25-30k Any phone with SD 8s Gen3 under 30k

[bssunilreddy]

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?

13r has 8 gen3, poco f6 has "8s" gen3. They might sound similar but the different is about 40 to 60% in favor of the 8 gen3. Plus its more efficient.

Now I have owned Poco F6 for 6 months and its a great phone at the current price. I know people have said its camera is average but I think its better than most people expect. Xiaomi has done great optimization with the camera and in my experience it consistently produced better picture than a 12r and s20fe ( other phones that I had at the same time). The performance is great, the phone is light, bezels are slim, looks great from the front but the battery life is quite average especially compared to 12r or other recent phones with larger batteries and ltpo displays. But it still last you 1 day with 5-6 hr usage.

Good then. But it's only available from Flipkart which I dread the most.
Flipkart come for exchange and after tests taken the old phone back & give the new phone to me and afterwards send a message saying that they can't give the amount they told and start deducting the EMIs from the next month onwards at a higher rate. Bastards. Very unprofessional.
But amazon comes checks and tells them and there about the value they are going to give and hand over the new phone and deduct the EMIs accordingly.
Poco F6 8GB/256GB is 23k now in Flipkart and they are giving just 11k for my phone if it has a box or else 8.5k only. Remaining through EMIs they are saying but they won't stand on their words.
I have to explain to my wife about the change in EMIIs also if they change from what they said now.
Last time they said 10k but gave 6k only for exchange value.

Wow! this is a new level of scamming. No wonder have heard people avoiding FK off late. So, effectively, you have to play the great Indian lottery and hope and pray that everything will go off well after your purchase.

Two times I bought from Flipkart by exchanging my old phones and getting new ones. Both times they did the same thing. It's their custom. They won't reveal in front of me. They will simply send a mail saying that EMI charges got increased after I have opened the new phone the next day and simply start deducting from next month onwards.

What is the value you are getting on Cashify?

But Cashify isn't able to give me EMI purchase. It's denying in the end even after looking after my Experian score. I don't know why. I never defaulted any EMIs until now where I almost took phones for 8 times on EMIs either for me or my family. And also took 5 50k loans from multiple vendors and repaid them on time. Now I have some 3.3k for american tourister bag combo 2 more EMIs left on Amazon. Thats all.

Hello,
to all of you.

How's Realme GT6?, as it also has 8s Gen3 Processor, although its base model is little expensive than the Budget. Please share your views.

Yeah, same here. I’ve also had bad experiences with Flipkart when it comes to exchange and delivery. Very unreliable and not transparent at all.
Also you could wait for the IQOO Z9 Turbo,since iqoo phones are generally known for their perfomance.

If you are considering a poco, check olx and marketplace, pocos are common, especially among the broke ass college going, bgmi playing, Swiggy delivering crowd who perennially have 'money problems'. I know a couple of them who when they need some quick cash, buy an expensive phone on EMI and flip it at a steep discount for cash. For them it sure beats going to the local money lender, and for us as long as there are no admin apps or imei blacklist a good deal.
I got my poco f5 for 15k or so last year this way. Crap camera but perfect in every other way

Flipkart 99% of the time dont give the exchange value which they show at the time of placing order. Three of my friends have faced the same issue in past few months.

A TE member here is selling his Pixel 7 bought in 2023 for 18k. Does this phone at this price is good?

Absolutely It is for a camera phone, it runs in tensor, so no way can it come close to sd 8 gen 3, also it all comes down to spares, the older the device, the sooner the replacement spares are not available

Edited as pixels all are amazing camera phones & din't consider the processor req originally asked.

Yes this is also right. If that phone battery goes kaput then I am done for. I won't be able to withstand my wifeys pestering & nagging. It will be hell for me.

Batteries are replaceable, other parts, not as much, first replace the thin skin & get otters or even of a honey badger!

Is it the same processor or did I pick the other one cleverly named similar on purpose?

Ensure that the phone is not locked in anyway, due to non payment of EMI or anything.

Xiaomi spare parts are amongst the cheapest, BKK devices are quite expensive usually. Pixels are on a different level altogether.
@OP - Get F6 - its a good phone. Using it with HyperOS 2.x and works great now. With earlier had heating issues.
