Deal of the day: Samsung Galaxy M33 5G (Deep Ocean Blue, 8GB, 128GB Storage) | 6000mAh Battery | Upto 16GB RAM with RAM Plus | Travel Adapter to be Purchased Separately https://amzn.eu/d/feYQcDQ
 
Redmi k50i at 19,999
Missing only super amoled.
Any suggestions?
Ticks almost all the boxes. However the software can give some issues, POCO offers a better optimized MIUI. Recommend you to steer clear from the Redmi Note series, my friend owned the 9 series and the phone gave up in less than an year.

check out poco x4 pro. the 6/128gb variant was selling for 15k, pretty solid phone all around and a vibrant custom rom community supporting it as well!

I would recommend moto g71 5g since I bought it for my dad.

Pros:
Good UI(Nearly stock Android)
Good battery life(Nearly 2 days)
Good amoled display.

Cons:
No compass sensor(sometimes had problem in maps in deciding which direction we were facing).

If you can ignore this major con, i would definitely recommend g71.
 
G62 can overcome the absence of compass sensor in g71.
Yeah but i bought it 2 months ago and I guess this g62 wasn't launched back then and also it doesn't have amoled( can't comment on difference of screen between them, coz I haven't seen a g62 in person yet. Honestly i liked Samsung's TFT display's colors on f23 better than on g71. I believe everyone should goto their nearby store where this phones are on display to try and see which phone's screens are better suited for them.
 
Wait for Black Friday sale, Realme GT neo 3T, 6/128 should be available at around 20k. It is similar to GT neo 2 which I have, and its blazing fast, also great haptic motor, beats all. Software is also good (color OS)

+1 for this in terms of software and MOST of the hardware. Most because the one other con I felt is the placement of the google assistant button.
The just had to put in right above the volume keys (while the power button is right below) so at least in the few moments I used it, I often accidentally clicked that button and activated assistant.
