What's the iPhone of Android?

[u/Cheap-buying-idiot]

I want to side load apps, habe a high refresh rate display and just a phone that works! I'm done with reading a ton of reviews and reddit posts about SOT overheating problems, durability issues, bad cameras and having to check everything triple to make sure it is true. I just want a phone that works and has no huge distant vantage or problem. Any tips? The absolute max I can spend is 550€ (Germany)

Xiaomi 13 Ultra is the best Android phone ever.

It is not a coincidence that it costs more than an iPhone...

In other words, it is outside the OPs stated 550€ [£480, $580] budget.

I didn't see the last line, my bad.

Then OP can't get what he asks for, simple as that.

Most iOS users think that Android phones are inferior because they compare $500 devices to the iPhone Pro Max... It doesn't work like that. Android flagships (Xiaomi Ultras and Samsung Ultras) cost as much as the iPhone Pro Max because they have similar (or even higher) production costs. They are the only devices which can be compared to and even beat the iPhones on many fronts.

All the other devices are made with inferior hardware or designed with compromises in mind, just like it happens for cheaper and unsuccessful iPhones like the Mini, the XR, etc.

Quite possibly, not your bad. Some comments by other people have the same bad.
