So, what phone are you using now?
I have Xperia XA Dual, really old but can't upgrade because I don't have money and my parents think phones are the worst invention of the century for students
What's your budget?ricklar wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 10:25 pm "the worst invention of the century for students" that made me laugh out loud
My phones is 2 years old now and started researching and looking at a new phone to buy myself. Only will consider Android Phones. Only way I ever get an Apple phone again is if it totally free lol.
Here are my conclusions:
Best Budget Phones, unlocked + decent features + decent hardware:
1) UMIDIGI F1 Play
2) Xiaomi REDMI Note 7 Pro
Best Overall Phone, unlocked + good price + features + hardware:
1) Xiaomi MI9 6GB Ram 128GB Storage
Best Flagships, downside is the price:
1) OnePlus 7 Pro
2) Hauwei P30 Pro
3) Google Pixel 3XL, key perk is always get the latest Android Updates and Security patches before everybody else does.
Most likely to buy:
1) Samsung S10e, Will most likely get a Samsung S10e under mobile contract to receive the phone at a discounted price.
Downsides = locked into a contract for 2 years and phone is locked to provided carrier.
Positives = phone has great features and great hardware, phone has the IP68 water protection, I like the smaller form factor compared to it's larger brothers or other flagships, and the Samsung Dex software really interests me.
Right now I can afford all of the ones on the list I made. Just really don't want to invest all that money on a Flagship phone right now when next year 5G should be in my area. If I go the contract route, I should be able to get an upgrade discount if I upgrade to 5G next year on a new 5G phone. So that is why the Samsung seems like my most likely path.
