This is for my aunt, who bought a Samsung a14 phone in this past BBD for about 9k i think. Two days ago the phone was stolen. (The theif then didn't waste any time and drained about 80k from her bank accounts through numerous upi txns).

Anyway, now she's looking for another Samsung phone lol. Please suggest some cheap ones. Like 10k budget maybe. 128gb required. Shouldn't be unusably slow. Thanks.

PS: I see that there are no bank offers currently going on on Flipkart or Amazon. Any other place having any offers on Samsung atm?

Budget Samsung phones are generally bad, but if people want to waste money on bad products nonetheless, nothing much you can do.

Try to buy the new Samsung M16 5G, at least the 6GB variant, effectively 12.4k. Dimensity SoCs are fabbed at TSMC, not Samsung fab (known for inefficient SoCs like Exynos). Else get Samsung M06 for closer to 10k, same SoC, but inferior display mainly.

Well she used the same pin for login and txn on gpay. So they had to crack just one. But how did they do that is beyond me. Is there a reset pin option? Maybe they did that. She did not block the sim until at least 18 hrs later. So during that duration they used the phone as their own. 26 txns they made. Ffs. Even bought a mobile (I am assuming) from Flipkart.

Anyway. Yes she needs a samsung because they are the only company with automatic call recording. Otherwise would have gone for the moto g35.

I'm aware. No matter how much I try to convince her to not go for Samsung entry levels she won't listen. Her main requirement is that automatic call recording feature without announcement. If any other company provided that like Samsung she wouldn't mind going for it.

I understand, my father used to be like that so I have personally experienced what brand cultists are like.

various brand started auto call record don't know if they announce about or make beep sound (Samsung didn't make anything while silently recording the call).
Oppo too have same future as Samsung (don't know with latest Oppo/Vivo model)
Infinix Note 50x (5G+), to launch by 3rd April with FK and there are some video about Features of same model on YouTube, search and watch about Anonymous Phone Call Record feature.
Stay away from Brand that have Pure Android (Motorola, Google etc.) as I suspect they allow for such Anonymous call records.

just update after watching YouTube Video .. here

Both Infinix Note 50x (5G+) and Vivo T4x have anonymous call record.

Your Aunt will surely like Infinix Note 50x AI Features & 13 5G Bands & (VoNR) (lots of features provided by Infinix latest OS.. much Polished & Improved as per all YouTubers video on this model)

Trust me, samsung and low budget doesn't work for long term. They tend to be sluggish. Bought 4 m35 last year for my relatives who wanted samsung and when I checked recently, it's slow as hell. I bought those in 13-14k each.
