Best Mid-Range Phones (Summer 2023) | Top 15 Reviewed

[@OSW]

Just a reminder: If you have a case on your phone, it won't matter if it "feels flagship" or not!

[@angycucumber4319]

Yes it will you verified loser 😂

[@I_Rasool]

I used to think same, But I feel otherwise now. There is something about weight, screen or something which gives away that it is cheap or a flagship.

[@arbanaskocudo]

And usually color of phones body

[@JnPie]

The main purpose of buying a flagship phone for me is that It can run heavy games smoothly with no issue

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Low weight because plastic is objectively better when using a case. Which everyone uses.@@I_Rasool

Another great collection I am pumped to see what is coming out in this quarter. I do like how the Nokia design has grown on me and the rest of the phones are splendid but at this price point it is hard to put down the Pixels longevity. Thanks Chris

[@HaharuRecords]

Great, you mean like gym guys muscle pump!

[@hayyanalmemsani805]

We don't have pixels in my country, so for me it was a toss up between the A34 and A54 (I prefer OneUI, and the 4 years of OS updates is HUGE for me since I intend to hopefully keep it for 4+ years), I ended up choosing the A54 for the better camera, despite it having an Exynos processor and a smaller screen. I hope I don't regret it. I'm only worried about the performance on the A54 compared to the A34, if it's noticeably worse then I will have been ripped off.

[@abdullahnurdien]

how's the battery life on your a54?

[@hayyanalmemsani805]

@@abdullahnurdien it's fine i would say, i expected it to be top notch, but it's not, i guess it's a little above average. The only problem is the screen, i don't know if it's a rigid oled thing, but when you tilt it ever so slightly the screen becomes blueish, from the front it looks too warm, and when you start tilting it there is this rainbow effect going on. It's really annoying especially when the screen is white for example, cause it happens even when you're hsing your phone normally from the micro movements of your hand, the screens white balance keeps shifting. I also noticed when i first got it that it sometimes gets hot during normal usage, especially when using it while charging, i haven't been using the phone much since then so i don't know if this issue is still present.

[@mikiswordbreaker4805]

Seeing there is still SD 695 and 778G on the list..I assume that my LG v50s is still somewhat good for 2023 use..it has everything i need including memory card slot support..plus extra premium features like wireless charging and IP rating..

[@imthe_catgod]

Yeah don't change the phone for the next 10 years bro ❤❤

[@ChiliM4n]

I don't think you need to worry about processors too much anymore. The average user won't feel much difference between a midrange and a flagship phone in terms of speed. They'll all get the job done as long as you don't need it for heavy gaming. What you should worry about is security patches and software updates. I'm not sure if the v50 still has decent security patches.

[@Zhuk-zc8es]

I spent half the summer on GSM Arena with spreadsheets, comparing stats, processors, cameras, and prices. I wanted a headphone jack and a micro-sd extension possibility. After a long time, I eventually settled in the Poco X5(not the Pro), yes the camera only films at 1080p30, but I never actively used 4k, because of it's intense memory consumption, my current phone - Mi Max 3, can film 4k at 42MB/s, which with 64 GB, allows literally only 20 minutes of video. I think the Poco X5 is a good option for me.

[@KasKade7]

I can really recommand poco F5. Also got a headphone jack.

I would be interested in a Pixel 7a, but am put off by reading that you can't remove the Google search widget from the home screen, without adding a new launcher. Is this true? I use DDG, which means I would have a sizeable bit of home screen real estate which was unused. Keep up the good work, Chris.

[@devathey]

It's gonna be long review from personal use, so be ready! My dad bought me Galaxy a54 that i got for my birthday.. (White - 8/256) i've been using it for the past 24 days. I give it 4/5 rating... everything's great with a little exception that the phone used exynoss.. there's some heat, but not so hot that u can make fried egg The [Battery] is decent, with okay [Charging speed] (25w) not the fastest.. but im really fine with it (i got cashback... buy charger, screen protector, and phone case.. so i dont complain xD) it has Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and the back, but for extra protection, why not? Oh yeah, it has IP67! not that big of a deal for many people, but it's great to have The [Performance] is Good - Great (I play KartRider Rush+, Ace Racer, NFS No Limits, and Call of Duty) i once play Asphalt 9, the performance is great too. I dont play Genshin, Star Rail, or Honkai.. so idk what the phone's performance for those game... The [Camera] is great imo, i dont really have other phone to compare on my hand other than my parent's phone (Galaxy A32 & Oppo Reno 3) so it is a "big upgrade" for me. Cus, this is my actual first phone (not really the "first" because previously i use my dad's and my mom's old phone -> galaxy j2 prime & oppo a37f.. yeah it's an ancient phone xD) many people complaining about the chin [Bezel] being not thin, and the other bezels not as thin as the previous model.. while i'm agree and concerned at first when seeing people reveiw it, after buying it.. honestly, it's not really distracting and i dont care about it... im looking at the beautiful screen anyway, speaking of the screen.. it's great, smooth 120hz amoled.. it's not so big and it's also not small, so it's perfect for me... imagine samsung putting a better soc on this phone, the rating everyone give would be 10/10 but i just think, i know why samsung didn't do that.. it make less people buy the a34, or less interest on the flagship and focus on this phone... (not entirely of course) maybe that's what u get when making so many phone model😅 sorry if some of my english is bad... and if you're reading this far, hope u have a wonderfull day/night!

[@timcesnovar978]

Man F OnePlus, they ruined their software with that color shitty os and now they don't even offer a tool for unbricking phones so no roms are being developed, just look at the oneplus 10 pro. No custom roms anywhere. Went from having Cyanogen rom by default on oneplus 1 to basically destroying their software and ruin custom rom development. I am never buying from them again.

[@camotech1314]

Overpriced tbh, you can buy a 1TB Realme GT Neo5 SE from a certain china store for way cheaper. It even has faster charging and the same 1.5k display.

[@DudefromEurope]

I strongly advice against the OnePlus Nord 2T. I own a Nord 2 and my wife used a Nord 2t and we are so annoyed with the Phones the software is full of bugs and with every update you can reset your privacy settings and your notifications because they are overwritten. And the updates come very late. I have to restart the Phone at least once a day to have everything working.

Recently settled for the Poco F5 but I'll quickly switch if Pixels comes up with a decent gaming midrange. I like most things about the pixel except it's SOC that is still far behind the rivals.

I haven't just decided yet due to all negative feedback on Pixel 6a getting very hot, crashing and bugs... I'm not a power user, use my phone as a phone with casual family photos and videos, web browsing, and some Diablo Immortal playtime. Is the Pixel 6a really that bad on the long run?

Regarding the audio jack versus USB-C debate, I picked up an adaptor last week from Home Bargains, price £1.99 - probably anathema to audiophiles 🤣

[@Shineinpoverty]

I ve been using one for my old car since... Well long time ago. It is not as inconvenient as some think

[@nomiguda]

The problem is the DAC + Amp built into the phone's USB port is never, ever used so is often of very poor quality. If you're using a USB-C adapter in your pocket you'll wear out the USB-C port on your phone too, from it moving around in your pocket, and plugging in and out. The adapter is also awkward, in that it comes out of the middle of the device and has a little weight so it hangs on the cable on your ears. Plus it looks dumb. I prefer to buy a phone with a dedicated headphone jack to avoid these problems.

[@Shineinpoverty]

I used it to play music in my car from the phone. So, no pocket argument counts. Although, if I used to to play music while I walk or exercise, I would most likely use earbuds which have tiny wires and small weight.@@nomiguda
