What about dual 4g volte support in Redmi 9 Prime and Narzo 10?

If for strict 10K budget redmi 9 prime 4+64 gb is vfm

Then for 12k budget Narzo 10 4+128gb or 9 prime 4+128 or note 9?

They are confused about choosing budget..
If mobiles under does have more significant performance and overall features compared to mobiles under 10k, then they will buy 12k device.
If not then vice-versa.

2k difference? worth it?

What about other things.. 2k price difference
I don't know about you but I wouldn't buy a 720p resolution phone nowadays when my 5 years old phone got the same resolution so Narzo 10 is a no go for me. Note 9 certainly has a bit better hardware than 9 Prime & it also has gyro sensor(which btw my 5 years old phone also got) missing in 9 prime which is again a big con for me.

Depends if the user is keen on using the 1080p screen otherwise 720p screen is also good and most users won't notice a difference while watching videos in it.

People also watch 480p videos even today & find it alright, the point is whether one wants to invest their money in clearly obsolete tech because this should logically be the last preferred option. Also I can still somewhat agree with a 720p amoled screen like in mi A3 but not about "most users not noticing a difference while watching videos in it".

720p screen is acceptable in phones under 7-8k budget, not above it ( iphones have this drawback too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

My friend bought a 720p screen phone and compared it side by side with a 1080p phone. He couldn't find any difference (may be due to his eyes)

Only sale you need to look out for in India are flipkart big billion sale & amazon great Indian shopping sale both of which starting from 16/17 of this month. Get poco m2 pro for 12999- 10% sbi card off = 11699. No point in saving 3k on a mobile nowdays especially at the lower/budget end.

Thanks i thought about that too. Looks like 12 k to 15k is the sweet spot.

Definitely. Cheapest phone I would recommend would be Redmi 9 Prime or Poco M2 (10k & 11k usually but should be cheaper on sale). But something just under 15k are pretty great value, like Realme 7 (15k) or Moto One Fusion+ (16k & further discounts with card offer). For something middle of the road, Poco M2 Pro (sale 13k) is great, as suggested earlier or Samsung M21 (sale 13k) for an AMOLED display + Samsung name. Samsung M21/M31/F41 has its weak processor as its main disadvantage, otherwise decent devices.

Anything good with no ads around 11k having dimensions less or equal to 150.2 x 74 x 7.7 mm (5.91 x 2.91 x 0.30 in) (Moto G5+)?

Poco M2/M2 Pro

Even Samsung pushes recommendations these days, so you have to spend some time turning those off based on your phone. Moto seems to have pure stock OS phones apparently, so should be the cleanest. Moto One Fusion+ is good but G9 plus has just a 720p display.
