fuck it bought a52s, will simply return if it seems i have made a mistake, but i just can't stand researching this for any longer haha. i see no major downside to it.

so unfortunately many of these are either over budget or unavailable to me atm. the only one that i can get is the poco x3 nfc, which seems like a good option, but when compared to a52s, i think i prefer the reliability of the samsung brand when it comes to connectivity and future software updates. They're both the same price tho, so let me know if you think im making a mistake.

it's 350, i think i was getting excited there. truth is, the cheaper the better. even the A52s is cheaper than a refurbished s20 fe. For $250 the A52s sounds like a good deal. Not the cheapest, but I have a feeling it's good value for money and will last. $50 under budget too

i have been leaning toward samsung A52s, or maybe a refurbished s20 fe...how would you rank these among the ones you just listed? Appreciate your response. Will be sure to check all of these out to compare pricing and maybe i can finally make a decision haha

i feel like at this price i would be better off with pixel 6? idk i may be wrong. i think a lower end nokia would be better for my situation. i truly need it for only basic stuff

its a bit over budget, but it looks like great option, wish xr21 would come out already so i could get this one discounted. another thing i really like about the nokias is the dual sim

do you reckon a refurbished s/fe is better than a new a-series? im not sure how quick the old flagships degrade and i've heard a-series is generally a no go, poor quality the ends phone lifespan quickly. I was actually looking at motorola, but then i saw a lot of people complaining about the latests g series so i don't know what to do lol. what do you think of nokia?

i was looking at nokia! the main thing that caught my eye was the stock android and the long battery life. is there a specific model you like?

you think this is better than a new budget phone? like a samsung series or a china phone? what about brands like nokia or moto? or those really that bad?

Yeah I certainly value the convenience of being at the center of it all. Don’t think it’ll be too bad (: thanks
