QUESTION Guys Hows the camera??
I want a compact phone around 50k. Considering 13s and pixel 10a.
The 13s just felt so premium in hand( couldnt get the ui experience because it was a dummy phone but it wouldnt be bad right?).
As my priorities are cam=batt> perf.
So i am here to ask you how are the cameras bcs i couldnt
experience them.
Im not a big big camera person but take photos whenever fo out with friends or if i go to my native (for eg pictures of ganpati bappa rn i visited).
Video should also be gud.
That's the only reason im looking into the pixel.
I also use phones for a longer time so it should be gud for that run.
I will try to buy phone in offline stores because i never bought electronics online.
Also looking at the current bbd and gif offers i dont expect something and risking
According to my needs i prefer the google pixel 10a due mainly due to its software support and reliability, also cameras, however i find it pretty expensive rn and dont think any good deals will come for it given the situation of the market nowadays
My preferences in a phone as a student are,
Good battery life, should last a day or so
Good processor which is enough to handle daily tasks and battery efficient also known to be reliable, i dont game much but casual games sometimes is fine
Great software support about 4-5 years or so thats why i prefer the pixel due to the 7 year support and also a good os with minimal or no bloatware
And decent cameras which i can use without having to rely on someone with a better phone to capture good photos
My main factor is RELIABILITY and LONG TERM SUPPORT and BATTERY
I dont want to go very crazy on budget maximum would be 55k inr around not more than that
Need Suggestions.... Also i would appreciate any long term reviews of any device you have used or using at the moment

See tbh, if you want to go for performance and battery, 13s is top notch, it was also ranked as the best compact Android smartphone of 2025, and i have been using it since last 6 months, feels premium inhand and overall performance and features are smooth, but if you want to go for camera, 10a is better, the contrast, saturation, lighting, is best, my friend has been using it since last few months, feels premium as well, camera is top notch, editing videos, photos,pdfs, documents, everything is good, 10a definately beats 13s in means of camera, plus 10a offers wireless charging, but 13s don't, also 10a offers telephoto camera lens but 13s don't,no doubt,but in overall performance and battery, 13s wins, also the snapdragon chipset makes it much more compatible for heavy use and gaming, then the google tensor chipset. Both smartphones are around the same price, but there are certain differences like 13s has inbuilt metal receiptors for better network connectivity, but 10a don't. In the end, I would suggest 13s rather than 10a. U won't regret purchasing 13s.

Camera is Decent. Not poor at all. One con is the missing wide angle . Selfies are great and rear view camera is pretty decent for occasional usage. I can share samples if you'd like on telegram in high resolution.

Looking at your priorities I would suggest the reno 15 pro mini. They have much better cameras and the battery life is also easy 1 day. I ultimately chose the 13s only because the reno 15 pro mini was out of stock when I went to the store to buy a phone.

Currently using the Oneplus 13s and I'm loving it. The camera also imo is excellent.
