Alternatives to a Samsung S22 Ultra

BeelzebubUK · 25 Mar 2024 at 09:59

I don't need the latest and greatest phone so currently rocking an S20 5G but it looks like the battery is starting to show it's age.

I was going to look for an S22 Ultra to replace it but open to alternative phones around that same spec.

Must haves would be :

6.5"+ screen
Wireless charging
IP68
~~Headphone jack~~ (I wish lol)

The Oneplus 12 is a great phone. Although it's not ip68. You can get one for £600 from places like Wonda Mobile. It's where I got mine from.

I should add that I'll probably be looking at 2nd hand as I don't like to spend a lot of money on a phone. Budget probably around £300

Pixel 7 Pro would be a good option.

Hopefully their approach to OS updates has improved, they completely ruined the 7T Pro with their final, long-delayed full Android update to it and then said they wouldn't release any further updates to fix all the bugs they introduced. I'd probably still have it if they hadn't done that.

Sony Xperia 1 IV? I have been looking at some of the Xperia phones (mostly the 1 and 5 models) as I fancy getting another to use as a work phone.

Can see B Grade 1 IV models listed for around £335. Has a headphone jack (one of the reason's I've been looking myself).

Only longer term issue I can see is length of support Sony offers now, but then again I typically will change my phone every couple years.

I was joking about the headphone jack as I didn't think any phones released in the last few years had one

Will add it to the list of potentials. Thanks
