Planning to get a new phone, pls drop ur suggestions.

So recently I've posted regarding my a53 giving issues and all, and ive decided to change the phone.

Iam in ug program rn, and I'll start earning in mostly 3 4 yrs so I need a good to run till then, so tht I can buy a good flagship phone then.

But there's another options ask my parents to get me an iPhone 17 or samsung s25+, though they r not getting convinced on tht.

In the year 2022 while i was buying this phone my father said he'll buy an iPhone for me, but dumbass mee said no. But now this phone gave up at the correct time, now I also need an ipad or tablet for study purpose so how should I manage getting both of these things 🥲.

I thought if this phone was working just get an ipad 11th gen But now even those apple prices have increased like crazy and on top of tht this phone is dying.

Now iam considering a budget of 40k can u suggest some good phones which can run effortlessly for about 3 4 yrs down the line.

Urgent: Need to buy a phone TODAY (₹10k–15k budget) – Please suggest the best option

My phone unexpectedly died today, and I have to leave the city in a few hours, so I need to buy a replacement today from an offline store. My budget is strictly ₹10,000–₹15,000 (can't stretch it), and the only non-negotiable requirement is 5G. I don't really care about the brand as long as it's reliable and offers good value for the price. What would you guys recommend in this budget?

Phone recommendation

Is taking iQOO z10r (vivo t4r) priced at 23k worth it provided it's 8-128 version.... Since other newly launched smartphones are such a disgrace for money... This is the only phone I am finding lil bit valued for price.... Earlier I was going with redmi note 15se... However iQOO z10r has better specs in comparison of note 15se..... Any suggestions or any other phone recommendation???

"23k is the max I can go in budget "

Help in phone purchase

I'm planning to buy a new phone and would appreciate some unbiased advice from people who've actually used these devices. My priorities: •Camera •Display •Battery •Processor •Software experience & updates •Build quality I'm not a heavy gamer. I mostly use my phone for photos, videos, social media, streaming, and everyday tasks. I want something that will stay smooth for the next 3–4 years.

I have attached handwritten list of models below: (maximum budget:30k)

Motorola Edge 60 Pro ₹30,000 - ultrawide blocked from Snapchat & Instagram. Edge 50 Pro (cheaper) works fine. This is a regression. Proof inside.

Just bought Motorola Edge 60 Pro and discovered the ultrawide camera doesn't work in Snapchat, Instagram, GCam or any third party app.

Checked with Camera2 API Probe, only 2 camera IDs exposed. Ultrawide and telephoto completely hidden by Motorola software.

The worst part? Motorola Edge 50 Pro works perfectly fine with 0.5x in Snapchat. Same brand, cheaper phone, better camera access.

And Samsung Galaxy M36 at ₹17,000 also supports it.

So a ₹30,000 phone in 2026 has worse third-party camera support than a ₹17,000 Samsung.

Already posted on Motorola's official forum. Tagging u/motorolaindia on Twitter.

If you have Edge 60 Pro please install Camera2 API Probe and check and drop a Flipkart review mentioning this. More voices = more pressure on Motorola to fix via OTA.

Best all-rounder phone around 50k - 55k? (Need great cameras, clean UI, and killer performance) No bank discounts or exchange tricks.

Hey everyone,

Looking to upgrade my phone soon and my actual out-of-pocket budget is 50k to 55k INR flat. I can stretch a tiny bit past 55k if the leap in quality is genuinely massive, but here’s the catch: I’m looking for a pure deal. No credit card specific discounts, no exchange bonuses, just the straight-up retail price.

I’m chasing a true all-rounder that doesn’t compromise on raw power or daily usability. My main boxes to tick:

  • Killer Performance: Needs to be fast, snappy, and handle heavy multitasking and gaming without turning into a brick heater.
  • Great Cameras: Solid main sensor, dependable low-light performance, and stable video.
  • Clean Software: A smooth, well-optimized UI with minimal bloat and reliable long-term updates.
  • Battery: Strong screen-on time that easily clears a heavy day of usage.

It feels like every device in this bracket has a catch—either great performance but mediocre cameras, or a brilliant display but bloated software.

If you bought a phone recently around this price without relying on bank offers or trading in an old device, what did you end up getting? Is there a clear value winner right now, or should I hold out for the upcoming festive sales to see if premium flagships drop to this baseline price?

Let me know what you think!
and ultrasonic scanner with great usb port and wireless charging is kink of what i expect to have at that budget

Camera centric phone at around 30k

I need a main camera centric phone with ok processor to handle 1 hour of coc

Max budget is 35k

Battery around 5000mah will work

But I will use it for another 5 years

Software ui should be okay not too much disturbing

Phone for college 😃

​

Since high-school ended my mom made a promise to buy me a phone costing half my exam percentage which is roughly 45k inr

Iv never had a new phone, used me brothers oneplus 5 till the screen broke( goated phone), then me dads samsung m31s which im using, i appreciate its **battery and camera quality but it lags crazy.**

The phones iv seen somewhat around the budget are

s24 fe, a36,

nothing phone 3/4a, poco x8 pro, one plus 13r, possibly vivo v70

My phone usage mostly reading manga, youtube and other studying stuff. Also appreciate a decent camera. ***Dont plan on gaming because im actively trying to reduce my doom scrolling and growing phone addiction***.

I was leaning towards nothing 4a because of the pink color and design which i like and dont think others have.

Hoping to discuss and eliminate the options😃😃

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..

oneplus 15r or oneplus 13

(india) got a budget of 50-55k inr and since the prime day sale is coming up oneplus 13 might also fall in this range.. which one will be a better purchase considering gaming is one of the priorities or is there any other better phone that might fall in this budget?
