I’ve made a spreadsheet with a bunch of phone options. Mostly Samsung, Pixel, but there’s a couple Motorola and One Plus. I’m most comfortable with Samsung Galaxy but I’m open to changing. I looked up the main considerations and it seems like Megapixels is pretty much the biggest factor but I want something that can zoom in and still get a decent focus.
I can’t bring myself to spend $800 on a phone, I think the most I’ve ever spent is $350 and it felt painful but I’m also tired of being disappointed in my camera quality so I’m willing to go a little higher. My point being that I’m not asking for the best camera on the market because I’m sure I can’t afford it. Even used S53s are being sold for like $700 lol. So I’m guessing something a couple years older. Please advise 🙏
I have had an s20 FE for about 3 years no with no issues. The non-beveled screen is a must imo. I had the s-series phones with beveled edges and cracked every screen. The s20 fe is still as fast as day one and I love it. I will probably get another when this one takes a shit. The camera is good enough for me. I’m no photographer, but the images look great.
Edit**- just looked it up. 3 cameras at 12mp, 12mp, and 8mp… honestly don’t know what that means but I hope someone will.
Here is a photo I took a couple days ago as reference. (I hope it hasn’t been compressed at all)
It definitely takes good enough photos in the day, but it’s quite average when it gets a little darker. And for some reason, it gets blurry with any kind of movement. That I noticed day 1. If someone moved their hand slowly in front of a camera, it produces a blurry image. That doesn’t happen even in my old budget phone lol. But I’m very happy with it otherwise, and have taken some photos that I love as well.
Ya I’m not well versed with the camera aspect. Honestly when I got it I was just looking for a galaxy phone without a beveled edge. That was my main reason for getting it.
And it’s perfect for that. I don’t regret buying it one bit. I’m just sad that I don’t know what to do about my next phone. The FE series is uncertain and anyway I can’t afford a flagship when it’s new.
