Hi friends,
I have been using my Samsung S8 since 2019 when I bought from Flipkart for 29,999. I am in absolute love with this phone's display, sleek looks and simple yet powerful camera that I never felt like changing. In fact last year the display got damaged because of a fall and I went ahead and spent 10k+ to get display changed from Samsung authorized store. But the display has started giving me problem since past few days and it is showing as washed out screen. Otherwise no flickering as such for now. Instead of going for another replacement, I would like to now change the phone but with an android phone which is as sleek as my S8 and offers similar or better display and camera. My budget is around 35k. Pls help suggest me a worthy replacement.
TIA.

If your display quality is priority then no brands provide superior super AMOLED display quality other than Samsung. Now every phone mid budget phones come with AMOLED display but if compare picture quality side by side you wil know the actual differences. The only problem with AMOLED display is screen burn & does not last long as the pixels start dying after some years. Same applies with Oled TV. My uncle bought LG OLED 55 inch TVin 2018, it's panel got dead a month back. Company quoting around 53K for panel replacement. LG saying panel damaged due someone may have hit the panel very hard. I don't know how LG came with conclusion instead LG should focus on using quality parts.

Not updating your phone opens you up against known vulnerability which has been fixed in further updates by the company, and yes many chinese OEM's does install bloat by way of updates but if you're using Apple, Pixel you must update as soon as possible and if you're using Samsung then too you should update to latest update available and hope Samsung doesn't put any bloat which rarely happens in samsung flagships.
And as for suggestion Pixel 6a with Graphene OS is the best possible option under 35k. And pixel 7 with Graphene OS if you want latest flagship and budget is 50k. If you want Samsung then as others have said S21FE is a good and safe option.

And having using this phone for more than 2.5 years I can safely say that regular updates is meant to keep your phone functioning well and yes, sometimes they might cause some issues and they will be fixed in next update although with Samsung it hasn't happened in last 2.5 years.

S8 is 5 years old device and a lot of current mid-range phones got Samsung-make Super-Amoled (Samsung-make*) displays which are obviously better than the S8 panel but the only thing you won't be getting is the high-res display (Even on S20/S21FE it is FHD+ just like the rest). So, if you think the high-res display made the panel look better then checkout S20/S20+ (QHD+ displays*) + these phones also got glass back (it is plastic back on S20/21 FE) & very good cameras
Note: JioMart, Croma had S20/+ for ~40k just last month. There might not be any immediate sales but you can wait then the sale price should be similar in Jan (GIF/Republic day sale)

Vivo v25 pro. Slightly longer display than s8. Obviously not amoled as Samsung but if you love edge curved screen, it will be perfect for you.

I read somewhere that modern 1080p OLEDs of Samsung make (Diamond PenTile? RGB OLED? ) no longer suffer as much compared to earlier when it comes to the perceived sharpness vs their QHD brethren. What's your experience in this regard? Devices with QHD displays usually are pretty expensive. I have had no experience with QHD displays but the 1080p OLED in my father's RN10 Pro seemed just fine. I didn't have the time to check ebooks however and the increased PPI is supposed to make the most difference in terms of sharpness of the text if I am not wrong.

It's just inexplicable that heating during the update process can lead to actual motherboard damage especially in case of devices with Exynos SoC. Years old devices on the 28nm process (Redmi Note 3, Redmi 3s to name a few ) that run much hotter have no such issue. Custom ROM testers for instance sometimes flash upto a dozen builds in a day!

S20 FE 5G..you should be able to get it just under 30K
S21 FE 5G does not offer any significant upgrade over S20 FE ..

Wish issue surfaced before or during sale so that you could have gone with S21FE. By the way you won't be getting heart rate sensor and Iris scanner in any of the replacement devices.

No recent experience with QHD+ displays but the difference is noticeable (Phones*) only if we owned a particular device (FHD/QHD+) for a very long time (& changed to QHD/FHD+ now) or if we are comparing two devices side-by-side?
