Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please

SurpriZe@lemm.ee to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 76 points –

I need one for general purposes only, NOT for gaming, so I don't really care about gaming-related features.

I'm going to buy it in Asia, as that's where I live (Vietnam specifically), and would appreciate any advice. 🙂

Depends on how you define good budget.

To me, the Samsung galaxy a phones and the pixel a phones are good. They strike the balance between value and having an actually usable phone.

Any Pixel + graphene os

Poco f5 ,if you dont like miui flash a custom rom

Moto edge 30/20 pros

How do you get graphene installed, and why is it good?

Non-profit, open source and extremely privacy consious. You'll need a rooted Pixel device and you can download/learn about the ROM here: https://grapheneos.org/

I liked GrapheneOS but I didn't like the pixel hardware personally

Definitely not more than 200usd. Thanks for the advice!

I would echo what OP said there, I had to get a temporary replacement phone while my main one was getting a screen repair, and I was amazed at how good a Galaxy A was for the price. Think it was about £120 or so, and it's a great phone.
