The “Suggest Me New Mobile Phone” Thread

Here, I have found the durability test on both the phones (Motorola Edge 30 & Xiaomi 12 Pro). (Durability Test for Edge 30 Ultra seems not available yet, but presume both variants are almost same except there may be some additional features in Edge 30 ultra than the Edge 30).

I am still confused. Xiaomi 12 pro is nearing a year since launch and with the camera issue, I decided not to buy it. When I bought the OP8, it clicked to me. Price was right , hardware , camera and battery everything was perfect but now it's really difficult to chose.
Look at my browser history. I am searching anything and everything.

I will be honest, I liked the Vivo IQ00 9T but when I read GSMArena review they said Realme gt2 pro comes close and with the price difference of 12k I got confused.

BYW, is IQ00 available offline ?

@allhyundaicars Why not wait for Pixel 7 series? Flipkart already has a page mentioning its launch in India.

Just don't rely on one review - try others and see the difference in individual reviews.

Vivo phones are usually sold via offline shops as well. Check with the Vivo outlet in your area. Meantime, have seen below durability test:

From my experience Vivo brands are doing well - I have been using Vivo V20 Pro 5G since last 19 months and have no complaints so far (even it fallen once down to concrete surface from around 4ft height - nothing happened.

Suggest take your time to select/finalise a good/latest handset as per your preference.

Bought the Xiaomi 12 pro. I saw various reviews and it was a perfect package.

Good, your search for a new phone ends here and no doubt your decision to buy the Xiaomi 12 pro seems perfect. A descent phone indeed.

You have purchased it via Amazon and how much you had to pay after the discounts etc.?

Congrations!

Congrats!!!
If not for the Moto, I too would have gone with the 12 Pro. It is a lot of VFM at 45K (on Amazon)

I paid 51100 including Acko insurance(100rs) and will get 2500rs as cashback through amazon pay.
I was planning to buy it offline to get a better rate for my OP8. But I was getting insurance at just 100 rupees so bought it online.

What a Blunder the 12Gb ram variant is not PRIME fulfilled and i don't know when I will get the mobile.
Blue 8gb and 12 gb, purple 8gb and 12gb and black 8gb all are prime delivered with same day delivery. I assumed every variant is with prime delivery

 

[allhyundaicars]

I canceled the previous order and bought the 8Gb ram variant. I really didn't want a colorful phone this time so got the Black variant.

Buggy interface right from the start or do they want us to accept by not displaying anything at all?

120 Watts charger. This weighs more than the phone.

Simple, it just means they own your digital life from now on

BTW, wish you millions of happy hours staring at the phone

Hi guys,

I have been using Vivo V20 pro for the last 6 years. The phone is still working fine except have some scratches/cuts at the rear side and bottom corner (phone has fallen down a few times from shirt pocket while bending down).

Now, I am thinking of going for a new Android phone (latest models) and have shortlisted Samsung S23 and Vivo x100 so far.

My requirements are:

-Compact size (like Smasung S23)
-Good processor (latest snapdragon)
-At least 6GB RAM
-Dual SIM
-Brightness (prefer atleast 1200 Nits)
-Min 120Hz Refresh rate
-At least 5000Mah battery
-Metal frame (preferred)
-Gorilla Glass protection
-Fast/wireless charging
-Features like NFC, good camera etc

Since I am a Vivo phone user for last 5 years without any problem, I certainly prefer Vivo X100 but the screen size (6.78) makes me consider something else (I always keep the phone in my shirt pocket and with screen size 6.78 inches means almost 30% of the phone pops out of the pocket which I dislike)

Any comments/recommendations?
