Hey everyone,
So, for a bit of context I’ve used every smartphone I’ve owned until it was dead in the sense that the hardware wasn’t repairable anymore. The realme6 pro I’m using at the moment is currently on life support so it’s time to look for a replacement.
Here’s some criteria for what it’s important to me:
I don’t need a top of the line flagship, I’m looking for a midrange phone that’s available in Canada. With that in mind, I had some ideas already:
With all that said, any other recommendations are very welcome. Looking forward to reading your thoughts :)

After checking out some reviews on this one in particular I think it’s a pretty nice value. Good to know there’s still affordable phones out there. I do have some extra budget lying around so I think I’ll look into something a bit fancier this time.
Then samsung galaxy a35.
Samsung phones nowadays are one of the best software support on every budget, starting with the A15 4G (~150€) with 5 years to the flagship, S24 ultra with 7 years.
Do beware, Samsung typically has a decent amount of bloat and not so privacy respecting services.
