Does a Phone with these requirements exist???

S

Hello people,

Am looking to buy a phone by Diwali this year. I have certain requirements. Was just wondering if a phone currently exists which meets all my requirements? If not you can also suggest any upcoming phone that would meet all these requirements.

1. Price under 35,000 rs

2. Screen - FHD+ (1080 x 2400) Amoled 10 bit panel with hdr10+ / dolby vision. Should support content in Netflix / youtube / Amazon prime video.

3. Gorilla glass 3 protection or better

4. Refresh rate - Minimum 120 Hz

5. Android 12 out of the box with 2 major Android updates guaranteed.

6. OS - Should be an Ad free experience

7. Speakers - Dual sterio speakers (dolby atoms support bonus)

8. Battery capacity - Minimum 4500 mah

9. Charging - Minimum 60 watts fast charging support and phone should come with the same power charger in box.

10. Processor - Any tried and tested processor with lag-free performance and with history of NO heating issues.

11. Bonus if phone has built in cooling solution.

12. Primary camera with OIS

13. 5g support with atleast 7 bands

14. In-display finger print scanner

15. 8gb ram minimum

16. 128 gb storage minimum

120Hz will drain your battery fast. Stick to standard 60Hz for long lasting healthy battery,

Samsung A52s 5G, boots android 11, but will be supported till android 14. Charging is slow at 25W but should meet all other requirements.

Look up videos on how to reduce unnecessary notifications from apps even further in Samsung devices.

Realme Gt neo 3/ oneplus 10r available with all the features except dolby vision price is a bit high, need to wait till sale for that price

Yes, Samsung lacks DV. I won't say DV & atmos are a deal breaker, as much as the phone's core specs are.

Am used to 120 Hz refresh rate. Can't go back to 60 after that

Thanks brother, I had looked at that phone. Only concern was the slow charging and non inclusion of a charger in the box. After being used to a phone that charges full in 30 mins, difficult to wait for 1 hr 30 mins.

But does the Samsung phone play hdr content without any issues on Netflix / youtube / prime video?

I have not read good things about oneplus 10r and honestly after oneplus 8t, no oneplus phone feels like one.

Take your call on that, for me its not an issue in S20 FE as it lasts me 24hrs, even on a heavy day will last from morning till night.

Yes, DV is just one standard. Samsung supports HDR & HDR10+.

IMO Nothing Phone is not worth buying at all. It is the first phone from a new company, so more reason to avoid it. From what I remember, when OP started, OP 3T was the first device which was good overall to be recommended to normal people.

Nothing's initial reviews seem good, but pricing is bad IMO. When A52s 5G exists, hard to justify spending on nothing:
Compare Nothing phone (1) vs. Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G vs. vivo iQOO Neo 6 - GSMArena.com

Get a Poco F4, flash a custom rom and get a USB-C dac like either of these:

Nothing phone would have been okay at INR 25-28k range considering that its build quality is the only decent differentiator.

Nope, not falling for the Glyph, seems gimmicky and the novelty will soon wear off.

True, it's the only phone that meets most of my requirements. Is there any upcoming phone that I need to keep an eye out for as I have time till diwali this year?

Not too impressed with the phone and overly priced for what we are getting. Better to avoid imo.

Not into flashing & custom roms brother

You either get the best hardware and then flash custom rom or settle for average hardware with clean stock OS (like in case of Motorola phones).

Nothing phone is more of gimmick. What is something usefull in it? That glyph is a fad will be over within 1-2 hr. After buying it. Neither are its ringtones too good. Hardware is mediocre. Cosmetic features as a selling point dont work.

With phone launches happening almost every month for Chinese brands, who knows what might launch by Diwali, still a lot of months ahead of us. A53 is worse than A52s, so don't consider that (weak SoC). A73 is too overpriced. Likely no decent launch from Samsung except a price cut on A73.

IMO Samsung's One UI is the best android UI followed by stock android in 2nd (because of lack of features), then MIUI & BBK OSes.

Am currently seeing Samsung A52s at around 28k on amazon. Is that a good price or does it go for lower?

Am definitely not considering the A53.

In terms of Chinese manufacturers, am only interested in realme. Any idea how the software updates are on realme phones? And how many years of OS updates do they usually guarantee?

Agreed brother but atleast they are trying something. Let's see how their next couple of phone launches go.

A52s is decently priced now, but Prime day sale is coming on 23, so just wait. This had 3 OS updates, now 2 left after android 12. A53 & A73 will get till android 16 though.

Realme provides 2 OS upgrades, like Realme 9 pro+ is good for 25k, saw it on sale + card offers for 20k.

Sounds good just wanted clarification on one more thing, if I get the Samsung A52s and put it on charge over night and go to sleep. Say the battery is fully charged in 1 hr 30 mins, will the charging then automatically cut off to the phone once the phone is fully charged and till I take it off charging after waking up?

There is a battery setting in Samsung S20FE where you can limit the charging at 85%. So leaving phone connected to charger overnight is fine. But I stopped leaving phone on connected to charger overnight because of my paranoia :ashamed:

I know for a fact on my oneplus 8t, the charging automatically cuts off once the phone is fully charged irrespective of it being connected to a charger. So was curious to know if other brands have implemented this technique yet in their phones

Just another thing would be that once the charging is completed till 85%, the phone will stop charging. If the battery drops to 84%, it will charge again till 85%. This may happen several times based on the background activity in phone. But don't need to worry too much about it.

IIRC this is common in all phones since high capacity batteries started to appear.

I now use a smart plug with timer set to turn off after 1-1.5 hours(depending on battery left) so even if I leave the mobile with charger plugged in late at night it is still no issue.

Thanks brother, glad to know that
