Gino76ph, 22 Jul 2023I can totally understand you my brother. I do find myself i... moreIt's what you want for the phone is important. For me i dont even look Samsung A 54 cause it dont have 3.5mm jack and S21 FE is not for me cause it's a large phone and also no 3.5mm jack. S22 probably have drop it's price to around 500 euro and it's in smaller size that i would care for and then dont much care for the part that the phone dont have 3.5mm jack.
Only good thing about Samsung is that it's updates on android is 4 of them and 5 years of security updates but then again if that would be my first priority then i still would go with Xiaomi phones with SnapDragon chip cause with that i can unlock the phone and install custom android on it that will have longer period of android updates and security updates.
Other then that A54 maybe have better camera then Poco F5 but then again i watched videos and it looks like Samsung just use contrast filtering on pictures that brightens up the colors like green pops up more and so on. It's all user preference on that part and i cant say one is better over other. I basically dont much use camera on a phone.
I mostly use phone camera in food shops to read the ingredients cause these are in so small text that i cant see them so i make a picture and zoom in as my hands are shaking too so i cant just zoom in to read the text.

Which one is the best deal for these prices? Please prioritize the choices if you can!
Poco f5 12g 256g for 370 usd
Poco x5 pro 8g 256g for 270 usd
A54 8g 128g for 270 usd
A34 8g 128g for 220 usd
Important factores for me: 1. Performance(i play sometimes but i'm not a pro gamer. smooth daily usage for about 3 years is more important for me) 2. Battery 3.camera
Thank you

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2023It's all downgrade on everything going from OnePlus 10... moreI can totally understand you my brother. I do find myself in this kind of situation every few months because my circumstances (and needs) keep changing.
I appreciate that it may be a downgrade but i hear you. Xiaomi and Poco phones keep getting better every year but i suppose you get what you pay for. The novelty runs out after (as you said) few months and because of the fact that updates are almost non-existent with Xiaomi, Redmi & Poco.
So, how about the Galaxy A54 and the older Galaxy S21 FE. Been watching comparison videos. But what do you think? Any thoughts & advice?

bucky927, 22 Jul 2023Only 3 years of security updates? No thanks.Security updates are overrated. Can you give me two solid examples of harm or prejudice which you have suffered due to a lack of a particular security patch?
Besides, Xiaomi has stated that in the case of a significant security threat, they are willing to update phones even after the guaranteed period of updates.

Went to the shop earlier to take a look at it, being nitpicky here, the phone feels cheap AF and that dot notch is huge. The display isn't that impressive either, comparing with Samsung A54. I guess that's the price to pay for killer chipset.

I have just purchased the 12/256Gb version of this phone in the UK for £341 which translates to 394 Euros or 438 US Dollars. For that price it is the bargain of the year. It is also the best phone I have ever owned.
