What smartphone should I get with £800?

Closed
Myklex

Hello everyone, in a few days I'm planning to get a new smartphone, I'm switching from my old Samsung Galaxy S8. So, my question for you guys is: "What phone should I get?!". If you can come with some "pros" or "cons" it will be much better. I never tried an iOS phone btw, so Android will be an easy accommodation for me, but I would like to try something new, never say never, right? :). Leave your opinion in the comments!

Thanks!

I buy the absolute cheapest I can live with. I don't use my phone for much. I just need to send texts and make calls once in a while. Super lite browsing. I have the Huawei Honor X8 or something like that. It cost me around 230 GBP and I was already thinking it's too expensive!

Banking you don't lose, magisk hide lets you still use it. Unsure on the HD netflix though. Don't think netflix on your phone makes sense anyway.

No need to get a flagship really in 2022. Just get a second hand mobile with snapdragon 700+, 8GB ram+, 120 Hz refresh rate, 108 megapixel cam for like 300-400$

It's exactly my Redmi Note 10 Pro: Snapdragon 732G, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, 120 Hz refresh rate, 108 Mpix cam, Android 12. One thing - I bought it brand new (and was cheaper than 250 €).

Question:

Can anyone suggest a good music player app that allows for WMA playback on Android phones? Preferably one that doesn't collect too much information about my phone?

I went from S8 to S20FE. Samsung. VERY happy with it, and the battery life is phenomenal.

Cost was ~$600 Canadian (on sale).
