New Android phone under 725$

[goravani]

I am looking to buying an Android phone (preferably new) to use as my secondary phone and have a budget of $600 USD. This is my max budget and i can't stretch it any longer. My primary requirement is excellent camera capability and also video capability. It also needs to have a good battery life (15+ hrs life), should not be very heavy and have minimum of 256 GB memory. I would prefer major brands like Samsung, google, Motorola, Sony, LG etc and also not averse to getting a refurbished phone as well. Please help me out with some suggestions.

You could look into a p7p you should be able to find a 256gb variant for around that price on Amazon.
One of the mods here has one and is happy with it.

How about Samsung Galaxy S23 or S24? I might be able to get a refurbished or mint condition one in this price.

I would second the Pixel 7 Pro. There are some pretty good deals on them right now and those deals will probably get better as we head into Black Friday.

Samsung is another good choice, but from personal experience, I would recommend you avoid Motorola (if you do consider them, make sure you check out the Lenovo Motorola Community Forums Here for user comments before buying).

Also, LG doesn't make phones anymore, so that's another brand to eliminate.
