Hey folks! Thinking of buying a new phone. Any suggestions? (Preference for premium phones)
d
Go for top of the line One Plus.

Should I go for IPhone 12 Pro? Or wait for IPhone 13? (don't 🧵react this)

I usually find that going for one version lesser than the newest iPhone model usually gives the biggest bang for the buck. I currently have an XR for 2 years now which is pretty good and I think I can pull another year or two from it. My wife has the 11 and that has better photos due to the dual camera — but performance wise, I haven’t felt the need to upgrade yet.

I’d have suggested iPhone 12 Pro but if rumours are to be believed and if iPhone 13 is getting 120hz pro-motion, 60hz on 12 is a deal breaker for me, I’m moving off Android to iPhone 13 only if it gets 120hz (not to mention camera, timely software updates and that damn ecosystem synergy).

Btw OnePlus is now a glorified Oppo and will also run ColorOS, we have several threads on our Slack about why one shouldn’t get OnePlus any more.

Umm, I am leaning towards IPhone 13 as well. Maybe, I should just wait for it. Do you guys know any platforms where I could rent premium phones for a month or so?

Decision making 101: If you can wait, don't even ask the question right now. i.e. your decision to wait shouldn't depend on iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 13 — it doesn't make a difference in your waiting. If your current phone is in a bad shape, then make the decision now. About phones, my recommendation is to buy the best iPhone available currently. Can consider Pixel as a good alternative. Other phones are nowhere near these two.

wait for new iphone, get old iphone at a discount. my iphone 7 still works fine right now when I got it in 2017 for just 35k. I'm also planning to get the 12 when 13 comes out, possibly wait for diwali offers as well.

I am waiting for iPhone 13 and Pixel 6. They should be out in 30-60 days. When they are out, I will wait for 2 weeks to see their reviews, then buy if they live up to the hype. Hoping Pixel 6 is a success as I would love to stay in the Android ecosystem.

iPhone any day, especially if you own or are planning to own other apple products. The ecosystem works seamlessly! Also consider Apple care.
