Very Moderate User. Currently using Redmi 3S Prime and if not for an accidental fall causing a significant crack in the screen and not getting screen replacement easily, would have probably dragged in another year or two with this. Absolute no use of camera, except to maybe take a picture of something to send to someone like document or something. Not a gamer. Used to play games like Temple Run - but now, I do not have a single game in my phone. I sometimes watch media on mobile, but its mostly its on Streaming services on TV. My brother has been using the Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt and I loved the Super Amoled there. Want to keep the new device a bit future proof considering my last phone completed 4+ years, I would like to have 6 GB RAM & 128 GB Storage. All new phones are heavy tipping 200g - I would have liked to keep it around 150-160g which is very tough.
Price Points:
Preferred Limit : 10k Soft Limit : 15k Hard Limit 20k
Phones I have shortlisted, keeping the upcoming sale discount in mind and the criteria I have set. I have the required cards so should be able to get 10% if I am able to get the device in hand.
Poco M2: This is what I feel is most close to what I am having and fits well into my preferred budget of 10-11k. Wont have Super Amoled, has emmc storage, performance I presume will be ok-ish. I get to retain IR Blaster and overall its decent (I also heard ads are less/none compared to Redmi 9 Prime, of which this is a clone)
Samsung M21/Samsung F41 : Clearly may not be the best in performance, but gets me an SAmoled in around 15k with 6/128 combo.
Oppo F17: Its more of a left field choice. Considering the performance is below par & I guess is more for the offline market. And too expensive for what it gives around 15k. But its slim and lightweight and I prefer to keep the phone mid-sized & lighter. And actually I would prefer a smaller sized phone in itself then the 6" ones - but cannot seem to find anything.
Realme 7 Pro : Its the most expensive & probably the most preferred in terms of performance. I believe it meets most of my needed criteria and many would probably recommend this But it also is the most expensive of the lot. So need to think about that
To people who intend to suggest some devices - If you are going to suggest something at say 16k, but does not have SAmoled, then I might say - hey If I have to let go of SAmoled , I might as well go for Poco M2. So the point I am trying to make is, each of these have been chosen as to they offer something that is more for the price is being paid.
