Increase your budget and pick up a Samsung M53. I would have suggested the Motorola G82 with its OIS, but the sensor is really lacklustre and does not support 4K video recording (because of the chipset). Not to mention, Motorola is pretty well-known for their sub-standard cameras. So, I'd say stay away from Motorola if you want a good camera phone.

You may buy a budget phone which genuinely supports GCam. I am personally using GCam on realme GT master edition which i had picked up from Flipkart at a massive discount during their BBD sale last year . The photos are comparable to Google pixel 2xl that my wife had till recently and nearly as good as those clicked on the pixel 6a that my wife currently uses.

The shortlisted Nord CE2 does not have a good cam. Moto is well established for a long time for below-par cameras.

Samsung has generally good cam setup but charges a hefty premium. Redmi Note series comes with bloatware you can remove, the cams are best in that range.

Have a look at the - Realme 9 Pro+ it has one of the best cams (almost flagship quality) ~20k range. You would need some discount, it usually comes down to ~23k. It has a headphone jack too!

if you can compromise on new and battery life requirements, Refurb Pixel 4A's are available for 16K onwards, and 12+ on OLX. Flagship camera quality. ticks all your other boxes too
