You can checkout Samsung models. Have great battery backup. 5G models are also available under 16k with both mediatek and snapdragon chipsets. They also provide about 4 years of OS and security updates. So overall would be a good long term investment.

Yes. Currently the best imo in your budget.

On a separate note, is anyone else seeing this: "+ ₹29 Secured Packaging Fee" for mobiles on Flipkart?

Yes, I recently purchased a phone and i was charged that fee, but i didn't get any "Special packaging " . It was just packed as usual.

Have a look at Redmi 10 prime, I got it for my wife just a few weeks back.
I chose it since it is decently good in most of things it offers and the long lasting battery of 6000 mAh is simply great (got it at 9999).
Was also evaluating the Redmi 10T 5G which offers better performance but regular battery (and was 1000 rs higher).

My wife lost 2 mobiles and both were Redmi so now she don't want a Redmi phone

--------------
Any idea about Samsung M13 5G?

Imo screen resolution is a bit low for that screen size but it depends on your requirement. Rest everything is good.
You can check F 23 model also. Might fulfill your budget and needs better.

Does she specifically need Samsung? Like for ACR, or brand preference?

Nothing like only Samsung. No specific brand requirement

They are far better than Samsung. Don't worry about it. Big brands don't care for what problem uou have. I have bad multiple experiences with Samsung. I live in Gujarat. Motorola and Honor were great for me. The products are great from Motorola. The Samsung has stipid issues bundled with new phone while Motorola is just peace of mind.

 

[gopal_agrawal]

Thank you all for the response. I have order Samsung F23 5G.

Person who used Redmi/Mi phone (non -techie) will not like STOCK ANDROID and Moto is nearly on stock android.

You may find Stock Android handset little faster compare to NON-Stock Android, but as said earlier non-techie person didn't mind little slower non-stock android handset.

I came from SRT.Phone (stock android) to Samsung (One UI 3.1 & is NOT STOCK ANDROID), and believe me I'm happy with Samsung.

Samsung have 3-4 yrs GUARANTEED Major Android + Regular Security updates and in today's scenario security is more IMPORTANT, so go with Samsung

PS: my post is just few seconds delayed, so your purchase post, posted earlier than mine ....

Display TFT LCD on Samsung F23.

Yes that is bit let down but was strict on budget

Good choice.
Don't go strictly by technology. Although TFT LCD won't match the contrast and color coverage of an AMOLED but TFT has matured far enough to provide decent experience.
