Phone Brands You Recommend

I like Samsung and Xiaomi products, would recommend either.
 
Xiaomi have a great price/features balance, you get a lot for your money.

Personally I love Sony phones and have used them for years and years, well first Sony, then Sony-Ericsson when that was a thing, and then plain old Sony again. Great for photos, good cameras and software in my opinion.

I'd say Samsung or One Plus for android. I would've recommended HTC's "One" lineup if they were still around but sadly they no longer produce phones.
 
Are those brands pretty good for playing music? I use my phone more for music than anything else lol.

I'd imagine any modern mid-range up phone has pretty good audio capabilities. Surely the thing that makes the difference there is the speakers or headphones that you are using.
 
i had Sony/Samsung/Xiaomi, and all of them had their pros/cons.

Sony has the best RAM and CPU, but the prize is not that great, so it might be a better chance to get the Samsung instead.

Xiaomi is pretty cheap but also has limits talking about camera and sound systems, honestly an old Samsung S7 takes better pictures and records better videos.
 
For me, it's between Samsung and Apple, to be honest. There are a few other brands that are good but none are as good as the big two. Samsung is probably the more affordable out of the two considering how many promotions and offers they have even on the new releases.

I think LG had a bit more going on, though a lot of times I just play music through my phone speaker.

I think that depends on where you are maybe. Where I live I could get an iPhone 13 for about £100 less than a Samsung S22 right now.
 
Maybe it’s just my cybersecurity instinct job instinct, but idk if I’d trust a Chinese phone for privacy. Though I guess you can’t say much when Google isn’t that great at it either…

I always count their trade-in offers so I guess that's why I always assume the Galaxy smartphones are cheap. They have a pretty good recycling programme as well and you don't even have to buy another Samsung to use it which is nice.

Removing the bloatware installed should solve that issue, right?
 
I used to be die-hard android, but I got an iPhone 12 as a special offer from my network and it is the best phone I have ever had by far.
 
Of course if you are not loving Android or ios then there are always mobile linux or Sailfish (if you are feeling brae)
 
Yesh, guessing a root wouldn't make a difference either.
If it’s just the OS, you might be fine by flashing a different version of Android on it, but if it’s built into the SOC, it’s better off in the trash.
