstable system etc :c but luckily i got usually money back
| >>1039915 >>1039920 if you could have Pixel 8(a/norm/pro) or Zenfone 11 Ultra for same price, what would you choose and why?:o
| Galaxy A55 and iPhone 14 was eliminated
| Xperia 10 with Linux on it
| >>1039949 i had Xperia 10 II in past, but sadly they are all overpriced and not well equipped.. since times when XZ Premium was peak are sadly away :(
| Motorola EDGE 50 Fusion was eliminated
| there are left:
Galaxy S24
Pixel 8a 256 GB
Pixel 8
Pixel 8 Pro
Vivo V40 12GB RAM
Motorola Edge 50
Motorola Edge 50 Pro
Zenfone 11 Ultra
| Motorola Edge 50 was eliminated
| Vivo V40 was eliminated
| d-d-double kill!
| >>1039922
pixel has the best rom support. it's not even a comparison, google also has a very good history with their version of android.
and you should rethink if you belive your country has very good warrenties but using a rom voids it, that is ridiculous
| i care about rom support above all else. because i don't game on my phone and phone cameras kinda suck regardless. soo all that's left is how polished, reliable and secure the phone is, for which there's no competition
| slight derail. i really wish the pinephone didn't fucking suck on the software side
| >>1039983 idk if best but i had 2 phones for 4 years in total and i pad 0 for them because they gived me 100% back.. it is ridiculous but root or flashing memory is breaking warranty. Also i don't want honestly install any alternative rom honestly somehow deeply i just want take phone box and i wish it would be good in everything. I'm thinking about it but i feel i can theoretically accept older Android if hardware would be better. DeX feature is something what i also consider
| just buy a cheap phone then use the rest of the money on onlyfans and tinder premium
| there are left:
Galaxy S24
Pixel 8 Pro
Motorola Edge 50 Pro
Zenfone 11 Ultra
| In the fight met Motorola Edge 50 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro.. why should one or other? It seems Pixel have desktop mode too
| Motorola Edge 50 Pro was eliminated
| Pixel 8 Pro won't let you record calls iirc
| >>1040081 i suppose that only selected chinese movies with older android or something maybe can.. but honestly i don't need record calls
| i think i get in final boss phase.. Zenfone 11 Ultra with weaker software.. Or Pixel with strong software but weaker hardware..
| Zenfone 11 Ultra has better video for quality porn recording
| >>1040084 I'm worrying Pixel 8 Pro have better camera in this way.. but it's definitely have better refresh date and better processor to run porn with ray tracing i believe
| I'm curious by Zenfone probably more but I want probably try Pixel 8 physically to know if i lose anything.. but all of them looks so heavy.. upgrade from 160 grams to 220 grams.. i think my face will become waffle xd
| Pixel 8 Pro has better pixel screen density for better porn viewing
| >>1040091 honestly all density around 400 is almost invisible for human eye if you don't do porn vr.. on phone you have low Chance to see differences between full hd and 4k
| Pixel 8 Pro was eliminated
S24 FE Joined the game
there are left:
S24
S24 FE
Zenfone 11 Ultra
| Zenfone 11 Ultra was eliminated
| S24 was eliminated
| Winner of Phone battle royale for 2025 is becoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE! Suddenly joined while hiding in bushes of unexpected discounts, maybe it was unfair backstab for Google Pixel and Zenfone, but results is what it is.
Let's see here again in 2-7 years again ^^
| Hurray! Hopefully not less than 3 years! Have fun! Can I see your pretty hand holding it?
| >>1040453 tbh i never had 3 years, 2 years was record xd
maybe if i will get phone before this thread will get locked i will xd my bank sadly updating security and I can't make another purchase for upcoming 7 hours.. + waiting for delivery xd
| xD go g/u/rl go!
Refresh
| Hello, i'm looking for new phone, i already filtered them and in my country i can't get better than these probably until i would shipping them which i want honestly avoid because of good refund conditions in my country etc. i honestly want pick one of these.. in past i had phones as XZ Premium or S21 FE and i loved them.. and i would want something similar..
there phones which i left but i'm thinking if is there something what i should avoid, some cost more, some less etc.
