What android phones do you recommend and why?

  Whenever someone asks for smartphone recommendations and doesn’t list specific features they’re looking for I’ll just tell them to get an iPhone. Any iPhone really. While I’m Android user myself, I’ve come to the conclusion that if you don’t have a specific reason for why you don’t want an iPhone then you should get an iPhone. It’s the best choice for 99% of users. If it’s too expensive then buy used/older model. They’re just as good. I don’t have iPhone myself because I wanted a removable battery and headphone jack.

  I bought the Xiaomi 13t and I am satisfied so far. Not a huge Xiaomi fan but this is my second one. Also people dislike the MIUI but you can change it back to the usual android interface… The only thing I don’t really like is the reversed bottom menu buttons. Haven’t figured out if you can change it

  Bought it for 620€ with a tablet included. Definitely not worth it if you only want the phone, but I also wanted a new tablet so this was a good choice.

  I really wanted the Google pixel, but 128GB was just not enough for me and it was also more expensive for only a phone

    I wondered for a few seconds before replying that you couldn’t find that much simple thing.

    Go to settings, i think in display section or better search in settings for mirrored bottom buttons. I think its in home settings.

  Depends on your use cases and budget

  I see alot of people are recommending the fairphone and I wouldn’t mind getting one myself but they lack support for alot of major features do not have good price to performance whatsoever and have generally lackluster support when it comes to replacement parts ive seen people waiting absolutely ages for just a replacement usb c port on there fp4 just buy whatever will best meet all your usecases within your budget

  I’m considering Fair Phone to be my next one. The latest has 5G support.

  If you don’t mind the Chinese government having access to your data I highly recommend OnePlus phones. High quality and loaded with features for much lower cost than Samsung and iPhones. Also not loaded with bloatware. My first phone lasted 4 years (more if I just didn’t feel like upgrading at the time, there was nothing wrong with it). My second phone is still going strong 2 years later so far. Probably will upgrade in another 2 years again.

    In a way, it’s better if a foreign government has your data and not your own.

      Yeah I don’t ever plan on visiting China or pursuing a career in politics so I don’t see it as much of an issue. They can blackmail me all they want with my browsing history but I can’t afford to give them anything worthwhile.

  I’ve been using Motorola phones for about 5 years now. I don’t want to fork out the ridiculous amount of money for the flagship phones, nor do I want to lose my “bring your own phone” plan price. They have an assortment of phones in different budget ranges and I love some of the features they come with, specifically the karate chop flashlight feature. Haven’t been let down yet. I will say I use my phone mainly as a texting/calling and browsing device so I can’t comment on how they do in games, as I never play games.

  Well, I’d totally get a fairphone if enough people start following my OF

  I’m keeping my Galaxy J7 until it literally stops working.
