Welcome to r/PickAnAndroidForMe! We're a community dedicated to picking out the right Android device for those in need of assistance. There are a lot of phones out there, each likely suiting a different user's needs. If you'd like fast advice, a second opinion, or a place to talk, make sure to check out our Discord!.

If you're switching from iOS, don't forget to turn off iMessage. In short, forgetting to turn it off can prevent you from receiving messages from iOS users that previously contacted you; this article explains it better than we can. Also, if you're switching from iOS to Android and you're worried about how to make the switch, check out this guide.

Note: Automod will link the iMessage article when certain words trigger it, but we figured it would be handy to have on the sidebar just in case.

#Want to talk?

Discord for live suggestions from trusted members of the community, alongside discussion on various topics with the community itself.
Modmail for official subreddit business. Have an issue or want to speak to a mod? Leave us a message there.

#Wiki

Wiki 2.0 for new stuff. Aspects of the wiki are out-of-date, particularly with regard to the device recommendation section, but much of its advice remains relevant today.
Legacy WIKI for older devices.

#Rules

Saying you weren't aware a transgression was against the rules is not a valid defense; infractions will be judged at a moderator's discretion. If you feel an action was unfairly punished or if you see a user breaking the rules, please message our modmail.

If you use an affiliate link, the comment must be "substantial". It shouldn't be a one liner; explain why the device is good and why OP should purchase that device. Lazy affiliate drops are likely to be removed. For the unaware, purchasing from an affiliate link gives a small amount of money to the person giving the link; this comes at no extra cost to you, but the linker profits from it. Affiliate links are allowed, but you'd better put effort into your comment if you're going to use them.
Don't spam. Stay on topic when submitting a post; this is first and foremost a place to find/help people find an Android device.
Be nice. Bigotry and slurs will not be tolerated. If you feel uncomfortable from the actions of a user, report them and message modmail; reporting is anonymous and modmail isn't disclosed.
Do not post about devices you're selling.. If you want to sell a device, r/hardwareswap is a more acceptable venue (US-centric, there exist subs for specific countries too). Alternatively, make a listing on Swappa. Links to Swappa ARE allowed as comments to posts. Be transparent if the device you're linking is owned by you, should you link Swappa to an OP.
Don't troll. Intentionally feeding bad advice, being deliberately obtuse, or just basic trolling are all frowned upon and will be punished. Report trolls and/or bring them to our attention in modmail if you notice any.
Do not post links to a device as the main body of a post. Alerting OP to a deal in the comments of their post is fine, but don't submit a deal as the body of a new post. Posting that a new device is now officially available, however, is fine.
