My only issue is the lack of telephoto lens. Otherwise a perfect phone.

    W, 02 Sep 2022Thanks for the recommendations Sony has stopped selling ph... moreyeah the a52s is a really good phone! i would consider the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
    too it has the same size of the a52s but also considerable lighter with even a bit battery life! so if the used a52s is cheaper go for it else get the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE i think!

    the iphone 13 is not bad either but it would certainly at least cost twice as much
    maybe wait till the iPhone 14 comes out i think there will be more people considering selling their 13
    waiting is never a bad strategy in the tech field :)

        Look really good. Side fingerprint > under display. Hopefully they keep the smaller form factor in the 10 and even out the bezels as well as remove the chrome ring around the punch hole

          Sony has stopped selling phones in india.
          I don't like the 6a's feel and looks, personal opinion.
          Also already i try turning off most access to google as it interfares in lots of daily tasks, pixel would make that even worse.

          Does 13mini have a bad battery life? I was looking at it as the only option for now.
          I have high hopes from zenfone 10 as well
          S22 is out, can wait for a S23 but need a beater phone for now.
          Therefore I'm looking at used markets as well.

          I'm getting a friend's a52s 5g for around 250$ which is 6 months old and it looks like a good beater phone. Opinions?
          Am also considering used 13 series but getting good prices nowadays are really tough.

          Would appreciate suggestions on mid range ruggid phones in used markets till an appreciable flagship comes. Getting a value for money phone is really tough and all these new phones are carrying increasing fat margins everyday.

          I like using the gadgets as long as they can last, even with tweaks and mods.

                  Sony Xperia 10 IV
                  Google Pixel 6a
                  iphone 13 has the same size as this one

                  the S22's battery life is even worse than the Zenfone 8
                  13 mini is too small with even worse battery life

                  if u can wait i would wait till the new snapdragon 8 gen 2 phones come out!

Case options seem limited for this phone so far, but it's not a deal breaker of course

I've attached a magnetic ring holder to the case that's why mine wobbles on the table. Without the stick-on clip the case has a bit of wobble but not bad. Soory for the misguidance.

                          Zenfone 9 arrived today. I used the data transfer app and it's all go. The only thing that disappointed me was that it now doesn't have the FM radio anymore and I can't sort the apps in alphabetical order. The apps are all jumbled up, hard to find one in particular. The phone is very slick and data transfer is fully successful.

                            Veiran, 28 Aug 2022Except they did release the 8 in the USA (check their websi... moreYes that's true, eventually it appeared in the US, but afaik, it was never a "US variant" like they are proposing for zen 9.

Have you looked at the huge battery in the Blackview BL8800pro ? That phone is over 17mm thick.

                                After watching the review video, the pros and cons for me personally are:

                                pros: compact flagship phone, analog audio output (via a 3.5mm jack, but via USB-C would've been fine with me too), 16GB RAM option, decent battery size for a compact phone.

                                cons: no expansion memory card slot

                                I personally would have preferred an expansion memory card slot if getting the space for it meant sacrificing the 3.5mm audio jack and rerouting the analog audio output via the USB-C port. There are cheap analog USB-C earphones on ebay which work great.

                                  I came here because the phone is compact, and I like flagship compact phones which there are not many to choose from. I hope someone will develop LineageOS to run on it without Google services though like the Zenfone8.
