Pixel 3A XL vs Honor V20 vs A70 ?

rizzee

Or other phone suggestions? 450 budget.

Interests:

Decent camera
Half decent processor
Usb C
Decent battery
Pie 9.0
Good UI(I'm used o Samsung and Huawei but willing to give stock a try)

Don't care about:

NFC
Wireless charging
3.5mm jack (use by headphones anyway)

Can get 3axl (when it's out in Vodafone soon) and V20 (adverts) for 450 and A70 for 50 euro cheaper ... I know Mi9 is another option, there's just something I don't like about it and I can't quite put the finger on it.

The V20 seems to hit a lot of the boxes ESP with the 980 Kiron chip, are there any postives the Pixel or A70 have against this?

I quite like the Samsung A70.
6.7" Amoled minimal bezel screen is a massive (!) selling point.
Camera looks decent.
CPU is decent enough upper tier mid ranger.
4500mAh battery.
Good for games such as PUBG and Fortnite (if you're into gaming).
Super fast charge better then the current 4G S10 (Same as 5G S10).
€399 selling price (Amazon.de)... should reduce over time!

The video reviews seem very positive and the monster screen doesn't look as big as it should be if you know what I mean?! Like it's not toooo big

If you wait some then you'll hopefully also have the option of the SD 855 Xiaomi Redmi flagship.
No notch minimal bezel with front facing pop-up camera.
Same back 3 cameras as Mi 9.
And a 4000mAh battery.
*above is so far rumoured not officially confirmed.

No interest in that either unforunately, I really hate pop up cameras on phones! Thanks for the suggestion though

mi 9 - 449 on amazon spain

battery not huge in terms of mah but gets 10 to 11 hours screen-on-time which beats most phones.

camera rated up with the best www.dxomark.com

Mentioned in first post I've no interest in the Mi9 unfortunately. Thanks

I'm contemplating a S9 plus as well at the moment.

With Samsung devices it's worth considering the age of the phone. They say they guarantee 3 years of OS updates and security updates but the older the device gets, the slower it gets. The S9 probably won't get Android Q til March next year and that'll likely be its last OS upgrade.

The Pixel 3A however is guaranteed OS and security updates for the next three years, as soon as they become available.

Samsung devices are great, unrivaled in terms of hardware, but imo not really worth getting if they're over a year old.

Really appreciate the suggestions and advice.

I've agreed with a seller in Adverts for a Mate 20 Pro (with the correct boe screen of course ) for 480 euro, collecting it this week.
