No Samsung is a weird request. Just remember, avoid Exynos Samsung phones, else Samsung is the best android manufacturer there is. New phones get 4 OS updates, which is 1 more than even Pixel. Anyways, no good Samsung phone for your budget.

IMO get Oneplus 11R. SD 8+ Gen1 is efficient unlike S888 & 8 Gen 1. It also gets 3 OS updates, so till android 16. Wait till Prime Day sales begin next weekend. I will rate software experience similar on OP & Mi, but OP (even oppo & vivo) has a much faster update release schedule than Xiaomi. Xiaomi & Moto are slowest among major manufacturers. Surely OP runs oppo's Color OS now, but its good enough for most.

Below pic shows why not to buy phones with inefficient chips, like 12 pro & Pixel 7 pro. I expect similar battery life on OP 11R as it is on OP 11. Anyways check review of OP 11R by youtubers like Beebom, C4ETech, Trackin Tech English, etc.

Hey,
Thank You for this reply, I apologize for this late, actually I went somewhere that's Why I could not buy a phone on that time, Now I want to ask As many Sales are approaching Should I go for Same One Plus 11R 5G or some more choices have come? I need to buy a new phone with same above requirements in next one month. Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

OP 11R or Nothing Phone 2 will be my recommendations under 40k (I expect both to be on sale with discounts & card offers). OP 11 can potentially get a 10k drop as well. Wait till 9th Oct, early access starts on 9th midnight.

Get Axis FK CC if you don't have it already. Application via referral gets your ₹250 voucher as well, so can ask some friend for referral.

Can consider, it will surely go under 50k IMO, might touch 45k. If you can increase budget by 10k to 55k, then maybe S23+. Last year S22+ dropped to 55-60k momentarily during this sale, so if S23+ drops to 55-60k, that's a far better choice than OP11 (better cams, 4 OS updates vs 3 for OP11, better UI IMO).

I won't recommend Pixel 7 pro because of battery life but major price cut is expected for it as well. S23FE is set to launch next month as well, that will have exynos or 8 Gen 1, both are inefficient chips.

Oneplus is in amazon, I hope you have Amazon CC as well. Usually it gets 5% limited cashback (like upto 500 or 750) + 5% unlimited cashback.

If you want an Apple phone, why not?

There are many things that android can do, which iOS can't - if you are fine with how iOS is designed, you can consider an iPhone, at which point there's no need to ask for suggestion as different iPhones occupy different price segments. So comes down to your budget.
