I'm trying to figure out which phone to buy to replace my old Samsung Galaxy A3 with. Android 8, woefully lacking in storage space, and falling apart. Yeah, definitely needs replacing.

So I've been looking around. Glanced at the S20 FE and A33, both suggested by people I know. Then glanced over at the A53, even debated A52, but either they're too pricy or there's something not quite right in the reviews I've read that makes me hesistant to throw a lot of money at it.

I am still of the opinion that phones shouldn't be expensive. 200-ish euro should be fine enough.

I'm so tempted to just go eff it and buy an A13 4G instead. 175 euro, seems still sane, and the phone is in every aspect an improvement on my old A3 that I've managed to use for almost 5 years now. :P

I really will need to make a decision by tomorrow when it's Cyber Frigging Monday. I am hugely disappointed at the 'discounts' given so far around here.

@trinsec You guys can't get Pixel phones in the Netherlands, can you?

@obi We can, but they don't have an MicroSD card slot, so that's a dealbreaker for me.

The #1 reason for me to upgrade is storage space shortage. I highly doubt that 128GB will be enough.

Ok, it's the #2 reason, as #1 is the Android version.

@trinsec Oh wow. I have had the 4a for over 3 years and have 30GB out of 128GB used. But I have server under my desk that all my data transfers to, so I guess thats why haha. Never thought about storage issues. OnePlus Nord or Samsung A23?

@obi There's an A23? I'll have to check out that one then.

@obi I just checked the specs and the price of the A23 here. At the current price (240 euro) I might as well go A33 (266).
I'm surprised that it got a Snapdragon CPU though. Weird thing also is that I don't seem to find any user experience on it on my local tech forum.

@trinsec Hmmmm. Seems like a solid device. But if you might as well go for that, perhaps you might as well go A52???
