Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a second hand phone (Budget around $400aud, ~ 1kMYR or ~$260usd)
My dream phone has:
- Dual Sim (preferably at least one esim)
- USB C with OTG (preferably at least usb3)
- 2 usbC ports would be extra nice to have (allow me to dream)
- 3.5mm headphone jack (preferably 24-bit/192kHz)
- microSDXC slot (preferably dedicated)
- if not dedicated then one where sticking the Sim chip to the SD card hack works
- decent custom rom and with it android 15 support!!
- at least 8GB RAM
- not a potato for a camera
- battery life to last bored geeks day
- at least a work day of music and some comics and some brain rot on the socials and when I get home I got 20% left
Nice to have would be:
- ok Selfie camera
- fully charged in a hour
- 5G
- wifi 6
- a decent GPS chip
Phones I'm currently kinda looking at:
- Sony Xperia 1 IV
- insufficient custom Rom support, 2 guys are working on a linage port
- Sony Xperia 1 iii / current favourite
- ok custom rom support, bit old, unsure about camera quality
- Poco x5 pro (5G)
- Samsung A72
I'm a big fan of OnePlus, had the 1 and 7 but hate the trend towards no headphone jack and no SDcard support and then not even a second USB port
I used LinageOS a while back and quite liked it ... On my last phone I used YAAP and loved it
Cheers for reading ... PLS drop your 2 cents below
Also an option:
Redmi Note 14 5G Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G
Cheers, Only the 4G one has an audio jack and card slot, not sure if I want to force my self to 4G
But thanks for increasing my list, the 4G one seems to also not be available around here
I'd love to know what people think of those, I bought the 2 on alibaba a long time ago and has been using xiaomi redmi note pros since then to great success, they're (the pro at least) cheap and powerful, the only backside seems to be the not so good camera (IDK it works for me).
But there are always stories about the chinese-chinese phones so I'm all ears.
I personally prefer the POCO variations of these, as they are more fleshed out. But nothing wrong with them. Just make sure you get the variant you want.
