Is Samsung galaxy m20 is a good buy for a budget of 10k ?

My dad's Redmi note 5 is showing ads. And ads are shown like the ads in pirate download site. Most disgusting way.:aaargh:

What about note 7 ? Does it have ads?
There are ways to minimize MIUI ads by a lot: Ads in MIUI 10 hamper the experience on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro: Here is how to disable them

Redmi Note 7/7S is the best choice at 10k. M20 isn't worth it IMO.

There should be sales during Independence day. Expect bank discounts & price of RN 7S to be same as RN7.

Is it alright recommending Redmi phone in this case as usage mentioned is "office professional use" which has nothing much to do with hardware/camera/storage etc compared to some "inappropriate ad popping up" during some business meeting.Why not play it safe & go with Nokia 6.1 at 7k or Max Pro M1 at 8k?

Does nokia 6.1 have heating issues?

And max m1 and m2 having stock android. The stock ui is not easy to use since the user is not a techy person

Actually i opted m20 because of One UI..

Max M2 is not worth its price,either select nokia 6.1 or max pro m1. Btw see this:
Samsung Galaxy M20 Review
The Galaxy M20 runs the Samsung Experience UI, as the company's new One UI is still in its beta test phase.
Besides that, we also got the usual barrage of notification spam from the My Galaxy app and some of the other preloaded apps. No matter how many useful extra features a manufacturer's custom UI has, this is the kind of thing that makes us long for stock Android.

SE UI and One UI are basically the same, the latter has some improvements but both are like butter. Yes, My Galaxy notifies a lot, but one can always turn off notifications for this app.

The some reviews for Nokia 6.1 mentioned that it's suffering from heating issues?

What about that?

I can tell you this,this "heating issue" you will find for almost any phone.It is very subjective & depends on a lot of factor.Basic principles of physics states that any electronic circuit under heavy load will produce heat.What some people consider "hot" will be considered as "warm" by others(a good example is cup of tea,what my friends call warm tea I call hot & what I call warm tea my friends call cold).

He bought it during a sale.There is going to be another flipkart sale around 15th August so maybe you can buy at that price too.
 
What about max m2 @ 7999
Max Pro M1 is actually better than that

There are no phones from big brands that suffer from big "heating issues", say like some old phones due to S810 SoC. If you keep the phone with 4G on & ambient temps are high, phone will be hot, every phone will be.

I don't think stock UI is tough to use. The pie update definitely made it less user friendly with mandatory gestures, but otherwise its fine. I don't like stock because of lack of some common features which many custom UIs have. But compared to a bad UI like of oppo & vivo, I would anyday prefer stock.

Have you used it? Many people would rather use MIUI with ads compared to realme UI.
Check the review of Realme X by Android Authority, bit extreme IMO, but kind of the truth of all Oppo & Vivo phones. Realme has phones with good hardware, if they start putting stock android, it would be great. Also, Oppo & Vivo are not as good as Xiaomi regarding updates. Xiaomi phones might get just 1 android version update but they do get MIUI updates which do add features & other stuff.

The biggest problem is , I am currently using max Pro m1 6gb ..

The phone is good but pie update disabled call recording

But my friend's realme c1 pie updates don't disabled call recording

And jio to jio native video call not supported by Max Pro m1

Both features are necessary for professional use

That's why I hesitate to buy stock android phone

Some max pro m1 update disabled jio native video calling which was earlier available(that is why it is not a good idea to immediately update,always wait for few days/weeks & read comments on phone manufacturer forum/xda forum/gsmarena comments before updating). As for call recording,google disabled it on pie & only way to record calls now is by rooting the phone(which will void the warranty of most phones) or if phone manufacturer has provided this option(e.g.samsung,realme,oneplus etc but even they do not provide it in all countries,it is available in India but not in many other countries).

You could have already mentioned this in the beginning(about using max pro m1 & its issues) saving time & comments.Just buy samsung M20 then.

Call recording is kind of legal grey area as in some countries it is illegal to record w/o notifying other person. No wonder many companies are removing it. Google officially removed the API used for call recording, hence it doesn't work on stock android devices. Realme modified android to not implement that change, likely. Samsung phones had it baked in back in India, not sur eif its still the case with Pie update. No call recording in Samsung phones in the US, at least for Pie.

Native video call was again removed by stock android long back, not many people use it I guess. If those two features are required, get a non-Pie phone to be safe & never update it to Pie.
