iphone 16 pro max or Samsung galaxy S25/S24 Ultra

I can answer this as well.

So, it can last one day full no issues. My two friends each having S23 ultra and s25 ultra, I know.
So, they are able to use whole day, it's just they have to keep their phone is power saving whole day.

Same is the case with me. However, keeping on power saving doesn't feel that much worry. It just limits CPU usage to 70%, makes it dark mode only. Limits refresh rate (I don't care unless my phone is working smoothly) and do some optimizations like deep sleeping etc.

So, if you are just okay with this, it’s a solid choice.

Have been using S20, now S23, and I keep my phone on battery saver whole day.

Oh okay got it. What if we don't use it with power saving mode? Does it lasts for a day? S23U came with exinos processor? If yes may be its not optimized well enough but 23U onwards it's snapdragon.

Already I have Nord 3, planning for a new one for regular use within 30k. I am not a gamer, just for moderate movie watching & taking pics.
Any alternative?
Thank you

Bro, if you are photo lover.

You can try Samsung S24FE, although it's in Exynos processor, but works good in daily tasks. Or if processor you want best, Iquoo Neo 10.

For cameras, I don't think anyone can beat at this price point.
You also get Ip68, I have myself got it into swimming pool lol.

Or there can be multiple choices. My only point is, all 30K phones are like midrangers. FE - Fan edition not exactly like flagships, but gives near to that experience.

Can give a try. Also, if can extend the budget a bit, take s24 with snapdragon varient in BBD. I think it's coming within 40K.

I personally went to Chroma and Tried Nord5, didn't like it for camera due to 2 reasons:
You can't zoom in and out smoothly in a video. You don't get ultra wide in 60FPS Or 4K. Switching between camera is not good.

Wait for BBD - https://youtube.com/shopcollection/SCUCLW_WDeuMr5ErJ411GOTcOxePTefegaTbA?si=G5O_OgQzhagz9vrx

Pls share with me if u found anything in this range🙂
For a non gamer this is sufficient

@Sree CC
Also you can try Iquoo Neo10. - https://www.flipkart.com/iqoo-neo-1...S5lCf25CTu6izEIbVEezyYV9EkSn&affid=ytflipkart

Processor wise it's kaafi great, and service of Iquoo is good as vivo owns it. - Snapdragon 8sGen4 in this price range is unbeatable and battery is the best.

Kind of the flagship killer now a days.

Camera is good and way better functionalities than most of the phones costing 30K. Feel free to ask anything.

Hello @Sudbht
I think you are a bit confused, Ultra models never came in Exynos. Especially the 23 series.

All came with Snapdragons.

Also if my suggestions or experience was helpful, I would be happy if you buy from here

(P.S. It's my mom's youtube channel, but it's not that I helped just because of this or anytime, it was not even in my mind, but suddenly my mom said that create a list of mobiles, so I remembered 🙂)

Regarding battery, yes after a year, you will definitely need to have it on battery saver whole day.
This is the only caveat and can be a big one.

Rich people talking of big show-off phones. Me being a poor guy want to buy a below 10000 phone. Seeing all these discussions, i also decided to buy a small show off phone 😉. Any suggestions on Nothing phone with good camera ( planning to shoot at Niagara water falls with lot of water splash). 🤣

Hmm okay i thought 23U and earlier models came with Exinos may be it was in Europe region. Sure i will checkout the link provided. Okay i will analyze further and decide which one to buy. Thanks for all the inputs.
