Customer: I have 400k budget am looking for a good camera phone to buy maybe iPhone or Samsung with also a good battery

REPLY: leave all those Samsung and iPhone and go for Redmi note 14pro , it has a good battery and it's camera 📸 matches with iPhone 11 series , iPhone x series and some of these Samsung too
With that budget you can only get iPhone and Samsung fairly used which can be risky sometimes, and might experience poor battery life and unnecessary overheating because it's an outdated phones that can't withstand day to day usage of 2025

Redmi note 14pro has everything better camera,fast charging feature (1 hour ), new features package 4g and 5g network available

NOTE: from iPhone 12 down to iPhone XR are all 4gb ram phones

Price range: 400k to 550k depending on the storage

ADVISE: if you're a lover of iPhone or Samsung no problem, but in my opinion I won't waste up to 400k buying an outdated fairly used phones in 2025

Your caption is saying something different from what the post is about. Consider rephrasing your caption.

The message you are trying to pass in the post is that, buying a new Redmi phone is better than buying a faulty or outdated Samsung phone or iPhone. It is true, just as buying a new Toyota or KIA is better than buying a Rolls Royce that is either push-and-start or without an engine. As the saying goes, a living dog is better than a dead lion.

But your caption is wrong. Buying a Samsung phone or an iPhone is not a waste of money as long as the phone is in a good condition. These two brands of phone have features and qualities that have remained unmatched for years. If you say that the noise (hyping of) about iPhone is too much, I will agree with you, but it does not mean that Redmi is better than an iPhone.

You guys are always quick to use camera in your comparison of phones but there is a camera secret you people don't know. Comparing the cameras by snapping or videoing the same object at the same distance under the same lighting condition could fool you into thinking that the phones are the same. The difference plays out in complex situations. For example, the day you will have the need to pixelate an image is the day you will understand that all these phones you use to challenge iPhone and Samsung are actually inferior to iPhone and Samsung.

The last (the last but not the only) Samsung phone I have used is Samsung A8 (water resistant). When the phone got bad, I bought Vivo y72 5G. Everybody was praising the Vivo camera and I was even tempted to believe this claim that other phones can match iPhone and Samsung in terms of camera quality. But something happened one day. A concert was going on and I needed to zoom in the stage from where I was, the image quality faded as I zoomed in. That was the day I realised that Samsung and iPhone are the masters. Also, the Samsung A8 could shoot video in 4:5 aspect ratio but the Vivo can't do it. Only still images support 4:5 aspect ratio on the Vivo.

Believe it or not, Samsung and iPhone, especially Samsung, are living in future in terms of creativity and innovation in the tech world.

The day I decided to give up on Android phones was the day I found myself in an auditorium, needing to record a video. Despite the hype around my Android phone, it simply couldn't handle the task. Fortunately, the person sitting next to me had an iPhone X, so I quickly borrowed it to capture the scene I wanted. Later, I transferred the video to my phone.

Sir when you say android phone, please be specific as tecno, infinix, itel, umidigi, mhorse and so many others also run on the same OS.
Guess you haven't used any of the Samsung S-series 20 upwards, Pixel- the purest android, Huawei flagships, Sony 1-v upwards, vivo X200 pro ....... and top flagship devices before you begin to yap about android.

Talking about video, does your so called device support HDR 10+ ?

Samsung is Android and yet reliable. I used my Samsung A8 to capture the same concert from the same stand point for 2 or 3 years before I got the Vivo. The concert happens in my school every year and I always maintained the corner as my viewpoint. So, do not give up on Android, give up on inferior devices that run on Android.

Samsung might be android but their system architecture is different, it uses a different UI attributable to Samsung only, that other cheap inferior androids out there can't adopt. So there's difference

Omo ur write too long oooo...but just know this, something is popular doesn't make it the best... iPhone and Samsung are the giant in the phone world doesn't mean others are trash, iPhone and Samsung feel threatened by Google Pixel and xaomi and both are currently suing xaomi 😁

Kung lao got stray bullets

I will even choose Spark 40 Pro over every Redmi device

Other brands like TECNO are also trying
