Looking for a reliable smartphone <10k

Could you please suggest reliable android phones under 10k that would last a few years and wouldn't be too slow?
I would prefer it to have stock android so I don't have to fiddle around when trying to troubleshoot problems for the owner.

In that budget with near stock android, you have 3 options. Moto G35 and G45, and from Lava you have Storm Play. All the 3 gives just one OS update, both Moto boots A14 and Lave boots A15. All the phones have their own plus and minus, see which one fits you the best.

Non stock android options, Poco M6 Plus and Samsung M06 are decent choices.

Cheap Samsung phones are not worth it. Better go for Moto G45 or LAVA StormPlay.
