Starter, 07 Jun 2023I need a new phone because of screen cracks, but hate to gi... moreYou can replace the screens pretty easily if you wanted to keep using it, all you need is a plastic card, glue, and a small philips screwdriver. I usually order from mobilesentrix or esource. I recommend replacing the battery with the screen but if not just put some IPA under the battery.

If not then, depending on your usage I have a few different recommendations.

If camera is most important check out Xiaomi 13 Ultra, best camera I've seen in a phone.

If battery life and flashlight is important then check out Unihertz Tank 1, 22000mAh battery and giant flashlight. It is big and heavy though.

For kind of smaller phones the ASUS Zenphone 9 and iPhone 13 Mini are smaller and you can kind of use them one hand.

Samsung has those folding phones if you need a really big screen. Would avoid the Z Flip 4 though, the hinges on that particular one are really weak from what I've seen in my shop. I've not seen models 1, 2, or 5 yet, and no Z Fold. Motorola Razr 41 is also a good folding one.

Ulefone have a bunch of phones with niche features like thermal camera, big speakers, etc. Most have really big batteries. The lower end models are pretty slow though. I've seen a few of these in person actually and the Power Armor 18T/18/19/19T are good, and the Power Armour 21, and the Power Armour 13. The thermal cameras are real thermal cameras but thermal resolution is low and they have slow framerate on those thermal cameras. They also don't seem to have OIS on the main cameras so have a steady hand. Don't buy for the main cameras.

I don't know much about gaming phones, nobody asks me about them and I don't see any in my shop in Canada.

I personally use this S8, wouldn't even trade it for S23 Ultra.

                Where to start with the S8..? It's one of the best looking Samsung devices ever and will always be. The S8 in 2023 is still usable, even though it's on Android 9 everything can be done on this phone. The cameras (from usage) contrast lots of red for no reason. If you want to buy this phone, go for it (unless you're buying a iPhone X)! Get the Snapdragon model though, be careful for burn-in, get a screen protecter and a OtterBox since it's far from durable. This was getting near the end of Samsung Experience (r.i.p) because OneUI was coming around! Great. OneUI 1.0 (Android 9) killed this phone because it's bland. If Samsung gave it all the way up to OneUI 3.1 (Android 11) I'd recommened it.

                  also yes exynos version
                  and graphics to the lowest
                  but sometinmes play at medium
                  it is not good anyways ( not the phone ) when U play at medium since the phone will be hot to the point it will fry eggs
                  plus 10-15 min battery life

                    Miles001, 26 Jun 2023Do you get stable 60fps when playing fortnite on high graph... moreyes when all apps are closed, performance mode is set to max ( gaming or high performance mode ) and at low settings ( everything set to low ) and performance mode.
                    thus my S8 battery is dreadfully horrible that it lasts only 20-30 minutes while gaming so I keep a powerbank with me always.
                    my S8 is purchased since 6.5 years. I replaced it since maybe a week with a galaxy S23 because of the battery issue the fact even on whatsapp only 1 hour, anyways now I use my S8 only as an iPod and as a gaming phone

                      I believe it's still a manageable device in 2023,if you're to use it for gaming,I'd low graphics and high framerates, most importantly get a phone cooling device, it'll help a lot...that's what I still use though,the camera still takes decent photos,the battery does it best, like I said still manageable in 2023 after all it's a flagship

                        This phone when it was revealed, i thought that Samsung couldn't get better than this, this was peak Samsung, idk why they cant reuse this design in the A14, looks so timeless to me, even the specs would beat any budget phone today. (this looks way better than a14 in everyway, the notch in a14 looks ugly compared to this) the nostalgia hits hard in this and wish it got andriod 11 and Samsung update policy wasn't bad back then. you can see the hearts start to decrease because people didn't care anymore after this and the iPhone X.

                          Miles001, 26 Jun 2023Do you get stable 60fps when playing fortnite on high graph... moreNo you wont get 60fps, u will barely hit 30 with llow settings.

                            SamsungLove, 16 Jun 2023very good ultra fast phone speaking of a 6 year old phone. ... moreDo you get stable 60fps when playing fortnite on high graphics?.
                            Thus is the exynos version right?.

                              very good ultra fast phone speaking of a 6 year old phone. faster than my ( budget ) galaxy A53, but its battery drains instantly and barely lasts 30 minutes when ( playing fortnite at medium settings ).
                              I am now using with it android 12 ( costum rom ) I recommend U do the same but watch videos online first.
                              note that costum rom only works on exynos

                                  I need a new phone because of screen cracks, but hate to give this one up. Bought in fall 2017 and has worked great. Battery still lasts more that 24 hours - I'm not a heavy user - no gaming. I just use it for email, text, photos and music. GPS does draw the battery down a bit when I have to use it. Any suggestions for a replacement would be appreciated.

                                    I'm using this phone since I lost my Pixel 7 Pro, and a friend borrowed me this one until I buy my next device. I'm really surprised with it's performance. I removed all the bloatware, use the web version of IG as most "demanding" service, unable the GPS (location) and only activating it when needed, and desactivating push email notifications, which I do always, the battery life last me the whole day, with the saving mode active. I mean, It's old as fuck, and my friend bought it also 2nd hand a few years ago. After 2 weeks with it, I hold on my hands my friends iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I was really shock since it feld a real brick, and I am a told person with big hands. I really loved having such a small device on my hands, I do not perceive anything on my pocket, it is just great. Obviously, not a long term thing, but after this experience, I am reconsidering why would I buy such a big phones again. Only if Zenphone 9 had better cameras...

                                      I still use this Samsung S8 on 2023 which i bought it for $43 second-hand, it only has small cracks and a little bit of burn innit, but it works perfectly as i expected. Despite the fact that old phones tend to drain because of it’s years of usage, it’s still pretty good for normal use.

                                      Buying old second-hand flagship phones are literally better than buying a tall, midrange phone with a same price as second-hand that doesn’t even run smoothly, or it can even fit on your pocket ;-; LOL

                                      I use an iPhone 8, S8 & S7 on 2023 (becoz im a POOR filipinian) and they are good at everything (Powerbanks needed), Powerbanks cost $5 here as underrated brand, so it’s quite handy for oldie phones.
