Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) device. Help appreciated!
Hi Lemmy,
I'm in the market for a new phone as my galaxy S10+ that I've had for ~5 years has a dying screen. I haven't really been paying attention to the market in the same number of years, so I"m not sure what to go for and I would really appreciate your recommendations!
Some info:
My budget is definitely no more than 700 EUR (preferably under 500, but I'm willing to make concessions)
I'm expecting to buy refurbished to save money, so the device need not be from this generation
I prioritize:
a high quality panel with high refresh rate, could be nice with LTPO
Hardware that is at least as capable as the S10+
All-day battery life
Preferably flat screen
I don't really care about the camera, I'm sure most these days are serviceable for the few pictures I take.
I'm very interested in the Nothing phone 2, but it's just at the edge of my price range so I'm trying to see if I can find something that scratches the same itch, both in specs and form factor (but I'm sure that's too much to ask). Any advice would be appreciated!
I would recommend the fairphone 4 or 5.
I have the 4 and it is great: reparable with software updates (os etc) , easily replaced battery and sustainably sourced.
I agree. I have one too and I am very happy with it. I also think it does not break as easily as most other phones. I drop it all the time and it is still fine, even the screen.
