Just wait a couple of months. The tastiest mid-rangers are coming out soon. I can't wait to upgrade my Nokia 8, but I'm sure as hell ain't gonna buy another flagship device.What i'm looking for in a phone nowdays is nice big same sizeish screen as my current one, good battery life, good performance.
Anything good in the mid range offerings that i should know about?
Basically my pick list consists of:
1) OnePlus Nord - by far the best price-to-spec ratio, but it's not available in all regions.
2) Pixel 4a is probably the most reasonable #2 pick. If Nord ain't getting to Ukraine by the end of December, I'm getting a Pixel for sure.
3) Just a backup option - Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, or alternatively - Poco X3. I'm still hesitant on X3 after seen some reviews (good spec, but too much adware and bloatware), but Redmi Note 9 Pro looks pretty good : basically the cheapest option that gets the job done. It has by far the best battery life (excluding chinese 20Ah powerbrick phones), includes a semi-decent macro camera(need it for work), but otherwise it's pretty mundane mainstream device. I think it costs around $220 in my area.
