I’ve made a spreadsheet with a bunch of phone options. Mostly Samsung, Pixel, but there’s a couple Motorola and One Plus. I’m most comfortable with Samsung Galaxy but I’m open to changing. I looked up the main considerations and it seems like Megapixels is pretty much the biggest factor but I want something that can zoom in and still get a decent focus.
I can’t bring myself to spend $800 on a phone, I think the most I’ve ever spent is $350 and it felt painful but I’m also tired of being disappointed in my camera quality so I’m willing to go a little higher. My point being that I’m not asking for the best camera on the market because I’m sure I can’t afford it. Even used S53s are being sold for like $700 lol. So I’m guessing something a couple years older. Please advise 🙏
This may incur some hate, but I’m recommending the Oneplus 11, I been using it since it released… Awesome battery life, 80W blazing fast charging, latest SD 8 Gen 2 processor, very respectable camera. I was a oneplus fan at the beginning, then I dumped them for a couple years because they got away from their roots… I came back to them for this phone and don’t regret it at all. It’s an excellent all-round phone… Currently $599 at Best Buy with activation for 256GB 12GB RAM , or $499 for 128 GB, 8 GB RAM EDIT : I have been getting monthly updates and for the past few months have been on the most recent security patch every month… And they have announced this phone will receive 4 OS updates and 5 years of security patch updates
