Never buy a Samsung phone with Exynos or say S888/8 Gen 1 (as those 2 are fabbed at Samsung foundry & have same issues as Exynos). Honestly, among current Samsung phones, I recommend just M15 5G for budget buyers for don't want Chinese phones & next good phone is S23 at 50k.

To state the obvious, OP12 is one the best choices around 60k, esp considering size & weight aren't an issue.

Moto & Xiaomi have too slow updates to be worth paying 35k+. OP is a more premium brand over iQoo & Realme from BBK's camp. Oppo & Vivo are always a poor value for money choice because of higher margins for middlemen (can blindly ignore them at any price segment IMO). UI for all BBK phones are similar, so they will always be inferior to Samsung, Nothing & Pixel's UI for me. NP3 with 8 Gen 2 would have been a compelling choice but alas it does not exist. Pixel uses SoCs fabbed at Samsung fab, so poor efficiency.

iPhone 15 is available @71.5k on flipkart, checks everything that you need, older models are even cheaper. It's a no brainer if you are willing to step outside of the android world.

It has Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (Latest) with 16 GB RAM + 512 GB Storage. All that for 60,400 INR. And there is that extra 8584 off which you may make use of. I think there are CC discounts to be applied.

Iphone 15 is regularly available around 60-62 on flipkart on regular sales. You just have to check regularly for 15-20 days and get 10000 saved.

Please reply. Thank You.

There is Xiamo 14 Pro that's expected to launch soon. Specs wise its kind of similar to the already launched Oneplus 12 5G so I don't know if its even worth waiting for it when you can get oneplus like right now.
Not a big fan of oneplus anymore (I have a oneplus 7) but there's not really that many options in high end segment here in India.

Summer sale in early May was the last decent sale, next big sale will be in Oct. 15 Aug may warrant a small sale, but usually it is smaller than May sale.
