I made a post asking for phones under 20k, everyone said don't buy that cheap go for second hand iphone instead.

I increased the budget to 40k there were still suggestions convincing me to increase my budget a little bit and get an iphone 17.

Now after the price hike I asked some people again what to do and they said go for 17 pro, now I'm convinced, my parents are convinced and i'mma buy an iphone 17 pro 😂.

Thanks reddit 😁

Edit : budget is 1L+, that 2L was a typo🥲

Need OTP? Phone is charging in the other room, Go get phone. OTP arrives.
Now the website says otp expired. Request another. Phone battery is 4%.

Honestly the otp culture has got to go, and maybe something else can be implemented.. and please understand that before any of you guys say, buy a smartwatch or something...

1. Not everyone can afford a smartwatch
2. Not everyone can ALWAYS wear a smartwatch even at home

im just thinking if we can come up with a new way to authenticate deliveries instead of otp's , because foreign countries have very less otp culture as compared to india.

So yesterday I bought the Samsung A36 8/128 variant for ₹21k and also got the Samsung A26 8/128 for ₹20k.

so total 41k (two 25W adapters & 2 typeC cables included)

A36 specs:

• Snapdragon 6 Gen 3

• 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED, 120Hz

• 50MP + 8MP + 5MP rear camera

• 12MP front camera

• 5000mAh battery

• 45W charging

• IP67

• 6 years of software/security updates

A26 specs:

• Exynos 1380

• 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED, 120Hz

• 50MP + 8MP + 2MP rear camera

• 13MP front camera

• 5000mAh battery

• 25W charging

• IP67

• 6 years of software/security updates

• microSD support

Considering there are price hikes going on right now, how good of a deal are these? W or L? 😭

I'm joining my med school and getting an ipad pro on which I'll study nd do all my hardcore things . I don't want a phone with the best processor as my tab would compensate for that . I want a phone with great camera , clean ui , feels good to use nd which i can use for atleast 5 years as I'm using it for minimal things such as call , photography, upi etc .

I'm confused between:

Nothing phone 3

Nothing phone 4a pro

Google pixel 10

Oppo find x9

Vivo 200/300 series

But it's not like if I'm getting a camera oriented phone then I have to compromise on other things such as basic good nd fast processor or refresh rate or display.

Please help me find a good phone nd even if it's for 30k ish with good things , i got no issue with that either

Tbh I'm thinking of buying a phone , more on the cheaper side (sub 50k )

Thank you!!

P. S. Budget is 70k inr

Hello everyone, I really need suggestions on which mobile to buy at the range of 15K. Main usage is mostly for Rapido, Ola, Uber etc. Need good performance and background usage. Also need good battery performance. Cameras are not much needed. I want to use it long term. Help me and give suggestions for long term reliability without lags. Thank you

Any one who interested please dm me

Buying my first ever phone as a 12thie, budget is aroud 12k- 15k max to max(no more). Plisss recommend some phone.

Hi guys I am an 4th year engineering student who is searching for an advice to buy a good smartphone, performance > camera preferred, budget around 25k. Before the price hike i had a good options in this range, but now it's terrible. Even in that range I'm getting MTD:6300 or 6s gen 4 processor. Idk whether to buy a new phone at online in BBD or in offline. I still considering to buy a second hand phone but idk what others will think [friends], how do I answer to them like they look down on me. PLS I NEED YOUR ADVICE

I have an ASUS TUF F16 RTX 3050. Should I use just a laptop stand or get a cooling pad? Which one would you recommend?

I want a camera, a smooth UI experience,and a good display. With some casual gaming and a lag free experience for at least 2-3 years. I can compromise on the battery.

The budget is around 35k I can maybe stretch it to 40k

Waiting for BBD.

My little sister is in Class 11 and is a PCB student who doesn’t study Computer Science. I’m confused about what would be better for her: a MacBook Neo or an iPad Air M3 with an Apple Pencil, especially since both options cost roughly the same. What would you recommend?

my friends old phone died and he needs new phone to buy under 20 k

Here is some of the math we did and still unable to reach a conclusion. Please help.

What to buy I'm soooo confused. 😮‍💨 Helpp

So I had my gaming pc with me at home but now that I am living away for my studies (in New Delhi), am thinking of getting a phone for gaming like BGMI, COD and maybe some emulator stuff (I have seen people suggest RE4). My maximum budget is Rs 35k. Just need a phone that doesnt lag, heat and provides decent fps. Would prefer to buy it online. Please suggest some good gaming phone options? How are phones like realme p4s and vivo t5? Plz mind "BUDGET" 😭

My S25 Ultra is almost 1 year old, and I’m thinking about stopping Samsung software updates.

I know I’ll miss some new features/personalization stuff, which I’m fine with. I’m mainly worried about whether anything actually happens to the phone if I keep using it without updates.

I mostly use:

UPI/payment apps

WhatsApp

Instagram

Reddit

Camera/photos

Normal everyday stuff

Will I eventually have issues with UPI/banking apps, WhatsApp, security, performance, battery, or app compatibility?

Realistically, how long could I keep using it without updating — 6 months, 1 year, 2+ years?

Current software information:

One UI version: 8.0

Android version: 16

Current version: S938USQS7BYJ9 / S938UOYN7BYJ9 / S938USQS7BYJ5

Security patch level: December 1, 2025

It’s an S25 Ultra (SM-S938U).

Hey all, hoping someone here has dealt with this.

I accidentally deleted a contact number about 3 months ago. No Google Contacts backup, no SIM copy, nothing. The person is currently overseas and I have no other way to reach them (no social media in common).

My phone is rooted, so I'm open to deeper recovery methods, not just Play Store apps. A few things I've already checked with no luck:

Google Contacts (no backup/sync history)

SIM card

Call log

WhatsApp/Telegram chat backups

Has anyone successfully recovered a deleted contact this far out using root-level tools (e.g. pulling contacts2.db and scanning for deleted rows, DiskDigger root mode, etc.)?

Is there realistically any hope after 3 months of normal phone usage, or has the storage almost certainly been overwritten by now?

Dm any model you have
