Nokia 6.1 - only -ve for you is that its either = dual sim and no microsd card OR 1 sim + 1 microsd card

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. Has 3 slot design, so no storage issue with 32GB internal. Has FHD display which the ones OP mentioned lacks, has best SoC & battery at that price. Nokia 6.1 is built very well & has a better camera most likely but the hybrid slot affects practicality.

After going through various comments on flipkart it seems pie update has many issues for majority of users & even on oreo many users reported that asus updates fix one issue while creating another(somebody commented that native jio 4g video calling was working earlier but after some update it was gone thus requiring need for 3rd party apps like google duo for making video calls using jio).

I'm not sure about specifics, but for my cousin its working w/o issues (at least any major issues).

I don't think many phones support native video calling. Last I used it was on S2 back in 2012-14. Not sure how it differs from 4G one, but I assume its similar.

Many phones can thrash it, esp Max Pro M1 & Nokia 6.1, just check specs.

Is the phone updated often,I mean is it running the last oreo update or latest pie update(initial pie update was problematic but this 2nd pie update is supposed to be better)?
