Hi Welcome!

Which phone you have ?

Welcome to Android Central! To better help you, it would be important to know what your budget is, and what's important to you in a phone (e.g., camera, storage, screen size, gaming, etc.).

Welcome to Android Central! OMGOSH you are Australian AND you're living in Italy? Amazing! I am envious!

We are happy to help you with your phone needs - what features are important to you when it comes to purchasing a new phone? What is your budget - are you looking for a flagship-level, mid-range, or entry-level phone?

Thanks for all of the nice replies. I didn't get any notifications so I didn't know anyone had responded. I posted this info on another post, but have no idea where it went.

I have been reading reviews on some phones, but to be honest I feel more confused than I was when I started. I am looking for a phone below or around the €500 mark (cheaper is always good) with a good amount of storage (is 6G - 128 GB okay?), with a good camera, bis screen, preferably a headphone jack, NFC, decent battery, Android 10 (Q) or 9.0 Pie, battery capacity of 4OOOmAH, unlocked, AMOLED display and I like curved corners. To be honest, I am not 100% sure what all of that means, but I think that's what I want.

I have been looking at the Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro (though hard to find!) and the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro. Does anyone know which is the better phone, please?

I also saw on the Mi Italia site something called a POCO F2 Pro. As I don't really know what the hell I'm talking really open to any suggestions, even other brands.

THANK YOU!

If you subscribe to threads you should get notifications. Also, since I quoted you you should get an email notification.

I would need to look at your other thread to get some more ideas.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forums. The Pixel 3a XL would probably be a great phone for you. And a fantastic camera to boot.
