Nope. Using a potato exynos SoC on my secondary device for the past 3.5 years, don't notice any lag apart from the usual 2-3s for apps to load. Ppl have a weird understanding of Exynos chips.

Samsung F14.

Recently launched, got one as a backup phone for home. Quite nice. LCD display, other than that, it is probably the best option.

Stock UI (technically not stock but what most people refer to) as in Moto is quite limited. Esp if one is coming from other UIs like MIUI or OneUI. Sammy One UI has improved dramatically.

You need to debloat the F14 a bit.

How can i apply my company GSTIN number if ordering from flipkar/amazon (using personal login information)
Company requires same, I found online deals better for my requirements comparatively.

So far 3 phones coming under my budget: All are 5G + 6gb/128 gb and comes with exchange offer, I can additionally claim GST.
Samsung Galaxy F14 5G ₹15,990
realme 10 Pro 5G ₹18,999
REDMI 11 Prime 5G ₹16,106 (only this does not has exchange offer, kindly help finding this)

Which should be best among above 3 Or any other alternatives if you can suggest

Skip the 10 pro and 11 prime. Realme uses the Google app for calling, so you'd be better off going with a moto for the same price. Poco X5 is uses MIUI as well, and is one of the more feature packed phone here.

Exynos and good-battery life does not go hand-in-hand. Hence, avoid any Exynos-oriented chipset (such as Samsung F14/A14/M14) like plague if your primary criteria is good battery life.

Instead, take a look at the Samsung F23 5G 6GB/128GB. Comes with a Snapdragon 750G chipset, so you can enjoy better battery life, thermals, and longevity, while also having one of best cameras under 20K INR. And yeah, Samsung phones do come with call-block feature from unsaved numbers.

When using Flipkart, click on GST Invoice during checkout. For Amazon, you need to make a separate business account to make business-related purchases.

Does that means buying from personal account, I can use GSTIN benefits with same email address..

Yes. On Flipkart, you can claim credit using the same email address. Just enter the GSTIN and company name during checkout by checking GST Invoice. However, for Amazon Business, you will require a separate email address than your regular Amazon account (preferably your work email), for creating an account and placing the order.

No need to use Google Dialler on Realme phones. Install ODialer (Oppo dialler) and you can record any calls as needed. These guys released t as a standalone app after seeing Samsung pickup sales with one of the attractions being call recording without announcements.
