Advice on which phone to buy

[AgentL3r]

So all I really need is a snappy, quick phone. If I had to boil it down to a couple of specifications:

- High res screen

- High res camera (currently rocking a 13mp Moto G5), low light performance is key as I am usually awake during the night to take pictures with areas of bright light

- Apps open rapidly, mainly communication apps such as Discord, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter

That's really it. No mobile gaming or anything like that. Just need something fast with a high-quality screen, high-quality camera and good low light performance.

 

I'm not looking to spend more than about $380. Like I said, been rocking the Moto G5 for about a year now but it's battery life and overall performance has tanked.

I asked someone with a pocophone and they said the camera isn't that high quality, so probably won't go for that.

Screens a bit too small, currently looking for something that's got a large screen and minimal bezel/buttons

yeah, software is holding it back a bit. You can root it and it will be much better

I would root but my mobile only bank does not allow rooted phones to use their app.

That looks great but it's slightly out of the budget. I live in the UK so £300 is what I'm really looking to spend if that helps.

Check out the Nokia 7 Plus or the 8.1 (newer model, but availability is patchy apparently). Big screen, good camera, great battery and while it's not setting records it's a decent chip with fairly stock Android.

Also looks good, but don't really wanna go back to Nokia after the disastrous experience I had with their Lumia a few years back.

They're completely different phones. The Lumia wasn't a good line (Windows only I believe?). Nokia has gotten themselves back in gear imo.
