Which phone is the best pick around 800 PLN from this thread’s shortlist?
From the shortlist (P10 Lite, Y7 Prime 2018, Redmi 5 Plus), the clearest in‑thread recommendation is Huawei P10 Lite. It offers a balanced package for calls, messaging, media, and navigation. Verify local pricing and warranty before purchase. [Elektroda, leonov, post #17312919]
Is it worth stretching to Huawei P20 Lite, and what should I watch out for?
Yes, if you find a strong offer. One user bought P20 Lite at about 950 PLN. Avoid installment‑financed phones from T‑Mobile or Plus. Operators may block them if the original buyer stops paying. Check IMEI status and documentation before buying. [Elektroda, leonov, post #17311814]
What extra features do you get jumping from P10 Lite to P20 Lite?
P20 Lite was noted for USB‑C, face unlock, and 64 GB storage versus P10 Lite. Also compare the cameras and LTE bands to match your needs. "Compare also cameras or supported LTE types." [Elektroda, leonov, post #17314663]
Does Huawei P10 Lite have USB‑C or face unlock—and how’s call quality support?
P10 Lite lacks USB‑C and face unlock. It supports HD Voice and VoLTE on Orange Polska and Nju Mobile. "VoLTE has better call quality than HD Voice." Enable VoLTE on your plan for clearer calls where available. [Elektroda, the4anoni, post #17314796]
How do I avoid buying a phone that might get blocked by the carrier?
- Ask for a proof of purchase and confirm it wasn’t on installments.
- Check the IMEI on a blacklist checker before meeting.
- Avoid listings tied to contract extensions without documentation. Operators can block unpaid‑installment phones; protect yourself. [Elektroda, leonov, post #17311814]
Is Redmi Note 5 a good pick for this budget and size?
Yes, a contributor called it "the best" and noted it’s a 6‑inch phone. If you accept 6 inches, it’s a strong choice. For maximum endurance, Redmi Note 4 shows a 4100 mAh battery. Try in hand to confirm comfort. [Elektroda, Brozerihno, post #17324864]
Does Redmi Note 4 suffer from call‑quality issues?
Some buyers report muffled, distant‑sounding calls on Redmi Note 4. Treat this as an edge case and test calling early. If it disappoints, return or exchange within your seller’s window. [Elektroda, Mati5610S, post #17327611]
Why do call experiences differ—one user says fine, another says bad?
Unit variation and retailer batches can differ. Another owner reports clear calls and suspects some store batches had issues. Make a test call and check firmware before committing. [Elektroda, Brozerihno, post #17331831]
Do I need 5 GHz Wi‑Fi, and how do I confirm a phone supports it?
If you want 5 GHz, look for 802.11ac on the spec sheet. 802.11ac operates on 5 GHz and is often labeled dual‑band. Check listings for “ac” or an explicit 5 GHz mention before buying. [IEEE 802.11ac]
Are 6‑inch screens actually taller than 5.6‑inch phones?
Not always. The thread notes some 6‑inch models match 5.6‑inch height. Slim bezels and taller ratios increase screen area without extra height. Handle both sizes in person when possible. [Elektroda, szymon1051, post #17312503]
Is paying extra for Samsung A5 just for water resistance sensible?
Considering A5 for water resistance is reasonable if you can stretch your budget. Decide if water resistance matters more than other features at this price. [Elektroda, szymon1051, post #17323002]
Should I buy from official distribution or grey market?
Prefer official distribution for warranty and Polish service support. The thread warns of problems with unofficial units and recommends authorized sellers to reduce headaches. [Elektroda, Brozerihno, post #17324864]
Will these phones last a full day on battery?
Aim for larger batteries if you need all‑day use. Redmi Note 4’s 4100 mAh is a strong indicator for day‑long runtime. If you need more margin, carry a compact power bank. [Elektroda, Brozerihno, post #17324864]
Which network features should I enable for clearer calls?
Enable VoLTE and HD Voice where supported. On P10 Lite, users report both on Orange/Nju. "VoLTE has better call quality than HD Voice." Ask your carrier to activate VoLTE if needed. [Elektroda, the4anoni, post #17314796]
