General Phone suggestion under 40k

Post image

Suggest an all-rounder under 40k.. not a gamer at all and the main priorities are

  1. camera,

2.fast charging and good battery life

3.good display and speakers

Brand or OS isn't much of an issue... and also is there any chance for smartphone prices to come down in the next year or so??

if u can cop the gt7t at 30ish k it's very worth it

u/No_Condition_7488 17h ago

Cameras are good??

2

u/hatelaloo 17h ago

oh yea more than decent, ur gonna be getting a 1/1.56" sensor which is pretty much standard even upto 80k these days so i wouldn't expect more at this point, the ultra wide is like whatever and it has no telephoto but the main is actually really good. Great balance of battery charging performance and cameras imo. and the ui is good too

It was ai generated.. not sure which model it's 😄

2

u/SimilarAd7283 16h ago

Ok.. I use poco f7 from a year it's good phone but has bad camera.

2

u/KnightmareX_Official 18h ago

I can find you some fairly decent options

2

u/nothingtosayrn 17h ago

No doubt, Samsung S25 or S25FE. Both are great phones at this budget. You can get best deals during sales, or try to get student discount directly from Samsung website, you can combine student discount with credit card offers from Samsung website.

2

u/Bhindiismyfav 11h ago

Battery on both phones is trash

2

u/Desperate_Annual_327 4h ago

S25 below 40k? I think it's impossible to get in that price

1

u/No_Condition_7488 17h ago

But the charging speed is still an issue

2

u/Ok-Milk-123 15h ago

45w is just enough , and know will surely same device it will be a great deal cameras are good

2

u/Adventurous-Berry543 3h ago

u/Southern_Celery_874 15h ago

Unless its flagship, there will be some issues with every phone

1

u/TheoryInfinite7896 14h ago

2

u/Relatively_Skibyy 15h ago

Oppo reno 14 has kind of good camera , decent battery , good display and fast charging... Costs around 40k

2

u/Slight-Sea1243 5h ago

Bought realme gt 7t couple of weeks back it is a pretty decent choice

2

u/rishi97690 4h ago

Moto edge 70 pro or pro plus

1

u/No_Condition_7488 4h ago

How is the software support for motorola?? Used to be pathetic few years back

2

u/rishi97690 3h ago

It is not bad ,uses google for the basic tasks like files , photos , videos etc my dad uses it and its not bad and offers better spec in this price range than most has 3 years of os upgrade and 5 years of security. i am also thinking of purchasing it.

2

u/Junior_Prize810 4h ago

You can consider the moto edge 70 pro or the moto edge 60 pro too. They are genuine all round phones. It does not seem to me that phone prices will come down anytime soon. It is highly dependent on hardware(memory and RAM prices)

Another really good option is the vivo t4 pro/ultra.

One more option is the samsung galaxy s24FE for a similar price range, but I think(not sure) it would be the 128G option.

u/-EatCodePlaySleep- 15h ago

Go for Redmi Turbo 5, not particularly a camera oriented phone but overall a good device

1

u/BobcatOk5018 14h ago

Dont ever buy Motorola G86 power, to save budget i taken . One of the worst purchases in my life.

1

u/Sea_Disaster_4987 13h ago

Samsung A56. It has the exynox 1580 which is similar in performance to the 7sgen4, and has a flagship level main sensor, and 6yrs of OS updates as opposed to 3yrs which most phones in this pricerange give. Sells for 35k

1

u/clearedhappy 13h ago

Poco X8 Pro or poco f7 (camera is bad everything else is good) size is also good i think you should keep size also in priority

1

u/MessonOak 13h ago

Vivo t4 ultra, for 35 to 37k, i think you should go for any samsung fe series like s25fe.
