So I need to upgrade/get a new smartphone - I've always had a Samsung, and had an S20 for last 5 years (yes i move on slowly).
And I'm probably at the point where photography is one of the most important features for me. however I also have to be budget conscious so can't really afford over £45 ($55 Dollars) per month on contract! I'm also somewhat technophobic, and do minimal setting changes/editing (although theres potential that I learn - but my ADHD brain is usually already overstuffed).
I've whittled my choice down to The Samsung S25 ultra & the Google Pixel pro
Basically on comparisons between the 2 they BOTH have features I want and both have poor features i want to avoid so super confused!
Basically I will be taking both photos and videos (usually short) Stability in those vids is important and my current phone has really declined in quality un this! Also i will be taking pics and vids in lower light environments such as dark rides (so potentially movement AND low light). zoom is also quite important and my current phone is awful for that, capturing moments in dynamic surroundings. Point and click is also important and I will be in dynamic situations were I won't have time to set stuff up - i need photography 'in the moment' and at short notice - if that makes sense!
These photos are mainly for A, social media, B, research (I'm in design - so capturing obscure detail is often important). and just self cataloguing and journaling - so basically it doesn't need to be professional level or anything really advanced!
I understand I won't get everything Im seeking perfectly within one phone - but want to get the 'best possible'.
I also though asking in a theme park group is better than that a general camera chat - as you folks understand what I mean
I'm open to suggestions outside google and Samsung but please be specific on model number etc as I don't want to confuse myself more i.e. if it's a iPhone - say which one!
Thanks
