About 25-30k

Nope. However if the brand provides an sd slot there instead, that would be a bonus

No preference

Android

5 GHZ, WIFI6
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?

Video calls
Photography
Stock trading

9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
Nothing
10. Any other info that you want to share
Batter life should be good
Operations should be smooth and fast



Thanks in advance
 
Check Realme X7 Max 5G. Geekyranjit recently posted his long term review. It might suffice your needs at 25k, has a decent number of 5G bands as well for whenever 5G arrives:

Just take care of bloat & disable useless notifications found in most Chinese phones & even Samsung these days.

Other good phones, Poco F3 GT, Realme GT Master, OP Nord 2 & iQoo 7.

S20 FE 5G is 34k after using HDFC CC, just too good of a deal IMO. Else, settle for maybe Moto Edge 20 Fusion or Realme GT Master Edition for ~20k after all bank offers.

Me too, I bought it as well. I discharged it to 20% before charging it. 15W charger is a bummer.
One doubt , the camera unit is projected so the risk for scratches or damages are more while keeping the phone in flat surface right..?

Yes, I bought a Spigen case. One delivered yesterday was clearly used one, so ordered a replacement.
