Suggestions for phone?

[Andrew297]

Hello. I thought about going to android(not fully decided yet), and found a few options: Google Pixel 9 Pro (or even 8 Pro), Galaxy S24,  Reno 13 pro, oneplus nord 4, some honor devices(these are what I've found). I don't game on my phone, but i want it to stay smooth for years to come(well optimised) because I use my phone for 5 years or so. I also want good camera because I would like to be able to take amazing pictures right from my phone, good battery life, good screen,fluid interface(no lags/stutters and storage now... most of today phones have 256+ GB, but from what I know from these 3, only the s24 uses UFS 4.0 . Which of these would you recommend? Or any other suggestions? My current device is an iPhone XS.

I'd say the Pixel 9 Pro, or even the 9a if you don't care for a telephoto lens. It'll have the best photography of the bunch and several years of OS support. Battery life won't be stunning, but it should be good. I've used the 9a, it's an absolute battery champ; it just isn't as flexible.

 

If you stick with the iPhone, I can also vouch for the iPhone 16 Pro as a great camera phone. It's just expensive like any other flagship.
