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.

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.jain01010199 wrote:

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.

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.

Moto g71 would be better compared to g62.
