Hello everyone,
I currently own a Huawei P30 Pro, but it’s nearing the end of its lifespan. It was a great phone for its time, but it’s time for a change due to noticeable battery drain and the fact that it hasn’t been supported for some time now.
While looking for a new phone, I’ve set a budget of around 1,100–1,200 euros. After reading many reviews and opinions from other users, I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t know which phone would combine all the features I’m looking for without overpaying.
Based on my experience with my current phone, my requirements are:
- a large battery that can easily last a full day and then some (my average screen time is 4 hours)
- good performance for everyday use (I don’t play many games on my phone, but I do occasionally)
- a camera that’s at least as good as the one on the Huawei P30 Pro (I don’t take a million photos; mostly just simple snapshots of everyday life and some on trips)
- support for at least 4 years, preferably 5
- Decent speakers
- The operating system shouldn’t be cluttered with junk (I’m open-minded, but I’ve heard about—and seen with my own eyes—millions of ads in Xiaomi systems, which puts me off, because I’m not buying a phone just to have ads on it)
- Visually, I like the OnePlus models and the Oppo Find X; huge camera lenses that take up half the back aren’t aesthetically pleasing to me
- Screen size: 6.7–6.8 inches maximum
I was planning to buy a Find X9 Pro, but right now, getting the global/European version at a reasonable price is practically impossible, especially in Poland (the Czech company that used to offer good prices no longer ships to Poland). I’m even open to importing the phone from China, as long as it’s the global version.
