Decision support: which smartphone?

Hello to all technology fans out there.

I need your help.

I would like to get a new smartphone, currently I have the Samsung J3 2018.

To be honest, I'm pretty overwhelmed with the choices the market has to offer: -D

That's why I'd like to explain in more detail in the following lines what I'm looking for and which functions are particularly important. Perhaps you can give me suggestions on the basis of which smartphone meets my requirements.

Now to my person & my claims:

I'm a 19 year old girl and the smartphone is an important part of my everyday life.

I basically use it to make phone calls and to stay in touch with friends (WhatsApp), but YouTube and Instagram are also used - that's why my new smartphone should also have a good screen quality, maybe a larger model, but not too big! It should still lie comfortably in the hand and fit into your pocket without any problems.

The most important function for me is the camera. I'm looking for a smartphone with a camera so good that it almost replaces a 'normal' camera. I'm, so to speak, enthusiastic about photography and would like to take high quality photos.

Now to the most important question: how much am I willing to pay?

I would say that I'm looking for something that is around 700 euro. I'm aware that my requirements come at a high price; But that's exactly why I need your help: I would like a smartphone with a good screen resolution and battery life and with the highest quality camera possible at a reasonable price - not to say cheap: -D

I did some research a long time ago and came across the Huawei P30, which I immediately accepted, only now, of course, time has passed and there are newer models.

The Huawei P40 Pro currently also appeals to me (since you can still install WhatsApp & Instagram) and the new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra would be great, unfortunately it is way too expensive for me…

So, you can see, it will probably be an Android, although I wouldn't be averse to an Apple either…

I hope this little insight could give you enough information.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm really excited to read your messages:-)

By the way, I also like to read comparisons or pros and cons lists, so give me what you have to offer.

Definitely not a Chinese one!

Which one would you recommend instead?

Samsung from Korea

Why not?

🤣🤣🤣

Sony from Japan

S10 is still worth it s10+ is good.
I have the normal s10
Now also with Android 11🤗

Motorola USA

We're at war with China

Can you guess three times where at least half of the chips in the cell phone are made from? In China!

Unfortunately god!

We as the western world have lost anyway. Most of it comes from low-wage countries and we only have the final production End

Absolutely correct

First we're littered with cheap stuff and then poisoned as a thank you!

Poisoned with what?

Corona

Poisoned = killed
