Hi All, I want to purchase an Android phone with Android 11 installed. Are Android 11 phones available for purchase here in India? Either online or in a store. Thanks. Cheers.
 
Wait a month for new devices or go with any newly launched Android 10 in this budget. Companies will clear the stock this month as they have been failing to clear the stocks from last 2 months.

Realme X3 should be available for around 22k when a sale like BBD comes, so you can buy that one. I have been using it for a couple of months now and quite happy with it, the screen issues are overblown. For me, I drive too many apps and parallel spaces, so a capable processor was a must for me

Why not buy aa good android 10 phone which has guaranteed 2+OS updates for coming years and yes there are custom roms as well...
I like to get a phone with the new OS early in the cycle so I can maximize the time when I'll have a current OS. I can wait a few months (hopefully my battery will last...;)). Thanks.

Great. Thanks. I made a note to keep an eye for the Realme X3. Cheers.
 
I found out the Samsung A71 comes with Android 10 and *3* years of updates. Wow. I purchased it.
Sorry to burst your bubble, doesn't matter if Samsung provides 3 or 5 years because their skin is so heavily customised (and utter garbage at it) it's beyond recognition. One might as well use A11 and it will still feel like A05. Same applies to all other heavily customised skins.

Simple. If you have so much problem with customized skins buy an android phone which has either vanilla android or close to that. That is the best thing in android, you have all the options. You don't have to be tied into what you don't like. Op liked it so he bought it. He had the choice to buy from many different android experiences where most now provide long term support, which is the imp thing imo.

On top of that, if you are still not satisfied, just install pixel experience or untinkered android os on your phone.

Sorry to bust your bubble but your information is completely outdated. Samsung skins have improved hugely over past couple of years to the point that now Samsung has the best stylus apps and functionalities in the industry for its note phones and tablets. I still hear people touting android is slow. Their knowledge is based on android eclairs which was almost 10 years ago now. Just because it was once true doesn't make it an eternal fact. I personally, don't like Samsung but I don't want to decide for others and state my opinion as a fact

Ofcourse it is not for everyone which is where android shines. Just go and buy one which works for you.

If it sounds like too much work deciding what you want in life!! (imagine being that person) , then one can become an isheep and let some fruity company decide their life for them.

I just like to be independent and don't see the effort in day to day independence as effort but a privilege.[/b]

While I prefer stock Android, I was not able to get one in the time frame I needed. I've played around a lot with recent Samsung phones and their skin works just fine for me. I'm adaptable. Except for Pixels, I found no other phone that says they give 3 years of updates. And in my experience Samsung hardware is very good quality. If anyone knows of another Droid phone besides Pixels and Sammy that gives 3 yrs OS updates, let me know. Thx. And thx to all for all your helpful replies. This looks like a good forum.
