Moto G73 & iQoo Z7 (not Z7s) are my recommendations under 20k. G73 lacks AMOLED, but stock android lacks any ads or nagwares. With some modification, Z7 is definitely worth considering.

Normal vivo & oppo phones are always a poor value, blindly ignore them. Their own iqoo & realme will have better value for money phones, that's by design.

Just ordered Realme 11 Pro Plus for 23k with exchange using EMI. I cannot use Amazon EMI since I have already used its limit for my moms phone. So went with this.
