25-30k Looking for a camera centric phone

[wakkun]

My budget is around 30K more or less and I'm looking to order the phone online.

I am looking for a phone for my sister, she likes taking pictures for social media.

I want to get a phone with a good camera and at least 256GB of storage. Fast charging would be a plus.

Not interested in - Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo.

FYI - The last phone she has was an S20 FE 5G

I like the specs, but the curved screen is the only thing holding me back. I can't let her use a phone without a tempered glass. Butter fingers.

It is not bulky like samsung, the width is lesser, also tempered glass are available. Walk into reliance digital and check the phone.

Oppo & Vivo are aimed at the offline market and are priced higher.

For camera - other than the Moto mentioned above (previous Moto cams had notorious reputations) Samsung and Pixel are the best. Pixels have heating & signal issues. Increase your budget slightly and look at Samsung S23FE; else recently launched A55.

I don't think any phone other than Pixel 7a or S23FE can trump S20FE's camera setup. I compared my S20FE with OP11R, primary rear cam was similar, other rear cams were better on S20FE & selfie cam was better on 11R. Pixels & S23FE suffer from poor efficiency SoC, hence not recommended.

IMO continue using S20FE, especially considerin it is the S865 variant. It's still a good phone.

Else Moto edge 50 seems like a good option.

On MKBHD blind camera test, Pixel 7a scored the highest from what I remember. That and 7 years of security updates.
