Hi Guys,

Need to order two phones on behalf of my friends, one till 10-11 and the other till 12-15k. Specs are almost the same for both
1. Budget? 10-11 and 12-15
2. Display type and size? Good display for videos. If Full HD then great.
3. Dual sim? Yes
4. Preferred choice of brand? Samsung etc.
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? Good camera for decent photos
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS,Stock Android etc). One UI, Stock
7. Preferred connectivity options (Dual 4G,802.11AC/5Ghz(not 5g mobile network) wifi). Best in the budget
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? Video, Photos
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? No
10. Any other info that you want to share If the phones can come without a notch, teardrop/big a notch is a notch, then great.
If expandable storage can be there then great. Otherwise 32-64gigs is what we are eyeing for.

Thanks

Thanks. Any stock option?

You mean stock android? Nothing other than Nokia & I don't think they are worth their price in comparison to these 2 models. Mi A3 is the only other good option in this price range with stock android+good camera if you can live with 720p amoled screen.

It shouldn't be priced above 8k TBH and Xiaomi isn't pushing timely updates for A series compared to those running on MIUI

8k is too low for such a phone considering its camera can easily rival/surpass note 7 pro which sells for just under 10k & it is android one device with amoled screen even if 720p. As for updates I think miui needs it more than android one devices.

Get Realme XT, I have already made two friends buy Realme X2 in the ongoing sale. The updated UI is much better and specs wise XT and X2 are very good for the price. Can't go wrong with any.

And for lower budget, you can consider Redmi Note 8 or Mi A3.

Low/mid end Samsung phones are known to get laggy after a few months of use. So, avoid Samsung.

Redmi Note 7 Pro & Redmi Note 8 Pro or Realme XT (has AMOLED but inferior software support).

Samsung M30S is good if Samsung is needed.
