Should I buy a new phone or Repair my old phone to continue?

PLEASE try to read fully..

I own a Motorola Edge 20 Fusion which I bought back in Mar 2022. I feel its battery is failing from last year itself.. Just giving less than a day.. But rest all is fine, NO issues.. So, I took to service center to replace battery but they said the OG battery for this model is no more available, so try replace with a compatible one.. So I dropped that option and continuing to use it.. But from this year I feel the battery is behaving ok like giving full 1 day for my usage..

Also my mom was using Oneplus 9R since Sept 2021.. In Sept 2024, the phone got green line.. So we repaired it for free and continued using it.. Then in Oct 2025, the phone again got multiple green lines.. But this time along with it a partial left side of screen went unresponsive.. Also there are signs of battery bloating because there are signs of back panel popping out.. So she was using it till Mar 2025 until we got her a new Pixel 9A..

I just contacted Vivo (as Vivo has taken over Oneplus) about repairing the screen and they said they can still do it.. I might replace battery as well..

Now, I was thinking to buy a Samsung phone like S25 FE, but looks like the price is fluctuating a lot.. I was planning to buy it for around 40k, but its not coming to that.. People are saying the price will come down in BBD sale in Oct, but I dont believe it due to increase in phone prices of all brands recently..

So what should I do? What till BBD and buy a new phone like S25FE or Vivo X200 FE? OR repair my Oneplus 9R by repairing the screen and changing the battery and still use it for next atleast 1.5 yrs??

Also my mom's Oneplus 9R bought in Sept 2021 has green line issue 2 times, so we ditched that and got her a new Pixel 9A.. I just contacted Vivo about repairing the screen and they said they can still do it.. I might replace battery as well..

Now, I was thinking to buy a Samsung phone like S25 FE as my budget is 40k, but looks like the price is fluctuating a lot.. People are saying prices will drop more in BBD sale..

So what should I do? What for 3 more months till BBD sale and buy a new phone like S25FE? OR repair my Oneplus 9R by repairing the screen and changing the battery and still use it for next atleast 1.5 yrs?? Please share your thoughts..

Garbage not picked up for 1 week. No bins in my area.

My home comes in Pallavaram Municipality area. Here Garbage van picks up garage almost everyday or 3 times a week.. Sometimes its 1 day gap, sometimes 2 to 3 days of gap..

But now its 7 days and no one came to pick up the garbage..

Now there are no garbage bins in my area too.. So where are we supposed to dump the garbage now?? Its over flowing in my house and Bio degradable garbage is causing bad smell and potentially creating disease hazard..

I heard, there is some kind of Privatization happening with this waste management team and hence the workers are at strike..

Now what are we supposed to do in this situation? What is the Municipality doing? Now do we common people have to suffer?

Who else from areas of Pallavaram Municipality facing same issue?

Should I drop my plan of buying S25 FE and Buy A56?

Hello all,

So my budget is 40k and I am looking out to buy a near flagship phone with better camera, somewhat premium feel and smooth OS experience.. My important option includes Call recording with no intimation.. I feel Samsung is a better option for me.. If not, then Vivo..

2 weeks ago I actually ordered Samsung S24 FE from Flipkart for 40K but then cancelled after 4 days as I felt its bit old to purchase a Sept 2024 in Jun 2026!! Also I learnt Goat sale and Prime day sale coming on Jul 4, so thought the prices might drop, so let me wait for it..!

Then I narrowed down to S25 FE as many youtubers said its price would drop to around 40k!! I liked it because of its camera capabilities, wireless charging and premium feel..

Now the sale is almost here and I already see the disappointing prices in Flipkart which is usually followed by these scammers.. S25 FE price on 25 Jun 2026 was 47k.. Then just after 3 days on a night I saw it dropped to 43k.. Then just 2 days ago it rose to almost 50k and now its 48k.. May be the max if dropped on Jul 4, will be only 45k.. I don't have any cards or coins, so I am out of those options.. So S25 FE is now out of option for me..

I was also thinking to buy S24 as its compact.. But there are 2 issues with that as well.. One, its price was 49K, I thought It would come down, but it didn't.. Two, I see these compact S series having worst battery.. So that option is also gone for now.. S25 is costly.. And if S24 FE comes down to somewhere around 33k, then I might reconsider, but this didn't happen either!!

Vivo X200 FE is also in my option but its price is also not coming down!!

Now because of all this I am bringing in the option of Samsung A56 into my list as its available for 31k!!

Now my questions are - Is this A56 a good phone to buy? I see A37 priced at 37K but this one at 31k!! Also I heard Samsung having Green or other color line issues.. S Series is very common with that.. Does A series has line issues as well? And what about battery.? I see S series is again worst in terms of battery.. What about A Series..?

Any A56 users here, pls suggest..

OR should I wait for Days before BBD sale, watch the S25FE or Vivo X200FE to drop its prices and buy it?

Pls suggest guys.. And pls dont suggest Nothing or GT7T or any other brands or phone than mentioned above. I have see those too and they have in my mind as well.. Thanks..

Call Recording without notification!

Hi All,

Is there any new brand or phone, which has call recording feature without any beep notification?

I am currently using Samsung Galaxy M34, that records silently.. But Motorola edge 20 Fusion, recording with beep notification..

I have heard people saying, All Samsung phones has Silent recording but all other brands has mixed up results.. But just now one of friend say that as of now in June 2026, all new phones has call recording with atleast beep notification.. Is this true?

I am interested in buying Samsung S25 FE or Vivo V70 or Oneplus 13s.. Does these phone record calls with or without notification?

Please help..!

Best phone under 40K!!

I am currently using Moto Edge 20 fusion.. Its battery is going to die, so looking for a new phone..

I am not a gamer, usually play little games for time pass some times.. But I use Camera especially for video recording for youtube.. And I want a phone which has direct call recorder from the dialer (not from additional app) and that recording should not have any notifications.. Also looking for a bit compact phone..

I recently ordered Samsung S24 FE for 40K but then cancelled because I felt its bit older, heavier and not worth for 40k.. I am not sure S25 FE will drop to 40k this July Goat sale or Prime day sale..

I also feel Samsung A37 or A57 are worthless for price been sold as of now..

A36 is fine, also cheap, but little big, also 1.3 yrs old.. Is it good?

Also when It comes to compactness - S25 is costly.. S24 is old, is it recommended to buy in 2026?

I am also interested in V70 and X200FE.. But X200FE is costly.. V70 is also little costly but thought might come down in this July sale, but my question is about hassle-free call recording in Vivo phones.. what about V70? Same is with Motorola edge 50 neo..

Dont like apple, oneplus or any other brand..

Please suggest guys.. I am confused.. OR shall I go with A36 for cheap or an older S24 to enjoy compactness?
