I am thinking about buying a New Mobile Phone - Which brands are good and which ones to avoid ? My budget is Rs. 20, 000. Some phones from Xiaomi has some very good features as per their website.​

I heard of
1. Some mobile phones from some brands get too hot and even explode.
2. Bloatware in mobile phone brands like RealMe.
3. Software complaints in Samsung M series.

Any advice regarding which brand I should buy and which ones is a must avoid?

Avoid any Oppo or Vivo branded phones (not including iQoo or Realme).

Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is a good phone under 20K, it has good specs and a well-built body!

Won't recommend Xiaomi phones unless OP would flash custom rom on it.
