Hmmm. This is a picture I took with my infinix note 50 pro plus. 256gb, 12gb ram

The phone has 100x zoom camera like the samsung Galaxy S 25.

You can get the used for 320k to 350k

If you want phone with good camera 250k can't buy those phone you mentioned
come back after 1year, oh, i expect they dhoukd have upgrade a little over the years, so lets increase it to 2 years. Ur phone will mot remain the same after 2 years

My budget is 250k, I want to get a flagship phone to take good pictures for printing and scanning documents

I dont know which to buy between the Samsung S Series, Google Pixel pro or Iphone

Limitations
The Samsung Series are known for developing green lines, and couple with the fact that the screen change is expensive.

The Google Pixel have scarce part, expensive, and gets hot easily, with poor battery.

Iphone is expensive, screen too is expensive, and has poor battery, coupled with the fact that most are no longer receiving updates

Please for those who are experienced or have used any of the above, which is the lesser devil, because if I use all my 250k savings buy anyone, where I go see repair money from.

I will be in the comment session.

Thanks
In all thy getting...get samsung. Don't ask any question...just go Sammy

Personally the A06/7 have terrible picture quality
Are you saying illumination made this picture shared brighter
Re: Samsung S Series, Google Pixel Pro Or iPhone: Help Me Make The Right Choice by wizzprince(op): 1:19pm On May 29
Azazyel:
Do not buy that a06 if you don't want to regret in life. It is a low budget device not even mid-range
No use laugh kill me, I think SAMSUNG is leading the poll already
Re: Samsung S Series, Google Pixel Pro Or iPhone: Help Me Make The Right Choice by wizzprince(op): 1:22pm On May 29
LordReed:
Bro you can't get flagship phone for 250k unless it is used and probably 4 years out of date. Like someone adviced go for the A06 or if you don't mind used then find a used iPhone or S series Samsung in your budget range. I just sold my Samsung Note 10 for 150k so maybe you can find an iPhone XR or Samsung S 21 in that range.
Go and collect it and come sell to me, please who has a good phone like this for sale

Normally I’ve used both and I can never advise my enemy to buy Samsung.

You can make your choice is either you regret or learn.

Both are A rated phones but my bad experiences with Samsung made me ran away from them

I started using both phones same year 2013 . I washed my hands off from Samsung in 2024 just because of the screen issues .

So I’m talking from my own experience using both phones at the same periods not from online polls .

Peace ✌️

pixel for tech and savvy ke?!
thats a samsung feature. samsung is the all rounder. good battery, camera, multitasking. theres somethings that samsung can do that google pixel cannot do. but everything google can do, samsung does it. Iphone is limited. good camera and faster with overall better video quality. hence, tech savvy is one attribute you should put samsung in before any other phone
Iamdbull:
Dbull on this one!!

iPhone for extrovert that want status
Samsung for maturity and class
Google pixel if you are tech savvy and use phone for more than the usual.

I started using Samsung in 2013 that was S4 I followed and stopped at S24 why because screen no go break but it’ll just stop working and yet na screen issue . But my iPhone none has ever given me issue for a day .

Omo I Dey avoid anything Samsung phone but I’m a fan of their TV .

so far I’m yet to experience issue with Samsung tv for over 15 years of using it and it has high second hand value like iPhone that’s why bro .

But Sony is for soundbar which is giving me joy .

Re: Samsung S Series, Google Pixel Pro Or iPhone: Help Me Make The Right Choice by Lavishhh: 11:16am On May 30
For picture and good video, go for iPhone to avoid regret later
Re: Samsung S Series, Google Pixel Pro Or iPhone: Help Me Make The Right Choice by FBIBOT(m): 12:39pm On May 30
If you want customization and freedom to tweak... Just stick to android... But if u prefer the boxed restricted ecosystem go for iPhone...... You can get Redmi k40 pro (12gb/256gb) if u see the refurbished repacked it's around 160k to 180k UK used is around 120 - 140k.... Good camera, one of the best balanced snapdragon chipset (snapdragon 889 chipset) only downside is the 4500mah battery

Google pixel Uk used
Huawei mate 30 UK used
OPPO reno series UK used

Go to YouTube and do your research.... There are plenty of android device that you can get Uk used and enjoy premium feeling.....

Samsung Note/Ultra models have a real S Pen silo. You can write, draw, sign PDFs, or use it as a camera remote without charging. Pixel = no stylus support at all.

Plug a Samsung into a monitor/TV with a USB-C cable and you get a full desktop PC interface. Mouse, keyboard, windowed apps. Pixel only does basic screen mirroring - no true desktop mode.

Dual physical SIM + eSIM on more models; Pixel only does 1 physical + eSIM/eSIM

Samsung has way more customization out of the box - Good Lock modules, Edge panels, Secure Folder. Pixel keeps it "clean Android" instead, yoi cannot have a blank home screen on pixel, whereas u can have as many as you want on the sammy

200mega camera zoom?
Pixel heats faster whilst playing games
Both may be 5000mah battery, but pixel dies faster.

I never said they’re not great my point is when it comes to reliability, second hand value , screen durability. I’ve never had any issue with iPhone from 2013 till date unlike Samsung which it’s screen kept disappointing me from same 2013 till date. If you’re me which one will you be praising?
