Questionnaire for Mobile phone purchase queries
I won't recommend any Oneplus phone because well they are overpriced for the time being and Samsung flagships in India don't have Qualcomm SoC.

Although filling that questionnaire would help, out of the top of my mind I'd say the S9 is probably the one to go for. Solid phone, beautiful display and good battery life. However, as Goku pointed out, Indian one doesn't have Qualcomm Chip. So yeah, keep that into consideration.

Processor is not an issue for me but for its battery life.

IIRC, as per reviews, the excellent battery life in S9/S10 is because of Qualcomm SoCs, which the Exynos ones lack.

Goku bhai keeping in mind op's usage the chip won't matter that much.
OP,
Go for S9 battery life is good.

Bought Iphone XR for 38000 from amazon. Could not resist the offer. Carried away.

S9's battery life if pathetic.I used it for the past 1 year and the battery hardly last till noon.
And the after sales service is...They quoted me 24k to repair the faulty battery and told me that the motherboard is also broken.

 

[Flash]

Op's questioned about buying Android mobile, and instead bought IPhone.
This reminds me of the "This is brilliant, but i like this" top gear meme.

I mean iphone XR @ 38k is hard to resist, can't blame OP for that
