My mom does most of her work through calls on phone so she needs a Mobile with a longer battery and also processor should be good without getting struck or getting lag for making payments and good amount of storage and a decent camera
Also it should work fine over the years as she doesn't change mobile that frequently and suggest if I should get the mobile right now or BBD sale ?

Budget : 30k

Battery : 6000+ mah

Good performance over the years

Camera : Decent

Got many suggestions for my last post, but I feel edge 60 pro has the best camera quality in the range of 30k. Has anyone faced any issues in moto? or do you have better suggestions in this range which I should consider too? Open for suggestions and advice!

Purpose: Clicking pictures, storing documents like notes, pdfs. Calling, chatting, using hotspot for 2-3 hrs avg. No gaming.

A good battery life and can sustain 3-4 years easily.

Budget: 12k-15k.

I’m looking for a phone that I’ll purchase in India but use in Uganda. My budget is ₹20,000–₹25,000.

My top priority is performance, followed by battery life. Camera quality, display, and other features are not major priorities for me.

One crucial factor is network compatibility. Since the network bands used in India and Uganda may differ, please check the exact Indian variant of each phone before recommending it. The phone should support the important 4G and 5G bands used by major Ugandan networks, so that I don’t face issues with coverage, mobile data, or connectivity.

Please recommend the best phones available in India within my budget, prioritizing:

1. Performance
2. Battery life
3. Network compatibility in Uganda

Please do not recommend a phone based only on its specifications or value for money in India. Network compatibility in Uganda must be verified first.

I'm looking to buy a new phone in the ₹50–60k range in India, and I could really use some advice.

I'm not a huge tech person. I've been using a Samsung Note 20 for the last few years, and it's finally started having issues, so I think it's time for an upgrade.

The problem is that the more I research, the more confused I get. Every phone seems to have some issue according to reviews or Reddit posts.

Here's what I've come across:

OnePlus 13 – I read rumors that OnePlus might be reducing its presence in India, and people were saying that service centers could become an issue. I also read that they're merging more closely with Oppo, but opinions seem divided on whether that's actually a good thing.

Samsung S25 – I've seen people complain about battery life, and there are quite a few posts calling Samsung "Scamsung," which has made me skeptical.

Nothing Phone – Saw several posts mentioning overheating issues.

Google Pixel – Also came across complaints about heating and battery life.

At this point, I honestly don't know what to believe.

I don't want to switch to iPhone/iOS. I don't play games at all. My usage is mostly:

YouTube

Social media

Camera (I like taking good photos)

Notes and productivity apps

General day-to-day use

A good battery life is important to me, and I want a phone that will last me 4–5 years without major headaches.

So, based on actual long-term experience rather than specs on paper, what would you recommend around ₹50–60k? Are the issues I mentioned actually common, or are they just the usual Reddit negativity where people mostly post when something goes wrong?

I'd really appreciate your suggestions because I'm genuinely overwhelmed at this point. Thanks!

Guys I want to buy a smartphone which is best value for money. But the reviews on YT are totally paid so want a genuine advise from genuine users.

My requirements

1)No/least bloatware

2)Well optimised software

3)Not a proper gaming phone but BGMI/CODM can run smoothly for 1-2 hours a day

4)Decent camera ( not very great but decent photos)

5)Good After service

So it's gonna be my first 5g phone as I was using Poco M3 6/64 gb which is around 6 years old or so.. after many reviews and suggestions I've decided to go after this one.

As it's my first phone after a long time.. can you guys suggest to me what I should keep in mind after getting it? Like in daily usage what settings to keep on, keep off for the best optimization?

Thank you, and have a good day mate!

ok i said i'd never buy a foldable. i was soooo wrong.
so my phone from 3 years ago finally died and instead of grabbing another normal phone i bought a foldable since it was at a solid price point to take a chance.
three weeks in and i genuinely can't go back to a regular screen for actual work stuff. not because the phone is "cool" or whatever, it's that unfolding it gives you enough real estate to actually do two things at once without feeling like you're squinting through a mail slot.
yesterday i had my notes app open next to a pdf i was marking up. I didn't have to switch back and forth, didn't scroll up and down 400 times, it was just... there. side by side. on a phone.
i keep catching myself trying to "unfold" my laptop screen out of habit which is insane but also tells you something (it's an addiction make me stop-)
not saying everyone needs one. but if you do any real work on your phone (docs, email, comparing stuff) the small-screen thing starts feeling like a self-imposed limitation once you've used the bigger canvas
anyway rant over, peace.

the sponcer (ai+) is shady af and not to be directly trusted

Iam going to college and want phone under 20k... my requirements are good front camera and 6 128 not a gaming phone but can atleast work 54 to 5 years... kindly suggest me

Same as title

Edit- i want 256gb storage
