Hello all,

Want to buy any phone with SD 8s Gen3 under 30k
Please give suggestions. Thanks.
I was seeing Iqoo Neo 10 R and I don't save anything on the phone permanently and that's why am eyeing 8GB/128GB but should I go for 8GB/256GB one instead just in case to be safe.
Also I will exchange my present Realme 11 Pro+ 8GB/256GB with the buying phone and pay the rest.
Also noticed that my present phone discharges the battery much quicker and I have to charge the battery multiple times. I previously bought a Samsung phone in 2019 used until 2023 but it did not discharge like Realme is doing but Samsung phone became sluggish over time. With Realme while opening the camera or taking pictures it lags a lot.
In 2018 I bought a Motorola One phone which display broke when it fell 3 feet down 3 steps and while I went for replacement they said it's physical damage and took 2k for replacement in 2019 and again it happened and I bought Samsung which was very good regarding its display quality.
I am a bit hesitant now whether to go with Realme or Samsung or Motorola?

See, every phone is different. You can have a vast gap between the display quality of two phones from the same company. Best to watch a couple of long term reviews for the particular device, and see for yourself if it's good. You might even find durability test for some

Yes absolutely.
Is there any performance difference between SD 7s Gen3 and SD 8s Gen3?

7s gen 3 is good for day to day usage but very weak compared to 8s gen 3. I assume you are taking about 7+ gen 3. If yes, then 8s gen 3 is 5-10% better in cpu and gpu performance than 7+ gen3. Not that big of a gap to be noticeable

Is there a particular reason why you're going for the SD8G3?

Unless you're gaming on your smartphone, it would be overkill.

Really? I am not gaming on my phone but my present phone is lagging a lot while doing common tasks like browsing or seeing videos or taking photos. Thats why.
How is Nothing phone 3? It comes with SD7s Gen3.
I need a strong display and no lagging.

Nothing Phone 3 isn't out yet.
NP 3a is out though.

My mom uses the 2a. It has a slightly weaker Mediatek chip but is still quite snappy.
3a should be plenty fast too.

Nothing's OS is also quite optimized, unlike Chinese phones and low end Samsungs, which can be bloated.

That said, if you can wait, then NP3 should launch this July.
It'll probably be more expensive than 30k, but would be a much better phone than the NP 3a.

EDIT: There's also NP 3a Pro if you want a better camera system (although everything else is the same).

Nothing Phone 3a is a good option. Don't go for 3a pro, not worth the extra money
Phone 3 will cost above 40k, so definitely out of budget

have you thought about buying Poco Phones they're powerpacked and you can use for half an decade easily with Custom ROMs.
also getting a good processor Mobile should be a priority these days as AI integration into the OS is getting denser by latest OS Updates.
I'm Still using Redmi Note 10 pro ( Front Cam dead tho) only thing stopped me from upgrading is Lack of Memory card+ dual sim slots and headphone jack in Newer Phones. I think companies should provide Esim + sdcard + single Physical sim slot or dual physical sim slots+ sdcard slot.

They don't have good battery life. Too much skewed towards raw performance, leaving much to desire in other aspects.
Also, Xiaomi and as an extension poco has made it really hard to unlock bootloader, so custom rom is also iffy

My wifes phone is Poco X6 and it's battery is like mine to some extent.

All I've heard is good stuff about Nothing's OS Optimization and user experience. so it's definitely worth buying, but I suggest wait a few weeks for more reviews on 3a regarding it's hardware and display quality etc.

The chip on a smartphone isn't the only factor that may result in day-to-day lag. It also has to do with OS/launcher optimization, memory management, and the quality of storage used (to a lesser degree)

You can consider Poco f6 if you are okay with a basic camera.

Goes for around 21k for 8/256 on Flipkart and had SD 8s Gen3

Display and battery life is amazing. OS is pretty good too. Only lacking area is camera. Not a great camera, but you are paying only 21k for a powerhouse.

Nothing CMF Phone 2 is going to be released in April and rumoured to have SD 7s Gen3. Should I wait for this then?
Because Poco F6 is indeed good but will have only 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of Security Updates due to it being released in 2024.
