20-25K i need phone recommendation

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.
 
Prior to June 2020 nearly all brands was good either with actual product & with after sales service too.

But all changed after covid & India China stand off at Galwan, how suddenly drop in quality of products that India exporting from China, is it by chance or purposefully by China?
 
A55 is bulky 213 gram & with Exynos Processor, Big no for me if I'm in market and want to buy Samsung.
Check OPPO, they really making good handset (but not much OS Updates.. Oppo really need to start offering 4-5 Yrs. OS Updates)
You're the one who said to get a Samsung so why are you recommending to get something else?

Exynos or not won't matter to his mother. Previous was exynos too.

What samsung phone should he get?
