Best android value?

[RyRy89]

Hello mates recently purchased a p40 and not overly impressed with it considering sending it back. Mainly use my phone for youtube and just general whatsapp browsing etc. What would you guys recommend as a alternative better than the p40?. I considered the pixel 5 but unsure any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

ummmmm your price did not come out.

if anything maybe look into the note 10+. i have that now and you can't beat watching youtube videos on the big screen. its probably going for cheap right now.

If it fits your requirements then a Pixel 4a is very good value (which is the actual title of the thread).

The problem is that we don't know what it was about the P40 that didn't impress you, so it's hard to know what you would consider better? "Better" and "best" are subjective, they depend on what someone needs, likes and wants from a phone, so it's hard to advise without knowing your preferences (and constraints: I think you said your pricing was 40 somethings per month on a contract, but the currency unit was not readable).

To be honest it was the lack of apps and the alternatives being more buggy aslong as the phone has good battery life for youtube/spotify takes decent pictures i will be happy 😁. Thanks for the help aswell bud

Sometimes the forum software doesn't render these correctly.

I personally prefer unlocked Chinese phones, had an Honor 8 that was a really nice phone for the money, currently using a OnePlus 7 that was an absolute steal considering the specs, although when OnePlus became mainstream in the states the price shot way up. You probably could find a good deal on a Xiaomi as well.

This is not the thread for it now as the OP is looking for a contract phone somewhere on this planet but I stole two Xiaomi Amoled phones over the last six weeks in amazing one day / one model manufacturer sales. An Amoled Mi 10 Lite 5G with an SD765G for a ridiculous £194 UK, and then a Poco F2 Pro with an SD865 8/256 UFS 3.1 for an insane £299.

I agree with @tron there's a whole lot of great deals out there on Xiaomi / Redmi / Mi / Poco, Realme, Oppo, OnePlus 8T etc. Even Motorola are getting better.

I'm waiting for a new 5G sim to arrive with 160gb for £20 / m (over 24 months but sod it) on a much faster 4G carrier (EE) than I was on.

I currently have 4 great phones {3 new) but the medication should kick in soon

BTW : the Xiaomi software with MIUI 12 is very polished and impressive for the international market with no Chinglish, great extra features, virtually zero bloatware and no ads (don't initiate some copycat apps and turn off some settings); plus they are due Android 11 with the November patch. Now a Samsung rival imv.
