of these 2, get the Redmi Note 12 Pro.

Found an issue Auth 12 pro having glass body at back..

It has a flat Gorilla Glass 5 protecting its display and another flat glass on the back.

 

[singenaadam]

The glass back is considered a premium feature! You didn't mention that you don't want a glass back.

The only issue with glass is it can crack during a fall. Other than that the feel is very premium. Since these 2 are both available offline, suggest you go to any shop & check out the feel. It will make things clearer.

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.

Would this dialler work on a Pixel phone which doesn't have call recording feature enabled?

You may not be able to download Oppo dialler on Pixel device from the Play Store.
It will tell you - this app is not compatible with your device.
Just check on Play Store if the Oppo dialler is available for you to download.
The reason it works on Realme phones is probably because they are of the same company.
If it is available, then it should work. Try and let us know.

Try to find a Galaxy m51 in decent condition. It has 7000mah battery with AMOLED display and snapdragon chip set with decent performance still. I am using one as my main phone since 1.5 years without any issues. still getting 12 hours of average screen on time. Still performing great without any hiccups or lags, still have that mid range performance. M51 is heavy(213gm) and large(6.7 inch screen) though (An iphone 13 pro max weights more than m51).

There are some other Samsung otions too with 6000mah and 720p+displays which may give same or more battery performance like m31 with exynos chip set. I took the m51 because of the snapdragon chip set and i am happy till now. In my experience, exynos chip set on samsung are bad in the mid range category.

yes, change the default dialler app. it is direct from Play store.

@Futureized you can certainly go for MOTOROLA G62 5G it has all you needed including that call block feature. No bloatware like redmi, realme.

Thanks, did not find 8gb / 256 GB in this and prefer buying from Amazon.
Not many reviews as well.
