  • Fairphone is a good recommendation, alongside being repairable and sustainable. If its not present in your region. Look into high end Motorola phones (low-end have bloat).

    IMO, Best would be a oneplus. You can remove any ads and bloatware with Shizuku, Canta. It will be familiar, reliable, and last a long time. Considering, your usage habits.

    (i’ve seen the horrors of redmi software and want to stay as far away from That as possible).

    Yeah, they start to lag within a year of use. All the redmi phones I have checked have lag issues. If you must buy a xiaomi skip the redmi. Don’t know about poco. But, anything not Mi should be avoided. Xiaomi charges a premium for its Mi series for a reason.






  • This is a tactic by oneplus and others. Basically, they force the phone to run at near max speeds when running benchmark apps. Mine used to clear all apps when Antutu was launched.

    If they want to check, they can change the package name and see if it does the same or its just popular benchmark apps.

    Plus, there can be other workloads like local image generation, running local LLM to see how it does for extended periods of time.



  • Do not buy a Motorola if you care about updates. The site writes that software updates policy can change at anytime and they do not promise anything. Get a samsung, pixel, oneplus if you want updates.

  • Just look at the Pixel phones, their SOC is about half as fast as top Snapdragon and Dimensity , and AFAIK nobody I have heard of is complaining about them being slow.

    Its not about speed. But, battery and heat where people complain the most about. Even Google’s return and complaints data showed people complained about their phones being bad with heat.

    Not exactly a phone I’m getting excited about. I would have preferred better display and a higher end Camera system, and then a slightly slower SOC.

    Oneplus had no option but to ship 8 Elite gen 5 since there was no other newer soc on the market and shipping an older soc would’ve meant being inferior to other phones like samsung and losing sales to others like Iqoo, xiaomi, realme, and others.

    Things like camera sensor are not something people can easily see. But, you can easily check the processor and see if its better and faster.
