Fellow Dimers & techies! My Asus phone is giving up (battery discharging rapidly even while switched off) and I've been off the smartphone scene since I bought it and just dont have time to research. So please help me choose the best smartphone under 15k (can stretch max by 1k).

Most important - 

Minimum 6GB RAM 

Best in price processor 

Good Speakers  (loudness & clarity) 

Best in price Camera, esp for low light 

Preferably vanilla Android or at least custom ROM with absolutely minimum bloat & no ads or such

Would prefer to have:

3.5 mm jack 

Would not prefer to have:

5G 

Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks a lot. But reviewers are all saying camera is pathetic. Camera is more important for me than proccy (as long as there's no lag) as I'm not much into gaming. 

Also wouldn't want a 5G phone. Besides the concerns about 5G, I'd rather have a phone that uses the $ for better cam, proccy, storage, etc.

No phone under 16k has a very good camera. Only good ones is Realme 9 pro plus for 18k (this one has some lens fogging issues though, search for it)

Galaxy M52 will also have decent camera..its also around 18.5k

Thanks, will check them out. 

What about the ROMs and update support in Samsung and Realme? How good or bad are they now? I'm quite outta touch with the latest phone stuff. Only familiar with MIUI. 
No capable Xiaomi phone with good camera (particularly for low light) & speakers under 15-16k?

So much has been revealed about 5G & millilitre waves recently everyone must know about it. Even then awareness in India is still abysmally low. But try posting it on social media and see how quickly you get suspended. 5G is military weapons tech masquerading as communications technology.

Really busy right now but if you send me a DM I'll send you sources in a while. Because not sure how DD will react to this.

Don't know about military staff bt Indians r crazy about 5g I'm afraid in a year companies will stop making 4g phone above 10k price and I'll forced to buy 5g even when i don't need it

Yes, and they (we) will pay a very steep price for it. 5G is the ultimate people control grid.


Unlikely that they will just shut down 4G in a year, as most phone right now are 4G. Not everyone upgrades phones in a year. Right now even 2G is maintained for people with basic feature phones.
