I am looking for a decent phone for 2022 standards with Great camera (have kids at home, so want to take a lot of photos and videos with both front and back cameras). Also, it should work for several years.
Context: I used OnePlus One for like 5 years before moving to OnePlus 6. Chose both these coz of the camera but heard the recent models aren't that great. Any mobile that currently has very good offers on sale? Fine if the cost is a few 1000rs more if the mobile is great.
(Yeah, I also missed the offer on Samsung S21 FE 😒 ). Thanks.

For camera it's between S21 FE & 6A. Other phones have better processor, better battery life & faster charging but offer no match in terms of camera & also software though software is user subjective. In S21 FE one can switch between primary camera & 3x optical zoom for portraits & it's pretty good.

@Jairaj The perfect phone for your use-case and budgetary requirements is S21 FE. You already know that, so now don't worry about the missed opportunity in earlier deals. It's still available at a few places for around 32K (after bank discounts). Still an excellent choice at that price point.
Around 40K my best pick are these two only.
Watched and read many reviews for both S21 FE and Pixel 6A since a few hours. Almost everyone said they both have very good cameras and Almost everyone are saying they both have very bad heating issue.
I also need the mobile to work for a few years at least, if these mobiles are heating up in the first few days itself, then I should skip these. 😣

If you are mostly on wifi and don't game much, then go for pixel 6a.
If priority is only camera, then y not get a good camera? I don't understand people Getting phone only for camera..
If good camera is needed, get a good camera! & buy a decent smartphone from the money saved.
Phones were originally meant for communication but look what the marketing has done to us!

"Also, it should work for several years." People who are suggesting Pixel 6A and S21 Fe seems to have missed this point. A processor is a heart of smartphone. It doesn't need to be powerful if you are normal user but it has to be properly optimised if you are gonna use it for long term. Both the suggested phones really suck at that. Battery life in S21 Fe today itself is poor , imagine what will happen after 1.5 years. Samsung isn't stupid to sell it's 55k worth of phone in 30k in just 6 months from its launch. My suggestion is Motorola Edge 30 Fusion. Really good camera, and really well optimised overall phone or if you don't care about brand value and stuff you can check Iqoo 9t as well but can't comment on the software part.

Moto is really poor when it comes to software updates. IIRC they had promised only 1 Android OS update for their flagship of fairly recent vintage. And surprisingly recently some dimers had complaints about RAM management which shouldn't be an issue in stock Android.
Good processor, No bloatware , decent battery life, camera sensor is good now rest is on the software to take use of that

Motorola edge 30 fusion - Android™ 12, Assured 2 OS Upgrades (13 & 14) + 3 years of Security Updates
Cant talk on the RAM management part though

Those who are confused b/w 6A and S21fe . Think once, you are only left with one yr os update in S21fe and 6A will have 3yr updates. If you still wanna buy s21fe you can by spending 15-20 mins in flipkart , it usually comes back in stock at 32k range. I got a chance to order it yesterday but then cancelled it.
S21 Fe will get updates upto Android 16.

Just 2 OS updates is still pretty bad though esp. for a flagship-grade device. Moto is usually quite late when it comes to rolling out updates besides. Plus do they even release security updates on a monthly basis? Starting with the SD888 Qualcomm itself had announced 4 years of support so Moto has no excuses on this front. Even the budget Redmi Note series is assured of 2 Android OS updates as of last year. Moto has failed to take full advantage of stock Android.

Yes, considering that this device costs 40K, 3 Android updates should have been given. For a long term user late update wont be a matter of concern as long as it comes alright. And really ask yourself, what would be more important to use in a phone in the long run, a slightly outdated software or inferior hardware.

In that case I will choose the former. However I have never really had to make the choice thanks to exemplary custom ROM support in all my devices! If a single developer can keep custom ROM development going across multiple Android versions over several years then one shouldn't cut a large OEM any slack whatsoever.
P.S. More than the no. of Android version updates it's the rather short duration for security updates that is hard to accept. 4-5 years if not longer.

If one knows and stay withing the secured boundary of Android environment, late security update wont be an issue as well.
Which, if any, did you finalise?
Similar dilemma here. Not for self, but for a family member.
Google device make up for laggard hardware or old lenses.. by having proprietary software, A.I. (post production/ software based refining) to give almost at-par AV, pictures.
But then google prefers to keep average sized batteries.

Bought IQOO 9 SE. Camera is very good. Battery is good. No heating or lagging issue. Rest of the features are good too. I don't think I have faced any issues so far. 29999 was the price including SBI cashback.
