most of the tech youtubers including geekyranjit suggest Poco X2 under 20000. right now 6/128GB version is oos. if you can live with 64gb, get it or add 1000 more to get 8/256gb version.

Definitely 8/256gb version, 64gb is soon going to feel inadequate in next 1-2 years.

Guys ,
I am in confused between poco X2 an d realme6 pro.
I am looking for at least 6/128gb variant nd budget is 20k+-1k.
As far as the difference between two is concerned ,refresh rate is n issue.but then people are saying that it is a battery drainer.
So pls suggest between above 2.
Thanks and regards

people are saying that it is a battery drainer.

I can tell you this, unless you actually get the phone in your hand & start using it you will never find about about actual battery drain irrespective of any/all reviews & comments.

Still Poco X2 is a great choice, avoid 64GB version. Battery life might be bit better in 6 Pro, but still X2 makes for a good overall package. Primary cam is a bit better on X2 as it has a Sony sensor vs Samsung one on 6 pro, from what I remember.

Poco X2 8GB 256GB not available, so which mobile to choose between Realme 6 Pro 6/128 (₹18999) and Note 9 Pro Max 6/128 (₹17999)? or any other below 20k?
Need mobile urgently.

Go for 6 Pro for the better display & slightly less annoying ad situation, but you have to live with pill shaped cut out & relatively lower battery life. Note 9 Pro Max has only battery life going for it, even cam is a bit better in 6 Pro.

Can anyone suggest long battery life mobile below 20k?
Any brand will do, but battery should be big.
Does Samsung M31 supports dual 4G VOLTE?

Samsung M31, Samsung M21, Moto One Fusion+ & Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. Moto seems promising because of the lack of ads & a powerful SoC (main drawback of Samsungs), but it will likely have pretty long charging times, 2hrs or so, because of big battery + 18W charger & software updates might be questionable as they smeared their reputation themselves on that matter even though having stock android. Surely Samsung has the best display & Redmi has ads.

All of them should support dual VoLTE as that feature became common a few years ago.

Device is good, but as I am looking at comparisons on gsmarena between moto one fusion+, Poco X2, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max
Site does not mention Gorilla Glass, NavIC support, Infrared
Pop up camera is bad but can be neglected also Infrared feature can be neglected.
I need some advice.
Thank you.

Like the Samsung phones, it is safe to assume Moto lacks a branded protective glass, like Gorilla Glass, cost-cutting. So using a screen protector is mandatory. Moto considers itself as a brand with a better reputation than other Chinese companies, similar to Nokia, so usually have higher-priced devices. Even at 20k, One Fusion+ would have sold well enough to be relevant, but they launched it at 17k to likely get some good market share in that segment like it once did with Moto G series.

NavIC is not supported on S730G, 720G supports it as it was launched later. Xiaomi is one of the rare companies still using IR blaster. If you use selfie cam a lot, pop up might be annoying, but in general, it is robust enough, so won't just break.

If you are fine with lower battery life, get Poco X2. You get 120Hz display & a relatively ad-free MIUI unlike Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. Get at least 128GB variant as X2 lack dedicated SD card slot.

Around 20k redmi k20 pro is a very good option(plus a personal preference of mine, it has no notch/punch hole).
