Avoid M32 5G because of 720p display. M32 4G's main con will be eMMC storage instead of UFS 2.1.

Moto G40/G60 fusion might be worth considering, lacks AMOLED & is a bit big & heavy but overall good phone.

MOTOROLA Edge 20 Fusion

@omega44-xt How does Moto G60 Fusion compare with Redmi Note 10 Pro? Since both cost 18k. Basically looking for good camera and audio.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Consider Edge 20 Fusion over G60 Fusion just for the OLED screen, even if it costs more.

RN10 Pro has AMOLED as a major advantage along with lower bulkiness.

 

[vivek.virgo]

Does RN10 Pro have issues with making calls due to the proximity sensor?

Yes it does, Ranjeet reviewed it i think. Check the review for more info

 

[Nerevarine]

Go for G60 Fusion, stockish android, no cancer miui and no proximity sensor bug.
RN10 pro on paper is better on hardware but user experience G60 fusion will be better.

EDIT: Ive been bamboozled by a spammer.

Sad to say but LG is dead precisely because they kept messing up with prices. This phone isn't worth over 6k from a specification POV. Nobody would compromise on performance irrespective of "military grade" protection and "splash proofing".

Last 2 cameras are a joke, 5 MP ultrawide isn't enough, android 10 on 3 year old P22 isn't helping it either.

Yes, all these are low end phones, have bad specs for the price. (720p screen, Android 9/10 with no chances of getting updates, Helio P22 or Unisoc whatever).

Also, buying a LG phone now doesn't makes any sense.

Ok if you think lg phones are not worthy I am suggesting to buy atleast samsung mobile phones especially m series like samsung m21 m31 etc.,.

If anyone of you want to buy mi smartphone's I am suggesting to buy poco series especially poco m series like poco m1 m2 etc.,.

Poco F1 which was launched three years ago comes with Qualcomm 845 Snapdragon processor and 4000 mah. This particular phone comes with 64 gb rom, 128 gb rom and even 256 gb rom.

At first starting price was 25k but at present there is a huge price drop.

My sincere suggestion is to search for poco F1 and after that poco m1.

I would've agreed with you in 2018-2019 but not now. F1 is a good phone but there are better options at same price with arguably much longer official software support.

SD 732G and Dimensity 800U perform close to SD 845

OP might loose custom rom support on Edge 20 fusion but would have cleanest ui in this budget and OLED screen. With Note 10 Pro, he'll have plenty of custom roms and higher refresh rate (Edit: has proximity sensor issue, should be avoided till it is fixed by xiaomi or maybe by using custom roms). They also have better cameras than F1. Unless he's getting a used F1 for 10-12k, it shouldn't be considered.

 

[Nerevarine]

Note 10 pro has proximity sensor bug, according to geekyranjit, so avoid

 

[rupeshforu3]

I think that F1 build quality is better than note 10 pro.

LG's phones except for flagships after price cut were not worth buying since a long time now. Everyone knew they were dying & they made it official. Samsung M series is just better, even a better choice than Oppo & vivo which many buy blindly. IMO Oppo & vivo can be blindly ignored as there are always better phones from Samsung, Xiaomi or even their own Realme or iqoo.

Poco F1 is too old now. Poco X3 pro is its successor. But not everyone needs the raw performance, so for most people Edge 20 Fusion is just a far better choice with stock android & AMOLED display.
Compare Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro vs. Xiaomi Pocophone F1 vs. Motorola Edge 20 Fusion - GSMArena.com

No, Poco F1 didn't have a great build quality, but it was acceptable. I will personally like metallic frame with plastic back on phones as it reduces weight & there's no chance of shattering the back as is the case with glass, just my opinion.
