Upgrading from Huawei P Smart 2019, what's a good choice?

What advantages do different phones have over one another now?

When I bought the P Smart, it was a huge step up on my old Motorola Moto G.

Faster, bigger screen, more memory.

But since then I can't imagine having an even bigger screen, and I have so much unused memory now.

I know some folk drop 500+ on a new phone…… but what advantage does it have?

I'd also like a phone that has dual SIM capabilities?

Jebus, I really don't keep with with the latest technology.

Presumably e-sim is far easier to use.

I think the Galaxy A16 would be okay for my purposes, the A25 doesn't offer any substantial advantage over it if one is not using their phone for gaming?

Meant to mention, I use the audio jack on my current P Smart all the time (I keep losing bluetooth headphones).

Not sure what the setup is with any of the above mentioned devices when it comes to audio jacks?

Do any of these phones have DUAL SIM capability?

Definitely want that in my next phone.

I'll just have to get bluetooth headphones now, no audio jack. Don't know how I'll replace my awesome KZ ZSN pro headphones for some bluetooths.

Short list so far:

• Samsung Galaxy A25
• OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G
• Xaomi Redmi Note 14 pro
• Honor 200 Lite
• Google Pixel 7a

One thing that would be good would, the hotspot range and quality, from my Huawei P Smart 2019, curious would any modern phone be an upgrade on that feature?

On phones will dual SIM card slots (or eSIM and regular SIM), are they locked to one network?

Or is it possible to use a SIM from two different networks on the same phone when bought new?

Is iphone or android more recommended?

I've had android up until now, and I'm guessing most of the phones mentioned are android?

Is there any advantage to switching to iphone, and I'm guessing it's pricier?

But in any case if they're all unlocked to any network, that's an advantage.

If that's the case, I could buy any of the phones from any store, then use swap in my current SIM card an continue with that, no obligation to change to another network (even if I bought it from say, vodafone?)

According to this, the Xaomi Redmi doesn't support wifi?

That can't be right, can it?

Apparently there's an Honor 400 due to be released next month?

Might be worth holding out for that.

A lot of those prepay phones are vastly inferior to their billpay counter parts.

Only issue I have is the bill pay plans are inferior to my current PAYG plan (everything included plus international calls).
