What are the best deals available currently, if I buy oneplus 8t/8 pro now? Or should I wait for the republic day sales? And, any better options to look for other than OnePlus? Samsung S20+ was coming for around 49k but the Exynos processor is sh*t, as complained by many users.
Requirements – Better Camera setup, and Durability. Not gonna play High end Games, but still Recent processors will be a big plus.

Look for 3k or 5k instant discounts on some cards. That’s the best deal you could get. As of now Oxygen OS Android 11 updates are crap with innumerable glitches. It might take some more months to stabilize.

Probably wait if u can! Samsung is coming up with exynos 2100 which seems to be a lot better than previous versions!
Also i own 8t, which is a bit unstable right now, every update has a new glitch!
Can’t think of any other android phone rn!

Buy a 20k phone. Maybe invest or speculate the remaining 30k. And then recover the cost of 20k. Sell the 20k phone n repeat. 😀😀😀 It is a good hypothesis though.

what if he looses that 30k in the process of gambling ?

greed is bad thing. better to enjoy or save the money than gambling.

Haan, will think about that too, if I get them around 50-60k, though, I’m more inclined towards android. Thanks, anyway., Kg+ smile

For camera – Apple, Samsung & Google. Since you’re preferring Android you can opt for Samsung if you get a good deal on Samsung flagships even with known issues of Exynos. New series is launching in January end according to rumours hence prices may come down further on current models. Also check on battery feedback of S20+ before finalizing.

Pixex 4a is there at a lower price point but it lacks certain perks of Samsung & Apple flagships.

Hmm, in previous sale, s20+ was available at 50k and with some offers, exchange – could’ve saved 2k-3k-4k more, but I was not confident between Samsung with Exynos processor and OnePlus with SD865! Samsung will be first choice for sure now : ) thank You.

S20+ for 50k at Flipkart, and 10% discount with sbi cards in upcoming sale plus 5% Yono cashback!! That should be a good deal, no? Or still, the wait is a better option?
