Hello. I hope this is the right place to ask this question. Let me know if not.
I am buying replacements for both my wife's and mine. We don't replace our phones frequently but our current phones are pretty worn off now.
For my wife I'm considering the following phones:
REDMI 9A, BLU G50 5.5, BLU G50 MEGA.
They all have more or less the same specs and are in the same price range (~ $100).
Before you say "how dare you buy such cheap phones for your wife", let me tell you I have a very limited budget, and also my wife is not a "power" user. She just needs a durable phone with good signal reception, and she needs it for basic social networking (whatsapp mostly) and taking and watching basic photos and video. She's not a gamer nor needs ultra settings for her photos.
I know Xiaomi is a more respected brand than Blu, but the mentioned Blu models come with fingerprint sensor (not that she really needs it) and in theory have better specs. Also, I prefer the G50 5.5 over the MEGA, because I'm afraid she would find this one too big.
She currently has a Blu Dash C Music. Yes, you read that right. So virtually any phone will be a huge improvement.
Now, in my case I am a little more demanding. But still I have a limited budget so I need a mid range phone.
I have narrowed my options to:
POCO X3 NFC, REDMI NOTE 8 PRO, REDMI NOTE 10, REALME 6.
All these phones are more or less in the same price range (~ $220) and have all the basic stuff that I need. I don't need more than 64GB but I need a fast, durable phone with good signal reception, capable of taking good photos (not necessarily "professional") and basic gaming. I come from a Moto G5+.
I've been doing a lot of research but I could use some final advice. Additional suggestions for phones not mentioned here are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
