---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know of any other place where there are as many people with an affinity for software and technology as in this forum. I would therefore like to ask you for advice on my first major purchase in 2024, namely a new Android smartphone. Indirectly, the whole thing even has to do with finances, because on the one hand the purchase will reduce my savings rate for December and on the other hand a smart purchase can represent an "investment" 🧐
In order to be able to make a specific recommendation, I will now describe my usage behavior:
I don't have WiFi at home. In the beginning, I had a little box where you could put the SIM card in and Wi-Fi came out. But now I prefer to have two cell phones, one is my iPhone, which I use for a lot of things but not everything, and the other is the Android cell phone I'm looking for, which I now want to replace and call a WLAN donor.
Why Android?
With the software versions I know, Android has the advantage that you can switch on the hotspot permanently and it remains active even when no devices are connected. I also have apps that are only available for the iPhone and only for Android.
Budget:
I'm aiming for around €200 if it makes sense, it could also be €250 🤭
Main tasks WLAN dispenser:
Hotspot, e-reader, telephone
It would be important to me:
The WLAN dispenser should have a powerful battery, as it supplies all my devices with WLAN 24/7.
The WLAN dispenser should have a relatively large and eye-friendly display, as I use it a lot for reading, but still fit in my handbag. (Smartphones of 6-7 inches are probably ideal here)
It would be great if the WLAN dispenser costs little, has a minimalist design, looks and feels good, doesn't have any huge structures or protruding lenses on the back and has advantageous software.
So am I looking for the jack of all trades and cheap to boot?
No, you can make compromises in many areas, for example, the quality of the camera/s is irrelevant, the speed and manufacturer of the chip are irrelevant, NFC is not needed, the charging speed is unimportant and all the other popular features are not needed either.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks if you've read this far and now I'm looking forward to one or two smartphone recommendations.

Additional question:
I have already noticed that certain apps and subscriptions have different prices between Germany and Austria. It should be even cheaper with countries like Poland, Turkey or Brazil...
The new smartphone would be the chance to set up everything with the cheapest country... Which countries would be a good choice for getting apps and subscriptions at a good price and what should I bear in mind?
Thanks again
Xiaomi officially unveils new e-car: but more Tesla than Ferrari. $1810 (+2,98 %)
Xiaomi follows up and presents its second electric car, the YU7. The electric SUV confidently takes on strong competition in the form of the Tesla Model Y.
Looks like a Ferrari! Pictures of the new electric car from Xiaomi published a few days ago caused a real storm of enthusiasm on the internet. Now the Chinese manufacturer is officially pulling the cloth off the car, providing a few key figures and the official name of the car: the Tesla Model Y competitor is called the Xiaomi YU7.
According to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, interested parties won't have to wait too long for the brand's second e-car. The YU7 is set to be launched in summer 2025, at least in its home country of China. While we are still waiting for official technical data on the range, battery capacity and price of the Xiaomi YU7, Jun has at least revealed the dimensions.
With a length of just under five meters, a height of 1.60 meters and a width of 1.99 meters, the electric car will have a wheelbase of 3.0 meters and weigh 2.4 tons. Visually, the station wagon stands out from Xiaomi's debut model, particularly at the rear. The top speed is expected to be 265 km/h.

Purchase decision for electric cars
I would like to increase my position in EV companies from China. I currently already have $175 (-0,87 %) in the portfolio, but would like to diversify further. After looking around and reading up a bit, I have widened the circle to $1211 (-0,27 %) and $1810 (+2,98 %) narrow it down. I see BYD as a safer investment, while Xiaomi, despite its broad product range, looks more like a risky stock. What are your views on this? Which share would you prefer?
Why the tech giant $1810 (+2,98 %) could be on the verge of a price explosion
$1810 (+2,98 %) is no longer just a smartphone manufacturer, but is developing into a broad-based technology group with enormous future potential.

Apple's 5G modem is said to be worse than Qualcomm's.
It remains exciting with the eternal rivals $AAPL (+1,34 %) and $QCOM (+2,48 %)
Perhaps Qualcom should launch its own cell phone and notebook on the market. What is your opinion on this?
Also $1810 (+2,98 %) Xiaomi is focusing more and more on its own products, is Qualcomm still interesting for you?
Apple is to replace Qualcomm's 5G modems with its own from 2025. According to a report, Apple's modem will be slower, among other things.
According to a media report, Apple's self-developed 5G modem with the internal name Sinope will be less powerful in many functions than current top modems from Qualcomm. As the usually well-informed journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reports, Sinope is said to achieve a downlink of 4 Gbps in laboratory tests.
For comparison: Qualcomm's X80 modem, which is installed in the new Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, achieves a maximum downlink value of 10 Gbps.
Unlike Qualcomm's X80 modem, Sinope will also not support mmWave, but only the Sub-6 standard. This could lead to problems, especially in the USA, one of Apple's most important markets, as mmWave is often used in large cities there.
According to Gurman, Sinope will only use 4-carrier aggregation, as opposed to the 6- or 8-carrier aggregation used by Qualcomm. The higher the carrier aggregation, the higher the network capacity and correspondingly the higher the speed for users. In return, Apple's modem should achieve better radiation values and facilitate satellite communication. Dual SIM standby is also to be made possible.
Apple's modem development is said to be plagued by problems
Apple has been trying for years to develop its own 5G modem in order to become less dependent on Qualcomm. With its own SoCs, Apple has been setting standards in the smartphone market for years (and now also in the PC market), but the company is still dependent on its long-standing partner Qualcomm for modems.
There are said to have been numerous problems in the development of the modem. Among other things, the prototypes developed so far are said to have been too slow or too inefficient.
However, Apple does not appear to be deviating from its plan to install its own modem in its devices. The first version is to appear in the iPhone SE 4, a smartphone that is not one of the top iPhones.
