Android Central Question

Hello,

After my current phone Samsung A71 has experienced water/alcohol damage within a couple of months it started to be more and more unusable.

(Note: Warranty won't cover anything.)

I've decided to start looking for a new device, before this one is completely unusable.

Before this phone I had a Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus + with the increasing sales of Xiaomi phones I started looking from there.

The two Xiaomi phones that caught my eye are:

Mi 11 Lite 5G & Poco F3

After reading more into the phones, MIUI and remembering my own experience I am being turned off from purchasing a Xiaomi phone due to people experiencing bugs with MIUI. I do not want to install custom ROMs also.

This is why I am asking for help to look for another alternative, gain more information and maybe reconsider listed or other Xiaomi phones.

I plan to use the phone to watch YouTube, browse Reddit & the Internet and other apps. I don't do much gaming on the phone, besides occasional casual mobile games that shouldn't really require a lot. Having an amazing camera doesn't really mater, but it is still good to have a camera that would take good photos from time to time. Since I use the phone a lot it would be nice if it lasted the whole day. Furthermore I want the phone to be **reliable** and not complicated to use.

Also if you are recommending a phone you use please share your positive and negative experience with it as well.

Thank you!

Mi 11 Lite 5G is better than Poco F3 in all aspects because 11 Lite has Gorilla Glass 6 and Snapdragon 780G which gives a good battery life. My friend bought this phone and it looks so cool with the lightest weight which feels like feather.
