not really into high end smartphones as i don’t have a usecase for those. don’t need an above average camera, if any at all. currently i am using a motorola edge 20 as my daily workhorse and overall i am not unhappy with it. Just sometimes it seriously hangs and occasionally reboots. also probably sooner or later updates will cease, i would assume.
if i was to look for a replacement in the … let’s say 400 - 600 eur/usd price range … what kind of phone would make sense to purchase? i rarely use any apps other than a browser, really. no gaming intended.
I know there have been many time answered « pixel » but I think it’s the wrong choice for you : you said you don’t care about camera, and what is bothering you is the slow processor and reboot on your Motorola. Pixel have excellent camera and very average processor that overheat. Exynos something.
If you don’t mind the Chinese rom (which are considered inferior to stock android) I would go Chinese , they offer the best bang for the buck. Like a xiaomi 12 or 13.
If you want a good u.i maybe htc u23 pro.
I paid my iPhone 13 mini around 600e if you don’t mind iOS.
