- metal frame
- IP68 certificate
- top SoC (888, 870 or 865)
- OIS on main camera
- front fingerprint scanner
- good battery
- software without bugs, bloatware, spyware and ads
- stereo speakers
- headphone jack
- small frame (I don't want a 7" tablet in my pocket)
- wireless charging (optional)
- SD slot (optional)
8T - has no official IP rating (it has rubber gaskets), no SD/3.5
S20 FE - has no 3.5
Zenfone - no SD, small battery
So S20 FE would be the smartest choice, but I don't like Samsung UI... :(
I'll wait for Pixel 6 and S21 FE, maybe that will clear things out.

If you always value the headphone jack and compact size, go for the Zenfone 8. If you prefer stock UI, go for the 8T. Out of those three, my top choice would have been the Zenfone 8. But because Snapdragon 888 doesn't have good thermal management, I'd choose the S20 FE. I definitely lose the headphone jack, but Samsung DeX is a superb pocket PC experience at home. There is the built-in native Desktop Mode in the OnePlus, but it's barely usable since it's a barebone feature.

Anonymous, 01 Sep 2021Oh ok Be happy with your inferior and overpriced A52sStill better than any Chinese crap, especially when it comes to OS updates and security patches. The only Chinese phone that I care about is the OnePlus, that's it.

Anonymous, 01 Sep 2021The idea is to force costumers to subscribe to cloud storag... moretotally agree ... and ... no microxd means all of customer data exposed to the big brother, they can get all kind data the want ... and ... put all kind data to our devices without us knowing ... their promotion is 16 gb ram and 512 gb rom no microxd
no 3.5 mm
use bluetooth, its all digital broadcast, they can snoop hearing without us knowing
its all part of bigger picture ... worl wide data gathering ... much cheaper than training a human and deploy in community, customers buy the spy gadget, its our money, and they just sit tight collect data
no matter the operating system ... they are based on linux, all of them, and linux based on unix, and unix is controlled by x/open the international consortium
all gadgets must complies with standard governed by both local and international institute, CCITT, TUV, FCC, ITU, IEEE, they say, to bring maximum experience to protect customer needs for interoperability, which is true to certain point, and also true for the other side of coin, world-wide surveillance made easy
remember hollywood film starred Tom Cruise, Minority Report, department of pre-crime, they want to prevent crime before its happen, great, but ... they monitoring all human behavior, extend the behaviour to multiple posdibilities, and decide there might be crime, and the authorities capture that certain person ... while they are living their normal life not doing any crime ... just because based on behavioural analysis that the person might be doing crime in the near future
cant doing analysis like that when people removing microxd and using cable for phone

Why does Samsung blindly copy Apple... Especially since micro SD support has more or less been a stand out feature in an otherwise lacklustre annual flagship rollout - for the past 4 or 5 years... Good quality 4K and 8K video will eat into 256 GB with ease... I'm wondering why companies like Canon, Nikon and Sony include memory card slots in thier camera systems... Maybe a limited 256 GB internal storage is more than enough for everyone's needs... At this rate Samsung will end up like LG and exit the mobile phone business in a couple of years... Then again good riddance to a compay that always played "follow the leader"

In the end, you will not be saving more than $20.
