25-30k Phone with decent cameras, an aesthetic look and a big battery.

Explorer
Looking for something between 20-30k (can't go above 30k, would prefer if it came under 28k with card offers and all)
New. Online.
Don't want a Motorola phone with the vegan leather back because it feels gross. Trying to avoid big/ugly camera islands as well.
Want a decent camera and battery bigger than 5000 mAh (preferably silicon carbide)


Looking for around 3 years of OS updates at the very least.

Would prefer a chip wtih a decent antutu score (just in case we wanna play Genshin)

Expecting AMOLED (LTPO if possible) in this range

3.5 mm jack would be a bonus

Currently looking at the galaxy A35 or A36 but they don't seem to have the best cameras or battery in the segment.

That's just UI preference.

In my opinion:
Nothing below S24FE is worth buying, similarly, nothing above CMF Phone 2 pro makes sense from Nothing. All Pixels aren't worth buying, Moto Edge 50 neo & Edge 60 pro are good for their respective prices. There are some good Realme & iQoo phones worth buying, like Realme P3 Ultra, & iQoo Neo 10R.

Most of these Chinese phones are not designed with real world usage . While I had a MI phone which was good , the placement of buttons was so stupid . An Example - The display power button was placed on 1 side middle and inadvertently the finger would press the switch and while on calls it used to go to mute mode .

Now battery capacity went to 7500 mAh.
Higher-end models...still not increased battery capacity. Why?

If you get a flagship With all features one ever needs then who will buy their next flagships or other phones?--Think that way. So deliberately they will include 4 features but make you suffer for 1 or 2. Thats business!

If I'm getting the one best phone in the market ticking all boxes- 8k mah battery, 3.5mm + type-c, 1tb space, 32core processor, dual sim with esim, 8k display, sexiest looks and guaranteed 4 yr OS upgrades then I wont look back spending 2lac for such a device as even post 5 yrs i can still root and enjoy roms for a good 3-4 yrs.

from the looks of the discussion NT pro 2 > RealMe P3 > Vivo T4 > Moto edge 60 Fusion > iQoo Neo 10 / Poco F7.

Moto F'ed up on 2 things I think. curved glass which is very weak. saw a video where a 2 meter fall broke the glass. really bad banged phone got replacement parts of around 9.5k as per that video. 2nd is the software. so many people providing feedback on how the UI starts lagging once apps installed and user starts using multiple apps at once.

Samsung S24 FE is attractive but heating issue and poor battery backup can be a killer for many.

paise deke bhi shanti nahi he :banghead:
