Moderators at OzBargain are now running yearly polls to decide the best products in popular categories that get asked repeatedly in the forum.
Our aim is to have a central thread where users can vote on the items, suggest options and also change their vote throughout the year.

For more information on how these polls work, or if you want to suggest a new poll that isn’t covered already, please refer to our announcement thread here.
Good phones don’t always have to be expensive, and there lots to choose from in this category. This is also the part where we’d normally talk about last year’s top suggestions from our community, which you can see here.
However, closer to the end of the year the number of voters gradually tapered off and the poll quickly became outdated ; with the number of votes skewing towards older phones that got suggested at the beginning of the year.
To keep the poll fresh and continually updated with information you might get reminders to come back to rethink your vote and change it if neccessary.
Remember: You can change your votes at anytime, and suggest more than 1 product over the course of the poll. If you have a product that you would like to suggest for the poll that is currently not in the Poll Optionsyou’ll need to make a top-level comment i.
Do try to make a sensible suggestion e. You can only suggest 1 product at a time. Using this on boost.

Had mi max previously and upgraded to mi max 3. I’ve no complaints for the price. Massive screen to ozbargain with.

I agree with you around the previous used models idea, but I think the LG G6 is a better deal. But it doesn’t like it’s going to happen.
Also worth noting selfie cam for pocophone is much better. Lack of local warranty support is a concern though. You just needed to stop there.
The only reason I wouldn’t consider a pocofone is because it’s missing these things. I would question the camera claim though – pocofone has a great camera and came out on top in a blind camera test done this year.
Nokia 8 should be considered. Good things about it is the all aluminium body and because it runs stock android it been updated relatively quickly and now comes with Android 9.
On the down side its not fully water proof. Nokia 8 lower end, cheaper variant runs ‘stock’-ish android, but not Android one. See Wiki for more information.
Sirocco runs basically stock as I have read it before.

And as Scrimshaw corrected me before Nokia 8 is not pure stock android either but maybe something very close. Where did you find it?
Last year Nokia 7 plus was a clear winner. Moto G5 Plus came second and I guess it was great value for money form at the start of the year. Pocophone F1 has great specs, pretty good camera but lacks NFC and Band 28 which are important for some.
IMO being able to pay with google pay and use NFC is someways more useful than fastest processor unless you are into gaming.
LG V30 is good all rounder.

Selfie cam is not very good apparently but otherwise good features. I expect pri. Motorola G7 plus does not looks okay but may not have NFC, has lower battery than the G6 and is not as powerful as Pocofone.
I would not geat G7 over Pocophone. Nokia line of phones with Android One represent good value because of monthly security updates and Android updates.

I consider security to be very important. Secondly longevity from 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security updates adds considerable value in my opinion.
Pocophone F1 for the time being is the clear ruler of the midrange phones right now. Sure it doesn’t have NFC or Band 28, but regardless of that you don’t get flagship specs in a midrange phone these days.
See all customer reviews. Lg g7 fit vs xiaomi mi a2 lite The Cons: The 5.
Xiaomi is going for that OnePlus market so i’m hoping for NFC to be on the Poco F2 if they ever release it this year along with a smaller notch.
Also i never thought i would get myself into PuBG Mobile until the past few weeks, the phone is just that damn amazing and more spectacular if you know how to flash ROMs by following what the devs in XDA forums do.

I think it has more to do with the countries it is marketed for. I suspect in many of these countries contactless payment is not a big thing yet. B28 is not a major issue for me.
Again it is not a flagship spec but more related to region the phone is designed for. Contactless payment is absolutely massive in China.
Some shops only accept payment via apps. No NFC needed. I’ve been happy with my Pocophone F1.

Bought it at launch when I was in Singapore and haven’t had any issues with it. No love for the Huawei Nova 3i? For a bit more the 3i is a great option.
A suggestion on the recently introduced Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, Google’s recent addition to the Pixel series and the first in line as a midrange phone.
Many people are excited for this phone since they bring back the headphone jack!!

Seriously why did they even remove it in the first place?? Obviously wait for the price drops until it can fit the midrange price range but it’s worth it imo, especially to give a satisfying feedback to Google that these are the types of phones they should make, not something like the Pixel 3 which turned a lot of people off.
But it checks off the things that OzBargainers want from a phone: clean Android OS with security updates and the possibility of unlocking bootloaderB28, NFC and a good price after a month or so.
Got a redmi note 4, has served me well and i’ve been running pixel experience last few months – 0 complaints. They don’t have NFC nor Band28 but it will satisfy the user who really wants 5 plus hours of screen time.
Must be compact no bigger than 5. Huawei Nova 3e 5. Real pain it doesn’t have a form of water proofing, would’ve been great if it had.
I can’t fault the phone.

The camera is better, sound is awesome via the Quad DAC. Screen resolution is same if not better. I wouldn’t consider anything else. I like security and OS updates in a regular and timely manner.
Haven’t used a OnePlus device. They are supposed to have bi-monthly security patches but from what I’ve read that’s been slipping.

I got October security patch for my oneplus5 last night, wondering if that’s not great what is. Shaunf: That is good.
29.01.2020 – De Mi A2 borduurt voort op dit recept en legt de lat nog net weer iets hoger. The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite runs Android 8. Terms and Conditions apply. Handig Honor MagicWatch 2: dit zijn de plus- en minpunten. Digging a little deeper, this seems likely a reaction to GDPR, the set of EU regulations designed to firm-up data protection and privacy.
Like I said I had read a number of forum posts about the updates slipping but not owning a device don’t have experience with them. What options do I have for a camera that can preferably make use of GCam and has a good camera.
NFC is important as I use that for all card payments as well.

Hardware alone can never constitute a good phone. Poco has a pretty bad skin on it. Nokia with Google one is much better.
Zoals je kan zien is het filmpje met P inderdaad gestabiliseerd en die in 4K veel schokkender, ook al is de optie tot beeldstabilisatie ingeschakeld. Lg g7 fit vs xiaomi mi a2 lite De camera-bump voor de dubbele camera is wel aanzienlijk, waardoor het toestel wiebelt als je hem plat op tafel hebt liggen en deze gebruikt.
If I did not already have a Mi 9 Lite in transit I would probably have ordered this instead. The Mi 9 Lite appears to have Infrared. Gotta add my new baby to the list Oppo Reno Z!
The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is among the best in class in terms of the simple experience of shooting.

I’m gonna buy a phone for my sister since hers is literally taped together. What do you guys recommend? How’s the camera compare to it’s competitors?

Poll Options expired How’s the Audio Quality? Build Quality? Any Issues at all with it? I think for most people LG V30 wins but.
Nokia 8 Sirocco is Android One. Will be interesting to see how things pan out this year.
