Better options to a 512GB P30 Pro for £350?

Bug One · 28 Apr 2024 at 22:22

My wife is struggling with the 128gb storage of her current p30 pro. In all other ways, she's perfectly happy with the phone.

Is there anything else new that I'm missing thats got,

Good quality, optical zoom camera
Wireless charging
Full Google support
512gb storage

For under £350?

Redmi Note 13 Pro +? Might be at the upper end of your budget, but you can often find good sales on them.

No optical zoom and the cams are average.

The Op has an order fsr too tall.

Having decent cameras with proper zoom seems to be a real sticking point with all mid range phones.

Yeah, something is going to have to give with those requirements I suspect.

Hence why perhaps a P30 Pro is still the best option.

My only worry is that it's unlikely to progress from Android 10.

How important is wireless charging? Xperia 10 V seems to almost match the requirements but lacks wireless charging. Storage is only 128gb but comes with a microSD slot so you can expand it with a 512gb SD card (can even go up to 1tb).

Memory card in the P30 pro?

My daughter has my old p30 pro and the phone is still amazing compared to others.

Oh yer - that's a great call. Totally forgot it takes a memory card.

Just bare in mind I think they use their own proprietary cards, Nano Memory. Can't remember if the P30 was one of these that only used that instead of microSD.
