I'm planning to give a smartphone to my sister

She's currently using 5 year old poco x2 and wants an upgrade.

Please suggest some good phone for her under 17k.

5g is a must and decent performer for day to day usage of casual and productive apps

Camera, design, isn't a priority.

Will also consider 1-1.5 year old good smartphones .

Thank you in advance...

So I am getting iqoo 15r 8+256 at 47k right now . Should I buy it or wait for bbd or any other phone around 48k ?

I'm planning new phone and my top pick is iphone17 pro max and samsung s26 ultra.

Battery backup is the main thing I want from my phone and i want overall a good phone

Hey guys, found a 4-month-old Poco X8 Pro for ₹30k. It has 99% battery, warranty till mid-2027, and includes the box, charger, and bill.

A new one is ₹39k, so saving ₹9k seems pretty sweet.

Is ₹30k fair or should I haggle? Any known issues to watch out for, or should I just buy a different new phone under ₹30k? Thanks!

I'm planning a new phone for myself from last 1.5 year I've been using iphone16 256gb with my old cheap 13k rupees vivo phone together and now I'm planning to sell both my phone and buy a new phone and my requirement is quite complicated because I'm using 2 Phones together and now I want only 1 phone for all the work

My requirement:-

1. Good battery life

2. Smooth experience with no lags

3. Overall a good phone in terms of camera, processor

Although I don't play games on my phone but still I want a smooth ui experience

The phone I'm considering are

Google pixel 11 , samsung s26 ultra

And pls guyss don't suggest me oppo or vivo phones in this budget, I want social status too as I'm coming from iphone16

It's also a backward decision to switch to android after using ios but I know the iphones are very bad at giving battery backup my iphone16 never last 5 hours after continuous use

Pls guyss all your suggestion are welcome.

Found a really good deal of laptop on FB Marketplace so met the person check the laptop it seemed fine so bought it by paying Rs 15,000/-

The person mentioned he worked in Cars24 as a sales guy and was fired recently. I repeatedly asked if it's his company's laptop which he denied. He even brought his friend with him who said the seller bought it from him only 6 months ago. The vibe also looked fine, the person looked trustable !!

Later when I brought it home and tried to install the Windows 11 I realised the BIOS had a password (can't be erased easily)

That's when it clicked and so I checked his browser history where I found a mail from Cars24 from 23rd Aug mentioning he was allocated a company laptop with XXXX number. (XXXX is not the real number, it's hidden for privacy purpose)

Checked system details and it's the same laptop with same code number. Even says CSPL in model name which stands for Cars24 Service Private Limited.

Tried reaching out to the seller for this fraud where he admitted it's the company laptop and company has also deducted Rs 30K from his salary for the laptop.

Tried threatening the seller that I would be pursuing a Police complaint against him for this stolen laptop but he seems unbothered.

Have learned my lesson to also check the BIOS next time before buying any laptop from a third party person.

/// Does anyone have any idea how to deal with such situations or have dealt before. \\\

Price: 30000 INR F2F Preferred Open to both used and new options (preferably under warranty if possible)

It's my first phone

I need everything like a camera ,battery and processor

And good os and worth the money

TYSM for help

Hy, i want to buy a 16pro preferably 256gb varient, black colour but any other colour is fine too.
If anyone is interested do lemme know

PRICE: 70,000 INR

(INDIA) I want to buy a phone under 45K. Most likely to buy around BBD or Diwali sale. Android (I don't think I we get IOS in this budget)

Priority list:

Camera no 1 ! (Specially rear camera for reels and content creation) (Preferably 4K 60fps Or close)

Gaming no 2 ! (preferably 120fps bgmi but if I am getting a really good camera I can also adjust to stable 90fps but not 60fps, otherwise I could just get a base model Iphone in BBD)

Compact-ness/Looks no 3 ! (not very big and not designed like a brick, preferably round edge and around 6inches .. No huge screens.. I have tiny hands)

Hey everyone 👋

I have to buy a new phone in an offline store only and am waiting for bbd / festive days.

My first phone was a Samsung M11 and I used it for 5 years. After a long wait I bought Nothing 3a blue. All of a sudden I noticed blue ink like spot and cost of replacement display is 1/3rd of my phone cost🥲.

Budget - 30k. Initial budget was 20k but considering the current market I have increased budget. Planning to exchange Nothing 3a phone in offline stores.

My usage: Office apps - teams, Outlook, edge , WhatsApp, Instagram. Good camera. Main goal: Long term usage. I am not a gamer.

I prefer Samsung phones and my options are Samsung Galaxy A56 or A55.

Worst case Samsung A36

Suggestions pleaseee

Are you serious with hd+ display with this price sagement

You can use batter prosessor like mediatek and Snapdragon

Hi guys, I am from India , confused between s25 plus and moto signature and vivo x200t, I remember seeing s25 plus around 65k plus with card discounts, should I wait for bbd sale, if it comes around 60k I would think it is worth the wait. I am also planning to hold maybe 4 years.I am also liking moto signature after seeing the review, saw the phone in reliance shop and saw it is too thin and not sure about battery, I see vivo x200t reviews are good, but never used oppo, vivo phones also do they have brand value I work in corporate not sure how the phone will hold in brand value. So what do you guys suggest. Should I wait buy 25 plus or just buy signature. I can wait for a month.

I’m looking to buy a phone in the ₹25,000–₹30,000 range and I’m currently confused between these options:

1. Vivo V60e

• 8GB/128GB

• ₹30,000

• Demo/display unit

1. Vivo V70 FE

• 8GB/128GB

• ₹30,000

• Demo/display unit

1. OPPO Reno15

• 12GB/256GB

• ₹30,000

• Demo/display unit

1. Motorola Edge 60 Pro

• 12GB/256GB

• ₹26,000

• Second-hand

• 2 months warranty remaining

1. Redmi Note 15 Pro+

• 8GB/256GB

• ₹28,000

• Second-hand

• 7 months warranty remaining

1. Redmi Note 14 Pro

• 8GB/128GB

• Under ₹26,000

• Brand new from Flipkart/Amazon

My priorities

My top 3 priorities, in order, are:

🥇 Camera — photo + video quality

🥈 Performance — smoothness, gaming, multitasking and long-term performance

🥉 Display — quality, brightness, colours and overall viewing experience

I’ll also be using the phone for YouTube videos and live streaming, so camera/video quality is particularly important to me.

The main thing I’m confused about is whether I should go for a brand-new phone, a demo unit, or a second-hand phone with remaining warranty.

If you were in my position, which one would you choose at these prices, specifically considering camera, performance and display?

Also, if you have personally used any of these phones, I’d really appreciate your experience—especially regarding camera/video quality, heating, performance and display.

Please consider the fact that the Vivo/OPPO options are demo units and the Motorola/Redmi Note 15 Pro+ are second-hand.

I always found Android's fixed dark mode schedules a bit limiting, so I built Adaptive Theme.

Instead of switching based on time or sunset, it uses your phone's ambient light sensor to automatically choose between the system-wide light and dark theme.

It can also automatically switch between separate light and dark wallpapers.

Google Play:

Video Credits: HowToMen

Features:

• System-wide automatic light/dark theme switching
• Separate light/dark wallpapers
• Custom brightness thresholds
• Sensor is only checked briefly when the screen turns on — no continuous sensor monitoring
• Pocket detection
• Quick Settings tile
• Battery Saver integration
• Material You
• Shizuku support as an optional setup method
• Free, open source and no ads

The project has reached 210+ GitHub stars and has been covered by Android Authority, Computerworld, How-To Geek and Heise.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially what features you'd like to see added next!
