Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a phone in the ₹20–30k range. Lower is better, but I’m open to extending a little if it’s really worth it. Open to both new and used options.

Primary use: WhatsApp, YouTube, email. Looking for a good camera as I am travelling soon and would like to take good photos and videos. I don’t game, but I’d prefer something that can last at least 3–4 years.

Must-haves:
  • Good battery life
  • NFC

Nice-to-haves:
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • No notch/punch-hole (I like fullscreen displays)
  • Expandable storage

Phones I’ve already considered:
  • Xiaomi 14 CIVI (new)
  • Pixel 7 Pro (refurb, Ovantica)
  • Xperia 1 IV (refurb, Ovantica)
  • Samsung S23 (used, local)

Thanks in advance!
Also wanted to ask if Ovantica is a trusted site?
