Broke one of our phones today during journey. Need to buy a phone in a couple of days.

Please suggest any good phones within 15k-20k.

I've considered Samsung M34, but it's almost a year since it was released and processor is almost 2 years old in that 15k range.
For a slightly more budget, Oneplus Nord CE 4 is available for 23.5k, but has Panda glass as protection. Has anyone bought this phone?

Only interested in brands that have no nonsense OS, so poco, xiaomi, etc are out of question. and better warranty/service so probably moto/vivo are out.
So considering that, Samsung and oneplus seems possible choices.

I don't care abt gaming performance. Decent camera and battery life, less heating, a very good display and no hang/lag issues are the needs.

Let me know ur suggestions.

Get OP Nord CE4, solid allrounder under 25k. OP's UI is better than Xiaomi, but still it is Color OS now, not the old clean Oxygen OS. For UI, get Nothing 2a. If you are in a Tier 1/2 city, support shouldn't be a big issue.

Samsung phones have poor SoCs & a notch, else can live with other limitations like 25W charging, no charger in box, etc.

The only thing I'm worried about Nord CE4 is, it doesn't have Gorilla glass protection.. Redmi atleast gave that in redmi note 13 pro, but that os is garbage.

+1 for Nothing Phone 2a if not brought already. It is a jack of all, master of none. Personally using Nothing Phone 1 and I can say I am very impressed with Nothing phones and the brand in general.

Oxygen OS is basically Color OS and my friend recently got the Nord CE3. Not impressed with the OS. The phone is better than CE4 physically.

Isn't it buggy? No matter what youtube video I see about nothing phone 2a, they keep saying there are bugs. Besides ce4 seems better in battery, display and processor.

2a has gotten 4 updates since the launch and 90% bugs have been sorted out. Only thing now is camera which still needs some optimisation.

Any popular reviewer who has criticised 2a initially has been singing praises as they did a 15-30 days review and they have mentioned that the the phone has become quite good.

If you are looking for a spec hungry phone, then Nothing is not a choice. There are other brands available if you want a demanding phone, mostly gaming. Nothing phones are about optimising the existing hardware to get the best from it.
