Which phone are you currently using?

Since I use my phone for testing a lot Apps (126 at the last count), I prefer Pixel phones which come WITHOUT any bloatware or any brand-specific-customization.
How many times you have to charge your pixel in a day assuming on screen time of 10 hours a day?
 
Yes I almost went for M33, since it has solid reviews and no issues reported. Was skeptical of M34's OLED display since many phones with OLED screens from any manufacturer seem to get the vertical line issue. Then went for M34 due to OIS also added for the main camera, even though the SoC is the same slow Exynos of M33. Technically it gives no issues but I've too many banking apps loaded on it 🤣 and some of them feel sluggish.

Sadly, there's no good Samsung with Snapdragon that's reasonably priced (as you may have observed too), they are all overpriced 😥 And while I can afford a Samsung Galaxy S series also, I always go for budget ones because companies sort of force us to upgrade phones by obsoleting software every 3-4 years or it slows down to the point of being unusable. Or something in the phone breaks down and doesn't work correctly. It's a very fast depreciating asset so somehow I don't find my money's worth in spending more than 40K on a phone that's going to only be relevant for 4 years. I would rather buy a gaming laptop worth 1-1.5L.

My first smartphone was LG G Pro 2 (28K from Amazon in 2014), 2nd Lenovo K5 Pro gotten from AliExpress (2018) and now M34.
I got my m33 for 12.5k, 1 year 9 months ago ...
I don't think I will get m35 anywhere near that price.
But I will go for it if I can get it around 15 k before exchange this festive season.

Daily - once - 2am to 5am. That's enough. Normal use. Both Airtel n Jio use 5G.

I carry a 20K battery pack - if travelling or if I am doing some event coverage. Photos n video clip sharings.
 
Galaxy A71 (lying in the drawer as I will exchange it for PROBABLY ONEPLUS 13 in August sales)
4 phones that I use normally (Yes I do)
Pixel 6A, Pixel 7, S21 FE Exynos and SD 888
 
honestly buy phones according to your needs and budget... now a billionare can buy a virtu phone which costs in lakhs and crores because they have the funds for it.. but lets say u earn 1 lakhs a month from ur phone i.e. lets say ur a vlogger then u need a good phone with good camera and battery etc but lets say ur earning 30k a month from a normal job and u need a phone to just call ,whatsapp, basic stuff then u should be buying a phone not more than 15-17k
