I am looking for a cheap android phone with better processing power, good camera and battery life.
Define cheap.
Define better.
Define good.Better… than what?
Than the previous one duh.
Samsung Galaxy S4.
I’m still happy with my Pixel 7 Pro.
I have a Pixel 8 Pro. My previous Pixel (a 4XL) barely lasted a day with low/moderate usage. The P8P ends each day around 50-60%, has a pretty good camera, and has good enough performance. I feel like the UI responsiveness has improved over time, but that’s probably my imagination.
The CMF phone 1 is a lot of phone for little money.
I’d recommend a refurbished pixel of the newest version you can afford and then put GrapheneOS on it. Moto G Power 5g has better battery but worse camera. the Galaxy S line is pretty good too, with incremental upgrades so you can compare specs against price
You can run Graphene on the Moto? I had thought Graphene was Pixel only.
Yeah sorry I originally had written that more clearly but ended up taking out a sentence without fixing the rest lol.
You’re right Graphene is Pixel only. Before I switched to a Pixel, I had a Moto G7 Power and put LineageOS on it, which worked mostly great for me (except I couldn’t get the phone app to recognize the built in microphone). LineageOS is also available for the Galaxy S line
I vote for GrapheneOS too for privacy reasons
What do you mean by cheap? What is your actual budget? I’m pretty happy with the Moto G Stylus but it’s $250 which I’d call midrange I guess. I have the 2023 model but the 2024 one is the same price and has a few improvements. The lower end Moto G models seem like good value too. Just make sure to run a debloater or otherwise delete/disable all the preinstalled crapware. You can also get an older model Pixel fairly affordably and run GrapheneOS on it.
