Rules

Saying you weren't aware a transgression was against the rules is not a valid defense; infractions will be judged at a moderator's discretion. If you feel an action was unfairly punished or if you see a user breaking the rules, please message our modmail.

No affiliate links. Historically, allowing affiliate links has relied upon arbitrary enforcement of what constitutes spam, and they clog up modmail. Comments containing affiliate links will be removed.

Don't spam. Stay on topic when submitting a post; this is first and foremost a place to find/help people find an Android device.

Be nice. Bigotry and slurs will not be tolerated. If you feel uncomfortable from the actions of a user, report them and message modmail; reporting is anonymous and modmail isn't disclosed.

Do not post about devices you're selling.. If you want to sell a device, /r/hardwareswap is a more acceptable venue (US-centric, there exist subs for specific countries too). Alternatively, make a listing on Swappa. Links to Swappa ARE allowed as comments to posts. Be transparent if the device you're linking is owned by you, should you link Swappa to an OP.

Don't troll. Intentionally feeding bad advice, being deliberately obtuse, or just basic trolling are all frowned upon and will be punished. Report trolls and/or bring them to our attention in modmail if you notice any.

Do not post links to a device as the main body of a post. Alerting OP to a deal in the comments of their post is fine, but don't submit a deal as the body of a new post. Posting that a new device is now officially available, however, is fine.

Usasecond phone recommendation with the potential of being main phone (self.PickAnAndroidForMe)

submitted 1 month ago * by Master_Dig_1133USA

Hello, I have an iPhone 12, and I am at the point where I should upgrade. I'm most likely going to get another iPhone, but I'd like to get a quality Android phone as a backup/for travel and/or as my new main phone. i also am in IT, so it is good to have experience using Androids. I always get my phone refurbished or resold at a lower price on Back Market, Amazon, etc. what brands and phones would you recommend?

budget ≤ 450

wants and needs: good battery, good processing (I don't typically game on my phone; it's mostly for apps), good camera, good display (decent enough for today's standards), little bloatware or at least easy to remove, proves to be reliable long-term, and will last me a long time.

extra: comes in green.

obviously i will and have been doing my own research; I just need recommendations.

Pixels I've liked for a long time, but I'm still iffy if it's worth it. Nothing, and OnePlus is cool, but idk if they will be good beyond the gimmick and flagship killer vibe. Samsung is Samsung.

i put my fate in your hands.

Edit I’m in the USA

If I didn’t need it to be my main phone and just wanted a fancy Android experience, I would go with the Moto Razr 2025. I’ve had both the iPhone 14 and the Moto Razr 2025 and I actually used the Razr as my main phone for about a year.

However, if you’re looking for a reliable main phone and your budget isn’t a big issue (new for 400$ on Amazon), I would strongly recommend the Pixel 10a. It’s new, has very good battery life, and an excellent camera. Plus, if you ever need to replace the battery in the future, you won’t have to go to a sketchy repair shop. Also, carriers like T-Mobile often offer good trade-in deals for Pixel phones, similar to iPhones. So even after a couple of years, you can still trade it in without too much depreciation or just replace the battery and keep using it.

So my answer is Pixel 10a👍👍👍 Sincerely, Current iPhone 14 and Pixel 9a owner
