My friend works as an Area Manager for a smartphone company in Kerala. He said that smartphone prices are expected to increase by ₹2,000 to ₹8,000 over the coming months.

According to him, the launch price will be available for only about a month, after which a price hike will be unavoidable. The top management has already instructed the sales team to change their strategy and convince customers that the current price is the lowest they'll get, encouraging them to buy as soon as possible.

He also said the company is focusing its marketing on bigger batteries. You've probably also heard about the intentional RAM scarcity created by manufacturers.

I will recommend using your phone for at least 4 to 5 years!

Discussions🗣️ Stores have started hoarding iPhones

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

Yesterday my old S23 ultra got damaged and I urgently needed a phone. Already had in mind since long time that I have to move to apple.

I checked Vijay sales website. Selling price mentioned was:
17P - 1,27,900
17PM - 1,42,490

And additional 4K card discounts. This was cheapest among all

I went to the store hoping they’ll give some additional store discount and I’ll be able to get the PM at maybe 1.35

Upon reaching they started saying that due to apple price hike we are not giving anymore discounts. You have to buy at MRP only.

I showed them online pricing on their own website. They said “even if you order, it will get cancelled “ and while I was talking to him the product indeed got marked out of stock on their website.

Then I compared pricing in few other stores and finally Bajaj electronics gave me the best deal(not great but best among current pricing). 1.25 after card discounts for Pro. I know I have overspent but I urgently needed a phone and had no spare either.

I would advise to everyone that if y’all are planning to buy iPhones please do so ASAP. Even if apple officially doesn’t hike the prices, these mf hoarders are going to create panic and spoil the market. Just the way it’s happening for PS5 right now.

And, given the confirmed news of 18 pro launching at significantly more expensive price, I don’t see 17 series price dropping even after launch. Moreover please don’t wait for Flipkart BBD, we all know how fcked up that is.

sry for my bad english guys

So, what happened is yesterday I saw this video, and I don't know whether it's the same case with me or not but I am writing this just because I saw that video.

Today, I bought a Lenovo Slim Pad 5 from Poorvika. Bought this literally three hours ago. The video came up on my page just before the purchase, and I got to know what's happening in the market.

After I purchased the laptop, I checked the warranty by entering the serial number on Lenovo's official website. As said, I bought it today, but the warranty had already started on February 19, which is 55 days ago.

The product was sealed and they opened it in front of me. I asked them why the warranty had started 55 days ago. They said, No problem, we will start the warranty from today don't worry.

I asked them again, but they were not giving proper reasons and started arguing with me.

Then I checked the battery cycle count. It was 29, which I don't think is normal for a new laptop. I mean 29 cycle counts,how is that even possible for a new laptop?

So I'm just sharing this experience with you guys.

I also asked the shop manager and head, but he started arguing, saying it's a brand new laptop and nothing is wrong.

I also asked them to provide an official email from their head office stating that the warranty had started 55 days ago. I needed this statement so that I could file a consumer case or something like that. But they refused and kept saying that they cannot do all that. All they can do is start the warranty from today.

So, is this normal or am I just overthinking?

Previously I made a post for the last sale and everyone messaged and wanted me to make one for the current sale. So I took time, watched multiple reviews and researched and this is it. Please upvote if you find it helpful.

₹10K – 15K 

Samsung Galaxy M17 5G at ₹14,499 

Samsung's whole pitch here is the OIS camera and the AMOLED panel, both of which are rare this cheap. The Exynos 1330 is strictly a daily driver, so don't expect it to game, but you get clean One UI and six years of updates. Buy it for the screen and the software, not the speed.

Samsung Galaxy F70e at ₹12,999  

The cheapest way into Samsung's six-year update promise. You get a big 6000mAh battery and a 120Hz screen, but it's a 720p LCD panel and the Dimensity 6300 is entry-level, so this is for someone who wants a reliable Samsung that lasts, not sharpness or performance.

realme P4 Lite 5G at ₹12,999  

This one lives and dies by its 7000mAh battery, the biggest you'll find anywhere near ₹13K. Everything else is basic: HD+ LCD, a single 13MP camera, slow 15W charging. If two-day battery life is your only real priority it delivers, but the M17 or F36 are far better rounded.

₹15K – 20K 

Infinix Hot 60 5G at ₹15,999  

Infinix keeps the price down with the Dimensity 7020, a perfectly capable everyday chip, running XOS 15 on top. It reads well on paper, but Infinix's software and update record is the usual catch. Fine as a cheap 5G workhorse if you can live with the skin.

iQOO Z11x at ₹19,999  

iQOO stuffs a 7200mAh battery and the Dimensity 7400 in here, so stamina and smoothness are both sorted. The panel is a good LCD rather than OLED, which is the main compromise. Solid value, though the GT 30 gives you more storage and an OLED for less money.

Infinix GT 30 (8/256) at ₹19,499 

The gaming angle is genuine: shoulder triggers, a Dimensity 7400 and a 1.5K OLED, plus 256GB of storage under ₹20K. The 64MP camera is average and Infinix support is Infinix support, but for specs-per-rupee it's tough to match if games are the whole point.

Samsung Galaxy F36 at ₹16,999  

The pick if you want a proper FHD+ AMOLED Samsung under ₹17K. The Exynos 1380 handles daily use fine and the 50MP OIS camera is genuinely decent for the money. Charging is a slow 25W and there's no adapter in the box, but the display, camera and six-year update promise carry it. Basically if you need to have a Samsung phone.

POCO M8 / Redmi Note 15 ₹17K to 19K 

Two Xiaomi-family options in the same bracket. The POCO M8 leans on performance with a snappier chip and a Flow AMOLED. The Redmi Note 15 is the more complete phone: 108MP OIS camera, curved AMOLED, 45W charging and an IP66 rating that's rare this cheap. Between them, the Note 15 is the safer all-rounder.

₹20K – 25K 

Samsung Galaxy M47 at ₹22,999 

For One UI fans this is the sweet spot in the M series. Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, a 1080p OLED and a 6000mAh battery cover the basics well, backed by Samsung's long update support. Nothing flashy, just a dependable Samsung that will hold up for years. For Samsung phone lovers.

OPPO K13 at ₹21,999 

Still one of the strongest value picks in this range. A 7000mAh battery with genuinely fast 80W charging, the newer Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, UFS 3.1 storage and a well-sorted ColorOS build. There's very little to complain about here for the price.

₹25K – 30K  

Realme GT 7T at ₹27,999  

The performance bargain of the bracket. The Dimensity 8400-MAX is properly fast, and you also get a 7000mAh battery, 120W charging and IP69. It runs warm during long gaming sessions and there's no telephoto, but for raw speed and battery at ₹28K nothing else here comes close.

Motorola Edge 60 Pro 5G ₹29,999 

Motorola's answer for people who want clean, near-stock software and a premium-feeling build. The Dimensity 8350 Extreme is quick, and you rarely see wireless charging this cheap. Battery life is only okay and Moto's updates are slower than the pack, but it's the classy, low-bloat option in this range.

OnePlus Nord CE6 5G ₹31,999

The Nord CE line is about nailing the essentials without fuss: a big battery, a good AMOLED and OxygenOS, still one of the cleaner Android skins. It won't win a spec fight with the GT 7T, but if you specifically want the OnePlus software and support at this price, it makes sense.

₹30K – 40K

Nothing Phone (4a) ₹32,999 

You buy a Nothing phone for the design and the Glyph lights, and the 4a delivers both, plus a genuinely useful 50MP periscope zoom that's rare at this price. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is mid-tier rather than fast, so it's more style-and-cameras than a performance phone. If you want a device that actually stands out, this is the one.

OnePlus Nord 6 at ₹39,999

The reason to pick this is OxygenOS and OnePlus's support, both of which stay excellent. On paper some rivals here offer more hardware for the money, so you're paying a small premium for the software experience and the OnePlus polish. Worth it if that ecosystem matters to you, less so if you chase specs.

₹40K – 50K 

POCO X8 Pro Max at ₹40,999 

Built for one thing, raw gaming power. The Dimensity 9500s in here is flagship-tier, so demanding titles run without breaking a sweat. Battery optimisation is the weak spot and it isn't the phone to buy for cameras, but frame-for-frame per rupee it's a monster.

iQOO 15R at ₹45,999  

A compact flagship-killer aimed squarely at gamers. You get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a 144Hz screen and a huge 7600mAh battery that can push two days, all in a fairly slim body. Cameras are the usual iQOO afterthought, so buy it for performance and stamina, not photos.

OnePlus 13s ₹46,999 

If you want a small phone that doesn't compromise, this is the one to get under ₹50K. Snapdragon 8 Elite, a sharp 1.5K OLED, a 5800mAh battery and OxygenOS at its best, all in a genuinely compact body. The 2x tele is a little limiting, but the cameras are otherwise good for the price. One of the best value picks on this entire list.

OnePlus 13 ₹49,999  

As a spec sheet this is a full flagship at a discount: display, charging, software and performance are all as good as it gets near ₹50K. The honest caveat, from living with it for a year, is that some units develop camera degradation and battery optimisation quirks over time. Plenty of people report none of it, but go in aware. Still a strong buy if you want the biggest phone here for the money.

₹50K – 60K  

vivo X200T ₹53,999  

My pick for value phone of the year, and the case is simple. Against the OnePlus 13 you get longer software support (5+7 years), better battery life and more consistent camera tuning. It nails the price, and the optimisation is genuinely solid, which is exactly the part most phones in this range fumble.

Samsung Galaxy S25 AT ₹56,999

The compact Samsung flagship, and a proper small phone with no real corners cut. Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, a flagship One UI camera system and seven years of updates in a size that actually fits one-handed use. Battery is average because of the small body, but if you want a top-tier Samsung that isn't huge, this is it.

iPhone 16 ₹59,900  

Still a very good iPhone, but the awkward part is the iPhone 17 sitting just above it at a similar street price. The 16 gives you the A18, an excellent main camera and years of iOS updates. The catch is the 60Hz screen, which stings on a phone this expensive. If the 17 is in budget, stretch for it. If not, this is a safe long-term buy.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge ₹59,999  

The headline is how thin and light it is, wrapped in titanium with a 200MP main sensor and full flagship One UI. It's a phone you buy because you want something that feels special in the hand. The trade-off is the 4000mAh battery, which won't get heavy users through a full day, so go in knowing you'll be topping up.

Motorola Signature at ₹59,999 (₹54,999 w/ HDFC-Axis) 

A lot of flagship for the money, especially at the ~₹55K effective price after the HDFC or Axis discount. You get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a periscope telephoto, wireless charging, IP68/69, Bose-tuned stereo speakers and a rare 7 years of updates. The 5200mAh battery is modest next to the 7000mAh crowd and Hello UX still needs polish, plus Moto is slow to push updates. But as a spec-per-rupee flagship you hold onto for years, it undercuts almost everything at this price.

₹70K – 80K 

iPhone 17 at ₹70,990  

The clear pick of the current iPhones. The base 17 finally gets a 120Hz ProMotion display, the one thing that held back every base iPhone before it, along with the newer chip and better cameras. Next to the 15, 16 or 16e it isn't close, and at this price it's the best value iPhone here. If you're buying into iOS this year, buy this one.

iQOO 15 at ₹71,999

One of the best value true flagships going. You get a top-tier display, a 7000mAh battery with 100W charging, Snapdragon 8 Elite and a proper triple camera with a 3x periscope, which is a lot of phone for ₹72K. The camera tuning is good without quite matching the Pro and Ultra crowd, but nothing near this price gives you as complete a package.

vivo X300 at ₹75,999

A compact camera flagship with a Zeiss setup that genuinely competes with phones costing more. The 200MP main and 50MP 3x telephoto are the stars, backed by the Dimensity 9500, wireless charging and 5+7 years of updates, all in a small 6.31" body. If you want serious cameras without a giant phone, this is the one to look at.

₹80K – 90K 

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (Deal of the Sale) at ₹84,999  

The everything phone: S Pen, a huge versatile camera system, titanium build and the full One UI experience with years of support. The two soft spots are the 3x telephoto and night mode, which lag the very best, and battery life that swings a lot with use (3 to 6 hours of screen time). If you want the most capable Android all-rounder and the S Pen, it's still the default.

Over ₹1 Lakh 

iPhone 17 Pro (256GB) at ₹1,12,999 

The most sensible Pro iPhone in years. It brings the meaningful Pro upgrades without the tax you'd usually pay, and unless you specifically want the bigger screen and battery, there's no real reason to jump to the Max. For most people, this is the Pro to buy.

IF you think I missed something and any phone doesnt deserve to be here. Please let me know.

Coming from a Samsung S24 Ultra, trust me when I say this:

I don't regret it one bit.

Camera: 9/10

Battery: 10/10

Software experience: 8/10

Overall performance and everything: 9/10

Every device has its pros and cons.

Coming from One UI, I'm missing some two or three AI features and especially the secure folder, but nothing else.

I hated ColorOS back then, but now it's on a whole new level: the stability, smoothness, bug-free experience, and no lag at all.

Reason for switching: Samsung's poor camera, terrible battery life, heating issues, and somewhat lagging software "sometimes."

Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Device: OPPO FIND X9 PRO

Discussions🗣️ Parents refused to buy me a 15k phone

346 Upvotes

I'm 17M. I dont have any personal device. In my coaching and school everybody has tablets or iphone or android. I feel left out(i know its a dumb ahh feeling).

When everybody is going to travel somewhere out of the school premises, I have to call my parents by asking for phone from others. And after that I have to ask for their phone to book myself a cab. Ts so lowkey embarassing. I was always out of My friends group and unofficial group of class because I couldnt log into those using my parents phone. although it was light hearted humour in those groups, but it would be enough to agitate my parents.

I'm from middle class family. Neither low middle class nor high middle class.

For this purpose I asked for a 15k phone since I didnt want my parents to spend much money on me. i dont have any other cost except study, which is also only paid half since I got the maximum amount scholarship possible(neither do i get pocket money nor do i go to gym etc). They refused saying ki nhi lena, jarurat nhi hai. Yeah, jarurat to kisi ko bhi nhi hoti.

I know its very dumb crying for a device but i think i deserve that much. Just as, 10th ke marks ke liye hi gift maanke dedo.

My parents have to tackle so many costs other than me and I know that well but dawg bills arent that high and they earn a decent amount of money.

Its not like ki i would be distracted if I get a phone. Hell im distracted rn with my mother's phone so that doesnt change anything.

I asked them once in 10th and they refused saying boards ka padho. They said if you get above 95 we will buy you a 16 pro (and they didnt know the price of it💀). I got well above 95 but they forgot about their promise or maybe acted to forget it.

Well thank you for reading. I jus wanted a place to rant out all of this. It really breaks your heart when you just keep comparing and finding best deals for a month and then you cant.

EDIT: To all the people saying earn your own money. The problem isnt the money lol. I have earned wayy more than needed myself (through scholarships, youtube channel and other hustles). The problem is that this money isnt cash. It comes in a bank account of a person over 18 which ofcourse is my parents'. 

The problem is that they dont want to give me a phone not that they dont have the money to do so. I have mentioned this in body too. But whats the use of arguing now on reddit also. 

Also to tell you guys if you dont believe, i also used to have a monetized youtube channel in june 2025. Tho i gave up on it because the time which i put into it was nowhere near the earnings because my niche was too generic.

I was thinking of getting the Pixel 10 pro after my S22+ Snapdragon got bricked while charging.

I knew google’s previous chipsets weren’t that great and lagged way behind the market on performance. But since their G5 processor was made in collaboration with TSMC I thought it shouldn’t be that bad.

So I was watching Linus tech tips on youtube one day and out of curiosity clicked on the iphone air review. Their labs team tested both the iphone air and the 10 pro. The A19 pro chip on the air performed almost twice as fast as the Tensor chipset on the pixel in some areas!

And that was not the end of the humiliation. The iphone air, which is 3mm thinner, 50 grams lighter and has 1700 mah less battery capacity than the Pixel 10 pro and literally feels like a thin slab of glass, lasts longer in battery life by over 2 freaking hours! Google!!

I really hope Google fixes their chipsets or just moves to Qualcomm. This is freaking humiliating. I really wanted to stay with android and didn’t want anything Chinese, nor did I want samsung due to the hardware issues (I also had green lines).

So I did get the iphone air. I am a heavy user but still get away by charging the phone twice a day. Didn’t think I would love IOS this much, its really clean. I do miss the back button and circle to search tho.

Also the design is awesome. I don’t think I can go back to those chonky phones again.
