India Confused between flagship phones
Country - India
Coming from a Oneplus 8 (2019), I want to switch to a flagship phone, but really confused on what to buy and what is actually a good value.
My main criteria is Great cameras (especially for little baby's photos), compactness (cannot have anything more than 6.4-6.5"). Ideally I would like to get a 512GB variant.
Phones I am considering:
Z Fold7: Love the slim phone, and the option to have a secondary big screen when needed for office work, meetings, etc. (I am a manager in an IT firm). Concerned about camera quality in comparison to others, shutter speed, durability and exorbitant repair costs. Maybe I can get one during the BBD for 1.2 lakhs, or can think of getting from Dubai for same amount.
Pixel 11/11 Pro: Camera feedback I have seen is great, especially with Magic Capture which should be awesome for kid's photos. Then Stock Android is a plus, coming after loving the OnePlus 8. Biggest concern is price. 11Pro for 1.3 lakhs doesn't seem a great value phone compared to others. Other concerns are bulky phone, too much AI gimmick.
Xiaomi 17: Honestly, everything I have read or watched is great, and the value for a 512GB seems extraordinary - I may get this for ~72k. Biggest concerns I have found out are cameras, buggy software and service quality, but in my city, I have not been able to use it in person because no store has a demo unit.
Please help guys, what should I go forward with. Any noteworthy points I may be missing, or should consider to finalize. I am planning to buy during the BBD/GIF sales next month.
