I just got my OnePlus 15R less than a month ago and I love everything about it. I'm running Software version 16.0.9.401

My notifications were fine the first few days but lately I'm noticing that I randomly won't get notifications for Whatsapp texts at all, when the phone is locked. Sometimes it happens even when the phone is unlocked and I'm using it. I'll get a text notification 10 minutes later or I will have to manually go inside the app to check for messages. Sometimes when the phone is locked I will see that there are no notifications, then the moment I unlock I get greeted with all the notifications. I've checked the battery and notification settings everything seems ok to me.

What's going on with my phone? Anyone else facing notification issues?

Looking to upgrade from my Mi 10T after almost 6 years of using it.

I prefer to buy within 45k (will be exchanging my Mi 10T, getting around 5.6k for it) can stretch the budget to 50k if the pros are really good.

Requirements:

• Heavy usage of Instagram, Reddit, Whatsapp simultaneously
• Watch a lot of YouTube, movies, anime and shows. So display quality matters a lot
• Don't game at all, so gaming performance is not a concern
• WFH so I don't really go out much to click that many photos. Still would like good enough cameras since I'm spending this much (despite how the market is rn)
• Good battery life matters a lot
• Want it to feel premium and not plasticky
• Would be using it for 5-6 years minimum, so I don't want older phones like OP13/13s/13R

I like to tinker with my phone, like flashing Custom ROMs 2-3 years after using the stock one that comes with it. That rules out anything with a locked bootloader. Even though I really like the Vivo X200T.

The phone I'm considering rn is Oneplus 15R. I really like how ColorOS looks, and the specs look good too. Camera is too basic for the price point but wcyd. The problem with 15R is it's out of my budget, the lowest I can get it for is 54k on the official Oneplus website after exchanging. Will it be cheaper offline?

I can get the Vivo X200T for 48k after applying the offers, but the bootloader is a big deal, I don't like OriginOS that much either and I'd rather go with a Snapdragon processor.

Is there any other phone I should be looking at?
