Hi,
I have got a pixel 2XL but its power button and volume buttons have fallen, and its not available in market. Also its been a while with that phone hence thinking of upgrade.
I dont use the phone to do any performance oriented task, no gaming nothing. Phone will be used only for media/social media/video calls and for taking videos/pics sometimes.


1. Budget?
A: Around 15k

2. Preferred display size, type and resolution?
A: good screen quality.

3. Preferred operating system? (Android (with version), iOS, etc).
A: Should have support for latest android OS and updates available as well.

4. Preferred connectivity options? (4G, 3G, 2G etc).
A: 5G would be an added advantage. Not mandatory to have 5g(I ve noticed that 5g drains battery)

5. Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them.
A: No preference. Should have good service network

6. What is your intended use for this phone (internet, camera, multimedia, mails etc.)?
A: Camera, youtube, video calls, taking pics/vids.

7. Single SIM/ Dual SIM?
A: No preference

8. New or Used? Online or Offline?
A: New. Don’t mind buying online.

9. Any other requirements?
A: Need good battery backup. Good to have fast charging and OIS in camera.

10. If you have already considered a phone, then please mention the model
A: iqoo z7, moto G62, iqoo z6 lite.

I did take a look at m34. But that phone seems to be pretty new. I am not sure about its long term review, hearing some negative things about exynos proccessor.
Also, wanted to mention that I m not in hurry to buy it. Will there be any discounts for 15th august?

What about REDMI Note 12 Pro 5G(6gb)
Its priced at ₹23,999 on flipkart.
But I am getting an exchange value of 5,450 on my pixel phone. Plus getting additional +3k discount on my card.
Bringing the price to 15,549.
What do you think?

If u can live with miui ,along with getting android updates late by almost 9-12months if any.
Redmi phones pack good hardware.
Lemme take a look at that particular model and get back to you.

Update- specs look good ,do check some reviews tho.

M34. Or wait if you save a bit longer till BBD, might be able to get Pixel 6A for just a little bit more with all the discounts. Android 13 on the Pixels have been super clean and super smooth.
