Pixel 3a / 3a XL fulfills everything

Pocophone

damn, looks pretty good. I wonder if the lack of NFC will matter in a few years?

Thanks based user. I'll keep that in mind if I need to replace my Oneplus 3T. I'm hoping to hold onto it for at least another year or two but I like to have a backup plan in case it breaks unexpectedly. I don't really follow smartphones as closely as I used to, but i remember when the Pixel 1 and 2 came out they were both mercilessly mocked by the internet at large. The 3a looks a lot better though. Is that the general verdict? Is the 3a seen as a turnaround by?

I need a budget phone with a big screen for my mother, something that works with Cricket in the US and is around or less than 200 bucks.

Any suggestions?

do you know a good app that let me control an Android smartphone from a pc? I broke the display on my phone but half of it still works, I want to backup some things before trying to repajre it

Should I bite the bullet and update my phone to Android Pie?

Last phone I had did have NFC but after installing LineageOS I couldn't use Google Pay
ended up just using my bank's app and forgot about it
Android Beam is a gimmick
