Is under 10k your fixed budget? If you can extend a bit you could get a Samsung M12 or a Realme phone. Alternately you could get a Redmi 9.

Galaxy M21 2021 vs Redmi Note 10 ?

 

[Cyberghost]

Realme Narzo 30A fits your budget comes with 13 MP camera available at ₹9k

 

[digitech143]

Narzo 30 pro or Nokia 3310 are the two phone which go for low and high budget.

I have increased my budget to 12K.
Heard Redmi Note 11 Series coming soon.
But Redmi always unavailable.
Fake demand and supply tricks.

RN11 has launched at 13k, decent for the price, except it boots android 11 out of the box apparently.

Flash a custom rom on this first and save money.

12.5k is with card offer apparently. It is on amazon, so full price is 13.5k.

Google it, search xda forum, best place for custom ROMs. Each phone has its section at xda, that is the place to look. You have to do your own research if you are going down that rabbit hole. I stopped rooting & ROMs because it was not worth it. Only advantage I might get by using a rooted phone will be system wide ad blocker. Earlier, esp in my old Nexus 4, the phone just lacked some features, hence custom ROM was required.

I tried that site long ago. Not much support for 7S. They only care about High end models. For cheap Chinese mobile not much help or threads there. Thank you

Dude, it took me 2 seconds to google it. This doesn't looks like "Not much support for 7S."

Note 7 and 7s are basically the same phone

Yes, Google only giving Redmi Note 7 Pro. Nothing for 7S. Both are not same. You can check yourself. I don't think both are same.

Do you have a Note 7, 7S or 7 Pro?

7 and 7s are same. 7 Pro is different.
