Ideally 5g but if not at the bare minimum 4g volte capable. I hate the idea of buying any of them tbh but my phone is legit starting to die (hardware related, not worth fixing because I bought it for $50 through a promo and it fucking sucked then too but it was usable) but even if I fixed it it barely supports volte and every carrier in my area literally requires it now.
My initial thought was to pay extra and buy something sanctioned but I doubt I would screw anyone over but myself and I might as well just buy something functional and solid that I can distract myself with for a year or two and leave this hellhole.
Thoughts?
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 pro
Though I heard it's not that much better than the 10 pro so maybe just this since it's cheaper
I have the Redmi Note 10 and it's an insanely good phone. Just in general, without considering that I paid ~200 for it 2 years ago. Battery life lasts me 2 full days of usage, hardware everywhere is amazing. I've used the Note 10 pro camera and I think it's a bit better than an iPhone 11 pro camera. Software wise, it's not great. Better than Samsung android, worse than Pixel android
Only 4G volte in USA. Also the Note 10 also says it doesn't work with Verizon but I tried out of curiosity and it works on my phone. T-mobile and AT&T also work on my phone. Can't say anything for these newer models though of course
My 11T also has a Communist bunny fixing an android as the splash screen
I second this. My current phone is a redmi; it def punches above it's weight and has been really durable.
