Moto G60 is one good option, has 108MP Samsung sensor. Check its reviews. No 5G though but has stock android with no ads or bloatware.

Edge 20 fusion has an AMOLED panel + 5G, hence the higher price. If you can increase the budget, I'd pick Edge 20 fusion as its also lighter:
Compare Motorola Edge 20 Fusion vs. Motorola Moto G60 - GSMArena.com

I checked geekyranjit videos.
I was comparing g60 camera with edge 20 camera.
Budget is around ~15k only. budget can be streched ~20k only if offers around ~5k included.

This suggestions also looks good.
For camera phones.

Your call. I think the discounts have been reduced now. So take a call soon. After few days, discounts will be further reduced, check their card offer T&C to know more.

Didn't suggest RN10 Pro/Pro Max because they have proximity sensor issue or lack thereof.

Poco X3 pro can be considered but is made for gaming/performance. Check camera comparisons between it & Moto G60.

I think last date is 10th oct.
And i think Amazon pay upi offers are till 12th.
Actually the person already used Moto g5s+ and it's stock UI.
Though still g60 is the last choice, person want 800+ SoC.
732g + 108 mp is not good combination
Yes poco x3 is for gaming, but 800+ processors are good with camera.
Still watching YouTube reviews for good camera performance mobile.

Little overpriced for budget segment.
Are there any Note 11 series upcoming phones?
Poco phones also in consideration.
I thought note 10 series price will decrease. But they are out of stock now. Price will decrease or not?

Inflation is rising, silicon shortage is ongoing & prices will creep up slowly. Xiaomi doesn't easily reduce prices of older RN phones for some reason. Other RN11 series will be more expensive.

Poco M4 Pro 5G is coming, but I don't think it will be cheaper than 15k:
Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G - Full phone specifications

D810 ~ S732G
You can consider the D920 ~ S765 < S778

Does anything below Realme 9 Pro+ have that Sony IMX766 sensor? Not likely no. I still don't think Samsung's 108MP sensor is a good choice, just increases cost & processing load but android has always been about bragging high numbers, be it high MP or 1440p res displays.

may be they are targetting those who don't know much about software optimization etc. but jump at numbers. a multi-brand mobile shop owner told me 2 months back that many people who come to buy under 20000 ask about megapixel of the camera and how many are there. one such person told him he got robbed by apple as his iphone 12 has only 2 cameras. i have also noticed a lot of twitter techies talking similar things.

so sorry but i have a slightly different opinion. since the person was happy with the purchase and it is his money, it is ok. there are some people i know who are using a galaxy fold just for calls, sms and some whatsapp. they are happy after spending their own money, it is fine imho.

Galaxy fold is a super ultrapremium device but the tech isnt there yet. Foldable I mean. Its not durable at all. I've used it hands on and I could see the crease and how fragile the device is.

Its just for snobs atm.

Definitely happens, that is why android manufacturers prefer quantity over quality. Hence why Oppo & Vivo sells, they usually have cheap SoC & low quality cameras for the price, good selfie cams though.

imho in the last 4-5 years, it has become a race to launch one model after another, just to flood the market instead of concentrating a little on software part. a lot of customers also have no idea or don't feel it is much relevant for privacy and security but just jump at high specs mentioned at low price.

There are 2 options now. Buy new device for aged relative and keep old device with us. Or buy new device for us and give old device to aged relative.

1. Buy 10k mobile for aged relative
  • 5000+ battery (6000mah preferred)
  • good front camera for video calling and back camera for photo video
---
How is infinix hot 11s for 10k?
Redmi 9 power is not available and overpriced on Flipkart.


2. Buy 15k mobile for us
  • good camera
  • 5g optional
---
Poco M4 pro on 1st flash sell
Is there any better device compared to this one for same budget?


Need to buy in 2-3 days asap.

Yes. My preference is buying Poco M4 Pro 5G only. But if I couldn't get it on 22nd Feb, I need backup plan. Redmi note 11 or Vivo T1 5G

Can you suggest 10k device?

I will buy on 22nd or next day max. Not after that.

Poor value IMO, see what has good specs. Expect, HD panel with Helio G35, 4GB RAM & 64GB storage.

This has great specs for the price but I have OS & build concerns, G35 phones won't be that responsive, so choose your poison. Check its reviews:

This is where the Stereotype starts. As a general consensus we all think that if its a "MADE IN CHINA" then it will be a Cheap and inferior quality product. Which is wrong. China is world wide famous for Cheap labor and parts that is why the whole world depends on China. For e.g: Walmart, AliExpress, Lenovo

Actually, They produce both Superior & Inferior quality products but the later kind of overshadows the former. That is why the perception of staying away from Chinese brands. And we don't know if Samsung which is Korean brand might depend on some of its components on China :)

Well, I don't support China or telling it as a Fanboy. But I have seen good quality products too. My 2 cents.

@TigerKing : You can go ahead with Realme. I've been a satisfied user of X2 Pro for the last 2.5 years and its still going strong. My brother still uses the Realme 1 128 gb (The first launch device in India in 2018) though he is thinking of buying a new one as he wants to try some new phone ;)

Every phone will have bloatware but only phones allow either all or few of its bloatware removal by its users.

I noticed such phones namely Samsung & Nokia.
Some bloatware can be disabled but on Chinese phones there is no such feature.

That's why I am recommending Korean & Finnish phones.

Because I used or are using these phones. That's why.

Oneplus & Moto are pretty clean for Chinese, just saying.

If you say about nagware like those push notification ads, guess what, Samsung M series has them as well & they can only be reduced a lot during first setup. I have a feeling that if my S20 FE was setup by someone other me, it will push some suggestions notifications as well. In MIUI, at least you can disable those post first set up as well. Most local shopkeepers always check all boxes when setting up your phone for the first time. I recently tagged along with a friend who bought an Oppo (not a good decision, I know), I literally had to snatch the phone from the shop employee's hand at Poorvika.

I used Motorola Android one Program phones but their RMA is shit.
I never used One Plus though so can't comment on them.

Android One program phones bloatware can be Uninstalled or there isn't any bloatware in them though.

Actually Chinese are good. It's all Indian locals seller sell their products in the name of "चाइना का माल" and says "चला तो चांद तक नहीं तो रात तक"

I wonder why will china make led lights strings for India's diwali festival. But still news channels chinese products awareness campaign runs every diwali and encourage bad quality Indian products. This will only harm India's export quality.

Wait another 5 years we Indians will dominate the EV raw material market.
Then China will have to rethink its strategy man.

Give another 5 years then we will be making our own LEDs or anything.

Jindal, TAta sons etc have already are putting efforts regarding EV raw materials production & procurement.

Ranjit even if he's paid, atleast goes into details and gives his opinions what makes or breaks the device. He gives subjective opinion on build quality, and compromises.

Technical guruji just reads the specs off the specsheet and calls it a day.

Please, don't recommend Technical Guruji to people. He doesn't do reviews. Trackin Tech seems the same. I didn't expect such recommendations from you honestly.

Ranjit goes into details & even says stuff are subjective. He might do paid reviews, no way I can disprove that, but can you prove it either? But at the end, he has quality content.

Beebom was caught doing a paid video for Flipkart Smart upgrade or something & C4ETech roasted them.

Camera is very much decent. Expected better. I'm no expert in camera.
GCam is only solution now but waiting for proper support for the sensor.
2 Speakers, one on top side and other on bottom. Bottom one loud enough but top one isn't loud. Is it problem with device or miui? I expected louder stereo speakers. These are not that loud.
I liked back side matte finish, looks premium.

Type C 2.0 could mean it uses the USB 2.0 protocol.

I typically check on a macbook, it should say 480mbps or 5 gbps. Even one plus is capable of 5 gbps but the cable they provide is only usb 2.0 cable. I tried a thunderbolt 3 cable that came with my monitor and i got the full 5 gbps speed.

So check your specs well.

Not all USB Type C ports are same. USB-C port is just a connector shape. An USB-C port belongs to a specific USB version (USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2) and hence has predefined features and capabilities. Only USB-C port with USB 3.1 or above versions support DP Alt Mode (DisplayPort Alt Mode) feature. This feature enables them to stream video signal.

Misconceptions Between USB Type C and USB 3.1 Gen 2

Confusion often arises when discussing the relationship between USB Type C connectors and USB 3.1 Gen 2. The USB Type C standard defines only the physical connector while the USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard applies only to the electrical signal. While most system designers will choose to communicate USB 3.1 Gen 2 signals through USB Type C connectors and cables, it is possible to transmit and receive USB 3.1 Gen 2 compliant signals through a connector which does not conform to the USB Type C specification.

It's not possible to tell which generation USB used in the Type C connector.

Need help.
M4 pro 5g have 2 stereo speakers.
But top speaker have very low volume compared to bottom speaker. Is there any fix? Software fix?
Or it's a hardware issue?

It's a cheap stereo implementation, even my S20 FE has a bit lower volume from the earpiece speaker. Check reviews & see if your phone is supposed to have balanced sound to begin with, very few phones have volume level from both speakers.

Can't the volume be increased with any developer options turned on because even my phone acts strangely sometimes volume seems to go up and come down.

I never used developer options other than changing DNS options to disable advertisements which I got browsing the internet.

I think you would have to reduce volume of primary bottom firing speaker.

Do elaborate on disabling ad part - esp if its possible without root. (off topic)

Use AdAway app, create VPN for non rooted device for ad blocking.
Or adguard, blokada

VPN method is not ideal IMO, loss of speed. For browsing, Samsung browser with ad blocker is working well.

Volume is from the speaker only not from the earpiece.
Looks like only one speaker performs well.

I know, but that's what I only use on my phone.

Not sure then why OP has sound from earpiece as well, maybe Xiaomi pushed it in a software update?

GSMArena review states stero though - Poco M4 Pro 5G review

OP is by me.
I never said sound from earpiece.
I said sound is low from top speaker, there are total two stereo speakers top and bottom.
Please check that video you will get why.
I don't know if it's a software thing or hardware thing because video suggests even after replacing that speaker you will get same sound.
And if it's a software thing, then custom rom developer will solve this issue.

Many devices including high end have poor implementation of 2 stereo speakers.
One of the situation is mentioned above.
Other one is sound output is from earpiece instead of top stereo speaker out of two speakers.

Some custom ROMs have this extended setting "earpiece sound output (can't remember exact name)" for "single" speaker devices. (I don't remember those custom ROMs names. Maybe Havoc OS or something)

And as per GSMArena,
The top stereo speaker also acts as an earpiece - the reason why sound is coming from both the front and the top grilles.

This might be right, but there is seperate earpiece.
And when on call it uses only earpiece. No top speaker.
When speaker turned on during call, then sound comes fro. Both top and bottom speaker.
