What's your old device? Are you only searching for new devices or okay with used devices?

As for recommendations with the current information you've provided, here's some of the devices that fulfill your current prioritised criteria (Fast Charging and Good Camera)

1. Xiaomi 12T (8GB+256GB) ~ RM930 available on Facebook Marketplace and Carousell
https://www.facebook.com/share/oNKwWVuHSnmk...mibextid=kL3p88
https://carousell.app.link/yH9GpjmoKKb
5000mAh battery + 120W fast wired charging + 108MP Samsung HM6 Camera with OIS, 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and fast flagship processor (TSMC 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8100)
Phone was Intially launched in 4 Oct 2022 with 2 Year Warranty, so at least all the second hand Xiaomi 12T will have warranty until 4 Oct 2024 (3 months left) to claim with Xiaomi Malaysia to replace batteries if needed due to higher battery drain.

2. Oppo Reno 10 Pro (12GB+256GB) ~ RM750 available on Facebook Marketplace and Carousell
https://www.facebook.com/share/Qec1i685P4pW...mibextid=kL3p88
4600mAh battery + 80W charging (charger possibly need to purchase separately if bought second hand) + 50MP main + 32MP 2x optical telephoto zoom

3. Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (8GB+256GB) ~ RM890 available on Facebook Marketplace and Carousell
https://www.facebook.com/share/wFjpJ5o1nBDC...mibextid=kL3p88
Warranty until 13 February 2025, 5100mAh battery + 67W charging, and 200MP Samsung HP3 camera (4x optical quality zoom)

Okay, then my best recommendation would be Xiaomi Poco X6 5G.

6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 5100mAh battery + 67W Turbo charging (44 mins to 100%), 64MP main camera with OIS

yeah, price is good for 256GB if you opt for shopee coins, but why not choose 10% or 12% direct discount? You have a method to use the 15% shopee coins cashback?

Claim the 15% coins cashback vouchers (up to 20,000 coins - equivalent to RM200 discount on next Shopee purchase) or 12% direct discount(up to RM120 instant discount)

Biggest con of Poco X6 is the processor, which GPU is surprisingly weaker than 3 years old Poco X3 Pro

Also slower ram than than Poco X3 Pro, LPDDR4X vs DDR5X

True, that's why I initially suggested a Xiaomi 12T used unit (with Dimensity 8100) with even original 120W and original box for under RM1000, haha (I understand some people not comfortable with the idea of used products)

But if brand new under RM1000, it's probably Poco X6. In comparison with Poco X3 Pro, Poco X6 has newer 1.5K resolution 120Hz AMOLED vs much older LCD tech on the X3 Pro, and Gorilla Glass Victus on Poco X6 with faster 67W charging on X6. Plus X6 got confirmed 3 years of OS updates + 4 years of security updates.

Request for recommendation

1. Brand. :- No preference

2. Budget. Preferably less than RM2200

3. Specs. No need to be super fast. As long as it's faster than the Note 10+ that it's replacing. 12gb ram with 256gb storage should be good enough. Don't game much on the phone. Mainly used to surf and watch Netflix. Also, use it as a travel camera.

4. What you need in the phone :-
a) At least 5 years of security updates (my current phone got hacked. not comfortable using it anymore)
b) Good camera with wide angle
c) Large and nice screen. Preferably 6.7" and above.

Vanilla Poco X6 already has 5G and also yes it has the 3 years OS updates + 4 years security updates policy, Pro has faster processor and memory speeds.

My best recommendations for brand new Android smartphones are

1. Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro 8GB+256GB RM1119 (after vouchers)
https://my.shp.ee/3wAXCVy
Flagship Dimensity 8300 processor (on TSMC 4nm process, comparable to A16 Bionic on iPhone 15), 5000mAh battery + 67W Turbo charging, LPDDR5X RAM+ UFS 4.0 storage (same UFS 4.0 speeds found on OnePlus 12 and Xiaomi 14 devices), 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, 64MP OIS main camera
And guaranteed 3 years of OS updates + 4 years of security updates

2. Infinix GT 20 Pro 12GB+256GB RM1067 (after vouchers)
https://my.shp.ee/Q562u79
Flagship Dimensity 8200 processor (on TSMC 4nm process, comparable to A16 Bionic on iPhone 15), 5000mAh battery + 45W charging, LPDDR5X RAM + UFS 3.1 (same UFS 3.1 found on OnePlus 10T, Poco F3, Xiaomi 12), 144Hz AMOLED display, 108MP OIS main camera
guaranteed 2 years of OS updates + 3 years of security updates

3. Vivo IQOO Z9 8GB+256GB RM1113 (after vouchers)
https://my.shp.ee/i9iuiRs
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor (on TSMC 4nm process, but more comparable to Snapdragon 778G performance, in exchange for better power efficiency), 6000mAh battery + 80W FlashCharge, LPDDR4X RAM + UFS 2.2 storage, 144Hz AMOLED display, 50MP OIS main camera
guaranteed 2 years of OS updates + 3 years of security updates

My top pick here is Xiaomi. All 3 phones in the list are all glowing recommendations, you won't go wrong with the 3 above, if you prefer the brand Infinix, go for Infinix; if you prefer iQOO, go for iQOO; if you prefer Xiaomi, go for Xiaomi.

Look for phone that has good camera, good battery. Also ease for eyes as e-books reader. don't play games, so do not border about gaming performance. Any recommendation? Currently is considering onePlus 12.

Looking for Used (preferred) or New smartphone - Budget 800 MAX

I currently have only 1 main phone, Google pixel 4a 4G, performance and camera great.
Unfortunately

1. has no VoLTE / VoWIFI support (no support these 2 protocol is absolute terrible)
1.5 3G already shut down so cant use that , and 2G is garbage. Other person on line when use garbage 2G is like HAH what u say???
2. the battery life is meh (already changed with genuine new battery).

I am deciding whether to buy a new / used main phone or buy a spare new / used main phone


If i am going the main phone route,
- i want it to have good camera, dont have to best but prefer it dont look like washed out painting
- performance as long as UI smooth and browse website smooth ok
- speaker must be stereo
- must have VoLTE + VoWifi Support
- screen must be AMOLED (dont care refresh rate)
- screen must bright because back then i use Pixel 3a XL 400 nits screen damn dark yo
- plastic build ok
- screen must be color accurate , basically dont have dull colour screen
- storage 64gb minimum , 6gb ram minimum

If i go spare phone route
- must have VoLTE + VoWIFI support
- stereo speaker
- screen doesent matter OLED or LCD
- Performance UI smooth ok

Bonus another option
- be patient and wait for what future holds...redmi note 14?

So my phone died. RIP. 😂 Repair is gonna cost me 200+ something since it fucked up the screen 🙃

I can only afford one of these three atm, thankfully there's a sale going on and I have a coupon for these 😂

- redmi note 13, 128gb. Rm514
- Tecno spark 20 pro 256gb
- Poco m6 pro 256gb 50mp main camera
- infinix hot 40 pro 256g

The regular variant for the m6 100mp main camera is only rm512 also but storage is only 128gb. Everything else is about 580.

I like the tecno and inifinix selfie flash gimmick and they look cute I think , the two Mi's have more famous brand but they aren't as cute altho m6 pro has image stabilization. Sigh so hard.
