My Goal To Buy A New Phone
I know you have read so many posts of me about buying a laptop and a tablet. I know it's so confusing because my decision keeps on changing. I keep thinking a concrete plans after all. If I have to weigh everything, I really need to go for the cellphone. My phone right now is not broken yet and I don't even want to replace it however due to the limited storage or should I say no more storage left, it made me decide to think of buying a phone with massive storage for good.
I still have a goal to buy a laptop but right now is not the right time for it yet. I think I can wait. I know one day I can have my own laptop but for now I have to focus towards other most important matters. The reason why I have plotted to buy a tablet is because I want to serve it as a mini laptop at the same point a second phone with massive storage. In the end, I decided that it's better to get a phone and after this I can get a laptop if I would still have more luck towards the crypto world.
I am positive towards this goal and of course I should be determined always. I know I will achieved all my plans one day. For me buying a phone is an investment and I want to buy something that will lasts for a long time and not just for only a few years. I have research few gadgets/phones that I want to decide and give a shot:
Realme Neo 2 GT
This phone is around Php 23, 000 or $445.95. I know it really sounds expensive but I want to invest in good phones for a long use. It has 256 GB storage and 5000 mAh battery. It has 64 MP camera so it's good to me already. However I am not sure from the battery if it easily gets hot. I would like to know about it.
Poco GT x3
This is a competitor of Realme. In Shopee online store, it is around Php 13, 490 or $261.56. It is also 256 GB storage and 5000 mAh battery. It is also 64 MP camera. However its processor is Mediatek and not Snapdragon which is said to be slow. So I don't know what to chose.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite
This is around Php 17,000 or $329.62. It has 64 MP camera as well and a 256 GB massive storage. The battery is around 4250 mAh only. What I like about this phone is that it is very lightweight and not painful to the hands when carried. However there are reported problems from Xiaomi phones shutting down or dead boots. I myself also experience that since I'm a Xiaomi user too so I somehow doubt MIUI phones lately.
These are the phones I have been eyeing and I keep reading reviews about these. There are also other phones who has same specs however they have overheating issues. If you noticed, most of the phone nowadays are non-removable and having a phone that overheats all the time will decrease the lifespan of the battery and of course that means your phone will totally lose its worth.
As much as I want to grab cheaper phones, I am thinking about the long term use that I am aiming to have. If you have many suggestions or recommendations if what's the best to buy, I will be glad to read it. I am a thrifty person if you do not know that but buying phones who are higher really means a lot to me because I want to get the good phone for a long use. I do not want to settle for less. Although my phone right now is still working and there's no problem, the only thing is the storage. I don't know if the 265 gb storage is already enough espescially when I would be using it for the long term.
Among the 3 phone models I have mentioned, which among them is the best and why? Or is there a different brand you can recommend to me that is really worth for the long term? I am also looking for a 256 GB phone with micro SD card slot. If you know any, kindly comment it.

Im currently using xiaomi 10 (bought for 7k+) the quality is great considering the price. Complare to other phones ive used before id say may fav is xiaomi.
I'm not super techsavi ate but Here's my opinion to Xiaomi with the model i have:
I love the camera, (tho the vibrancy is quite lacking) but has a really high quality to it. I have the 64gb storage, and i do a lot of vid/pic taking for business and stuff and so far for 6 months i haven't ran out yet. It runs smoothly. It also last around 6h from 100 if you stream vid. But if you do light stuff it can last upto 12 h.
Tho I'd love to upgrade my xiaomi phone rn to something like the xiomi 11 lite. Not now but soon.
The xiaomi 11 lite sounds wonderful in my opinion. It's also not too expensive, just in the middle .
