BUYING A NEW MOBILE - PLS. ADVICE

G

Hello,
to all of you.
I want to buy a Mobile Phone, under I am writing requirements, Respected Members, Kindly check and advice accordingly. Hope to see replies soon. Thank You.

1. Budget? : Rs.20000 - Rs.25000

2. Display type and size? : Amoled : Bigger is better.

3. Dual sim? : Yes : with MicroSd Slot (This is must) : Dedicated or Shared

4. Preferred choice of brand? : MI : REALME : ANY OTHER NEW BRAND : BUT NO TO OPPO, VIVO, SAMSUNG.

5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? : ALL, if Front Flash comes it is good.

6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS,Stock Android etc). : ANDROID

7. Preferred connectivity options (Dual 4G,802.11AC/5Ghz(not 5g mobile network) wifi). : 4G-5G

8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? : Running some Important & Memory Consuming Apps and Multimedia/Camera

9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? : Nope, but I checked Redmi Note 5 Pro 5G, Iqoo Z6, Techno Phantom Pro(but its 4g), One Plus Nord Ce2, can't decide

10. Any other info that you want to share : I am looking some Phone with UnderDisplay Fingerprint Sensor, I know its a Gimmick but I want that. :smile:

Get Moto G82. I'd buy it if I had the same budget.

Realme 9 pro+ for a phone with a good camera without compromising on other specs (looking at Pixel 4a).

You must not buy oppo or vivo, but there are some great Samsung phones, never blindly have faith on any brand, be more model specific. Like A52s 5G is a great choice for 27-28k.

Moto G82 is another good choice, but check its reviews, generally Moto's cam algo isn't that good, also has inferior sensor. S695 is slightly inferior in performance but nothing major. Stock android can be a pro for most as you need minimal tweaking to block nagwares.

IMO pick one among these.

OH! My Mistake, actually I wanted to write Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G.

Phones suggested earlier are better. There are some good iQoo & Realme phones, but not all phones. I suggested a Realme one earlier.

For something closer to 20k, get G82 with offers.

No company exists which can be recommended blindly without checking exact model & price. But oppo & vivo can be ignored blindly because they are always expensive & iQoo & Realme are meant to be their more value for money options (all 4 of them & oneplus are from the same company).

Hello,

Respected Members,

As you all aware Many Sales are running this time, If I extend my budget to Rs.30000 Is there any Mi or some other Brand Phone coming under Rs.30000? As many discounts are available. Please reply.

GEEK_LEARNS

Moto G82, Edge 30, Samsung A52s
Do not waste money on crap OS phones unless you are willing to replace it with a custom rom.

IMO stick to G82 for the cheaper side, else get A52s. Realme 9 pro+ is somewhere in between but likely has the best selfie cam among the 3 (if that matters), my recommendation stays the same as initial reply.

If you want to play games, then it might be worth looking into one of the S870 phones, else, A52s is a balanced phone overall.

Hello,

Thank You for this reply, I really appreciate your all the replies & info that I get from your replies, till now, I am stick with G82 or Realme 9 Pro 5G, but as you said for Gaming Consider S870 phones, I am not a very heavy gamer but sometimes I play games, so Can I look Sd888 based phone as Xiaomi phones like 11T Pro based on this processor is available under Rs.30000 with all the offers? or Should I go for some other Brand for S870 or S888 processor based phone?

Thank You.

Dude, fix your priority list first. Phones with S870 or S888 will have inferior cam & much inferior battery life for S888 phones. For some gaming here & there S778 is more than powerful enough.

Also, I don't buy Realme 9 pro, I suggested + variant.

The iQoo Neo 6 on amazon seems like a good performance phone if you have an old phone for exchange, as there is a 3k exchange bonus. Expect camera to be similar G82, not Realme or A52s like.

Avoid all current phones from BBK electronics none of them supports jio's 700 mhz n28b 5g coverage band. As others suggested buy Motorola Edge 30 or Xiaomi note 11t pro+ 5g when on sale

Is it worth to buy 11t Pro if I get it under 30000?

If you would flash a custom rom, yes. Otherwise, no.

Not sure about custom rom availability on rom specific telegram channels, but in XDA, it is a drought for 11T Pro
