Android Smartphone under 30k

[Deleted member 83050]

I am looking to buy a android smartphone under 30k.​

Requirements: ​

1. Decent camera which can capture good pictures in day light.
2. Powerful enough processor so that the phone doesn't lag.
3. Should support fast charging even it is not included in the box.
4. Phone should not be very bulky.
5. I would prefer a clean OS with not a lot of bloatware and bugs.
6. 90/120Hz display is a must.
7. After sales support should be good.

Something to note before suggesting: I am not interested in buying realme, xiaomi, OnePlus and Oppo/Vivo smartphones for obvious reasons. My experience with Motorola has been very poor in the past at their service center so not interested in that too.

Few options shortlisted:​

1. Nothing Phone 1: This phone has some promising specs and is fairly new in the market. Only thing i am skeptical about is the after sales service.
2. Samsung Galaxy S20FE 5G : This is a old sort of flagship phone(atleast with a SD 865 processor) which fits all of my requirements. Available at an effective price of 24k after all discounts on Amazon. The only thing which bugs me is the build quality and the fact that phone is pretty old now(launched in 2021 ig).
3. Pixel 6a: This is the best camera phone in this price segment but comes with a lot of compromises like 60Hz display and buggy Pixel stock ROM. Yes you read it right. My friend using the pixel 4a strongly told me not to buy google phones. Unusually high battery drain, poor network reception and poor battery life. I only shortlisted it because of the camera and clean OS.
4.Sasmung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: This is a newer gen model to the s20 FE 5G with an Exynos processor and better optics. Only thing which is stopping me from getting this phone is the exynos chipset.

Please help me pick a decent one. If you guys have some better suggestions, please let me know. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

20FE has shitty wifi.
21FE has shitty battery and in my experience laggy performance.

The Pixel is a decent phone, but has a short battery life. For high usage, you will have to charge it twice a day

How about the nothing phone 1? phone 2 is out of my budget.

Haven't personally used it, but have heard it is okay. People had some issues at the start, but now they have been patched with software updates. All hearsay though.

Nothing Phone 1 might or might not get the green line issue.

I am currently using NP1.
Also looking to get one for my Dad and thinking of going with Moto Edge 40, given it's light weight and decent battery backup on 60hz.

@Tejas01 how is your experience with phone 1?

Point #7 is hard to get from any vendors, even Samsung
I guess its applicable only for Apple, although Apple also entertains for in warranty phones. For older phones they just suggest to purchase new phones.

I found it good overall. The optimisation is very good for the price bracket.
My only qualm would be the smaller battery size of 4500 mah. Depending on your use case you can either make the whole day or run out of juice. But I won't complain much given that others in the same price bracket are more crap.
