Less than 10K A phone that doesnt back up screenshots to Google Photos

Mom's used only Samsung upto this point, and Samsung, by default puts screenshots in the DCIM folder, and google photos backs them up. My POCO, running MIUI does the same.
And now with the Google Photos stopping unlimited photos backup, I'm concerned she'll fill up her cloud storage in no time.

This didn't happen in my Honor 8X.
So what phone do we get that fixes this behaviour?

Realme, from what I've heard, also does the same as MIUI.

How are the micromax/motorola phones in this regard?


NOTE: This is due to how the UI handles screenshots. Some UI place screenshots in the DCIM folder, which is automatically backed up by Google Photos and cannot be disabled. Some (like my previous Honor) create a separate sub-folder, the backing up of the contents of which can be disabled.

You can disable backing up of screenshots folder or any other folder from Google photos app. This can be done on any phone.

No. https://techweez.com/2020/03/11/google-photos-one-drive-screenshots-menance/

Cant do option 1, because then the screenshots wont even show in the gaallery, which I want to.
Tried option 3. Doesnt work for me. At all.

Why not simply disable google photo backup completely?

Because I want the actual camera photos to be backed up? Just not screenshots.
