This is really a coin flip between android & iOS as you don't have any special needs

 

[BRUT]

ok. I have quite the coin collection. Which coin do you recommend I use?
I do use Nova Launcher, PowerAMP, Wallpaper engine....

I highly recommend iPhone 13 Mini or iPhone 13. Decent battery for mild usage. Perfect screen size. iPhone 14 doesn’t bring much extra to the table. Battery backup is amazing specially in the iPhone 13 series.

Galaxy S21 FE. Easy recc. Spending any more is rapidly diminishing returns.

I think it would be easier to first choose the operating system and then others could recommend the models.

Pixel 6a on the upcoming sale for 28K

Is the Pixel 6a worth it at 27.7K? Or are there any better phones at that price?

 

[BRUT]

Yeah, sorry. Forgot to mention I'm no interested in the pixel 6. Doesn't it lag or something?

Too big.

I don’t think of any phone which provides more value compared to 6A at 27.7k. Best portrait shots ever, amazing night photography, no bloat and decent battery. Haptic feedback on Pixels are iPhones level nice.

I had 4a and it was one of the best phone i’ve ever owned.

Would suggest try switching to iOS
Apple phones have more longetivity Down the line compared to android phone

There are people who still use 5-6 years old iPhones and are quite comfortable with their handsets
