Need to upgrade from my poco F3, the phone is working but NFC has gone haywire.

Need
1. Android (Important)
2. Good camera
3. Dual apps, so Pixel is out (Important)
4. Decent battery
5. Wifi 7


Don't want Samsung or brands prone to green line issues, don't want Apple either.
I need to buy by the end of this year. :o

I was looking at XM 17 but i'm worried that the back screen will spoilt easily.

Budget below 2k :(

Depends on how "good" you want the camera to be, upcoming Xiaomi 17 Ultra / Vivo X300 Ultra / Oppo find x9 ultra etc will likely have newer camera / larger sensor hardware wise. But need to check if they offer Global ROM or if u do not mind CN ROM.

Oneplus 15 is on the way. Chinese version launches this month if I am not wrong, global version might come out by the end of the year.

Good camera only Samsung, Pixel and Apple.
The only brand that fits most of your categories is Samsung.

1. Android (Important)
2. Good camera
3. Dual apps, so Pixel is out (Important)
4. Decent battery
5. Wifi 7

Samsung is all 5.
Pixel is battery life chui.
Apple is 2 to 5.
Huawei no Google unless you sideload which itself has a lot of issues.

No China phone please, UI is atrocious.
