Upgrading from my Poco M5 (4G) phone.

Just want a simple reliable phone that'll get me through my day.

Just got a gaming laptop, so I won't game on it.

Bonus points if it's got a protective case in the box.

IMO a good nonsense option at under 15k (after CC discount), has big battery + close to stock android UI + 256GB storage (IMO 8/256GB is must have now) + 3.5mm jack
Cons are slow charging & boots Android 14 (will get Android 15, if it hasn't already)

iQOO Z10x 256GB will be 15.8k after CC discount, has slightly better performance, battery & charging with Android 15 to boot. Vivo's UI is not the best but will be ok (better than Xiaomi IMO).

Surprising to see iQOO Z10x & Vivo T4X at the same price, usually the latter is more expensive. I observed that Oppo & Vivo have become more price competitive recently. Earlier Oppo & Vivo were a blind no from me (Realme/OP/iQoo were always cheaper).

Including bank offers. You know with offers, price fluctuates everyday like gold.
Z10X base variant 12750/-
Vivo T4x base variant costs 13500/-

Until I started looking for phones, all BBK brands were not in my radar. Poco/Moto/Samsung were the only brands I considered up until that time.
