I was looking for a phone for office use and found the Lenovo K10 Note to be great bang for the buck. It was only SD710 phone I could find for under 10k.

It doesn't have Android 10 yet, nor does it have a dedicated SD slot, but the battery life is good, and the display is excellent. Camera is a surprise revelation in optimal lighting conditions.

Best part is No Ads, like Xiaomi and a 3.5mm jack!

4GB, 64GB is what I got for 9k.

As always, I use a degoogled phone. Thanks to ADB, so battery life is further improved.
