20-25K i need phone recommendation

k660

k660

Forerunner
- even though budget may say 20-25k,
25k is the last resort not one penny more.
10-20k is the real range and tops is 25K.
- old phone is dying/giving issues, it is/was Samsung A50,
- the phone is going to be used by my mother

so, yes,
# checklist use-case wise
--- whatsapp,
--- normal calling,
--- normal messaging is gonna be main goal,
--- jio 4g/lte should be supported
(5g isnt a must but welcome dont worry the 5g generally/normally wont be used,
unless absolutely needed,
cuz 5g can make phones pretty warm pretty quickly )

--- sbi and other bank apps need to work,
(recently sbi ended their support for android 11,
seems like their android 11 app dev went on break and will be on ' agle mangalwaar of 30th of February ')
-------------------
-------------------
# checklist specs-wise
--- Dual SIM is must
--- RAM: 6gb Ram atleast,
(although with exynos 6gb ram feels low ram phone)
--- Internal storage: 128gb storage atleast
--- Battery: 5000mah or more.
(i wish for phones like samsung M51 to return)
--- headphone jack 3.5mm is really really preferred,
--- NO EXYNOS ,
--- NO SAMSUNG manufactured Processors ( e.g. SD 7 gen 1) ,
--- NO overheating/getting too hot issues for no reason ,
--- NO phones with screen issues like green/blue/red line plz
(unless screens are freely replaceable even after warranty)
--- don't care about charging speeds
--- don't care much about cameras either
--------------
(title is clickbait, but good to hear his exp
# motherboard issues this common in one-plus?!,
# i haven't been following smartphone market that much,)
----------------
# Thank You in advance and Pranam to everyone.

I got a poco f6 last week 12gb,256gb for 21k after discounts.
The battery life is avg.

I tested running yt videos(60hz) via jio and was getting an avg sot of 5 to 6hr.
Around 4hr on big games like pubg.

The one con is hyperos which isnt up to my taste.you can always go custom roms route since it has support

Heating is only when doing intensive tasks like gaming or using phone in sunlight.
Tldr- heats as much as any other device

Only 2 updates till A17 left.
Cameras are also good ,that maybe because i havent clicked many photos.
Lemme know if u have any doubts .

If wish to use phone for next 4-5 yrs, better go with 8 GB/256 GB
I read that LCD Mobile (non oled/Poled etc.) never develops Green Line Issue.
If wish to go with OLED etc. good Display phone, any try NO ANDROID UPDATE and it may 90% secure from Green Line, but you need to update APPS /Security etc.
