Best smartphone under ₹25,000 with balanced camera and performance?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a new smartphone with a budget of around ₹25,000 in India.

My priorities are:

  • Balanced camera performance (good photos and videos in both daylight and low light)
  • Smooth day-to-day performance
  • Good for college use, social media, media consumption, and casual gaming
  • Decent battery life
  • Reliable software experience with regular updates

I am not a heavy gamer, so I don't need the absolute highest benchmark scores. I would prefer a phone that offers a good balance between camera quality and performance rather than focusing only on one aspect.

Current options I'm considering:

  • Nothing Phone (3a)
  • IQOO Z10R
  • Poco x7 pro (But camera is not that good)
  • Any other suggestions

For those who have used these phones, which one would you recommend and why? Also, are there any upcoming launches that I should wait for?

Thanks!
