Hi guys, I'm going to buy a new smartphone because my old Galaxy Mini 2 has become really slow and laggy even for simplest things.
I need your suggestions about smartphones between 180-220€ (205-250$).
The only surely good smartphone I know with that price is Motorola Moto G LTE.
Now I would like to hear the suggestions of xda users because an important aspect for me is modding.
Thank you all :good:

if I had 250$ to buy a phone.. it would be a gently used nexus 5. no question about it.

It's a good idea but i I'd rather avoid used smartphones, what about 2GB ram Asus ZenFone 5?

ZenFone is a decent choice if you don't mind the ZenUI..
How about G3 everyone?

If your budget is < $300 and used phones are out of the question, then your choices are limited. Moto G LTE is probably your best bet, especially if you are into modding. However, I would suggest saving a little more for a OnePlus One.
You're the man!

The hell, why you put Honor 8 and Oneplus 3T with S7 Edge ? If you want performance and good gpu, i would say Oneplus 3T, if you want design, Honor 8. If you want to look rich but have no ideea how good are other smartphones that cost half the price of an S7 Edge, go get it. I would buy a Oneplus 3T too,but i'm not going to way 2 month until they deliver it and i'm not going to pay 500+ euros in other stores for a 64gb Oneplus 3T. Tomorrow i'm going to get the Honor 8,it's more than enough for me and i consider myself a person who really want something good from a smartphone. It's your choice.

Start was clear. But by the ending I'm confused. Hope the questioner has got his answer.
From my point of view,
1. To show off your money - Go for S7 Edge
2. To show off a good color get the good camera - Go for Honor 8
3. To get the good performance - Go for OP3T.
I have seen that OP3T lags during some of the games which is unexpected. Hope so OTA fixes it soon.
oneplus
If you want some good development, OP3T is the best choice. But if you are not for rooting and custom ROMs, you can decide that for yourself.

They should still refund if you return phone it might say in ebay policies
u should have a reason to return only ! otherwise they will not .
The OPO is getting old now, I've had my 3years worth and loved it despite the issues I've faced!
However it's time to upgrade (new job, more money )
I'm in the mix between ;
Pixel 1 XL - £400 (Really like this phone, although the age is putting me off SLIGHTLY due to not going to get many official updates)
Pixel 2 - £630 (Quite a bit expensive, will leave me quite skint but possibly worth it; I want this device the most)
LG G6 - £400ish? £500 with a floating LG speaker (I REALLY like this device, especially for the money but the skin and delay in updates will probably make me ill lol)
Oneplus 5 8GB ram - £450 (student discount) (obviously this looks like the no brainer but i KNOW the jelly effect will really get to me, in nearly every review of it on youtube i notice it when they scroll; no one can change my mind about this but I've added it to see if theres yet a fix for it? or is there going to be one? I havent seen anything about it?)
;
And these are the phones, can anybody steer me into the right way? I honestly cannot decide, and my mind hasnt been made so I'm not biased against any however I'm least keen about the OP5.

I wouldn't choose them sort of phones anyway mate due to the inconvenience such as; they'd be imported, wouldnt have good support if anything was to happen and the sites selling the xiaomis at least havent had the best reviews.
The phones i suggested i can buy in town without hesitation, even the Oneplus 5 due to being in the UK and o2 selling oneplus products
I just want something that works, is great all round and smooth. (and something i'm able to flaunt to ALL of my iPhone friends that claim Android is for 'tramps and emo geeks' hahah )

Well I was going to get the honor when it was just out as my dad asked if i wanted to get it off him and swap him for my opo with some money on top but the software is a big killer, possibly THEA worst android skin on a mainstream phone. The look, the feel and everything is clunky and pretty fairly disgusting.
I dont think theres any other phone on the market I'd have other than i've stated, I really like the Moto Z but I can't find it for sale in the UK (reasonably priced anyway), Also like Sony xperia phones but again, they're too expensive for what they are. The new HTC u11 is £600 so again, too expensive all considering.

I know the $749 model pricing was leaked, and the one above that, but a $699 price was just a rumor. Anyone have any other sources that may confirm or point to a $699 base model of the Pro, or anything else related to pricing? Everyone can post it here
Some rumors saying that the starting price for OP 7 will be $599, but not sure.

As per the benchmarks, Snapdragon is better than Exynos. The Samsung display is awesome, But now the Oneplus 7 pro display has been rated as A+.

OnePlus 7 Pro also has UFS 3.0 which the ill-fated Samsung Galaxy Fold would've had so now the OnePlus will be the first device released with this.

Yes, Samsung Galaxy Fold is a first generation foldable smartphone. we can't expect top notch specs on this. By the by as you said it is the only device which has UFS 3.0 till now.

Don't thinks so.
I had it for one week before get rid of it.
I can't handle those rediculous holes.
The position of power button is completely off.
Also lacking many features Oxygen will offer me.
Also a tone of bloatware as much one UI bring improvements Sammy needs to polished their UI and much less bloatware offers.
Navigation gesture compered to one oneplus offer is completely garbage.
Also I didn't like the yellowish white color tone of the screen.
No matter adjustable manual the white tone I couldn't find the ideal color for my eyes and taste preferences.
Note 9 white color tone of the screen is superior to those at s10 plus.

Yeah, I'll propably ask in a lot of places in xda
From your experience of being in the OnePlus family, is it worth it buying 8T in 2022? I can get it for like $522.98
Or any other recommendations? And is Oxygen OS good? I've heard a lot of bad reviews about it
Well the phone is worth buying..12 GB ram + 48 MP and a 4500mAh battery is an overkill
520$ doesn't seem like a great deal tbh, below 400 maybe is..
I dont feel like the phone is missing any features a 2022 phone should have. Camera is not that great (GCam can do some work) and apperently Android 12 is terrible (I am still on A11 because EU is delayed).
Idk what the Nord 2 costs for you, but if you can get it for 400$, go for that. I would say they are almost on the same level..
This is the last real Oneplus phone after this, all is Oppo phones ) I am still want to get this in 2022, most probably will get CN version and convert to Global.

For that amount i'll look to 9 or 9Pro (if you can find one with good discount).
