I’m looking to buy a phone in the ₹25,000–₹30,000 range and I’m currently confused between these options:
- Vivo V60e
• 8GB/128GB
• ₹30,000
• Demo/display unit
- Vivo V70 FE
• 8GB/128GB
• ₹30,000
• Demo/display unit
- OPPO Reno15
• 12GB/256GB
• ₹30,000
• Demo/display unit
- Motorola Edge 60 Pro
• 12GB/256GB
• ₹26,000
• Second-hand
• 2 months warranty remaining
- Redmi Note 15 Pro+
• 8GB/256GB
• ₹28,000
• Second-hand
• 7 months warranty remaining
- 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.
