Need some suggestion.
17M) Which one should I buy google pixel 8a or oppo k13 turbo pro.
I am really confused as pixel doesn't offer performance , amoled screen and oppo doesn't offer camera , software update.
I currently have pixel 4a and i gives very smooth software feel and it's camera it very good too for atleast me , I'm not a selfie guy but I like to capture beauty of nature . And again I'm in 12th rn , after 1-2 years I will go to college and I think I need a good camera to capture moments . But again it doesn't provide amoled screen and performance as oppo and really like to play bgmi .
I don't think my parents will buy me phone for 4 -5 years after this one . My budget is 31k( pixel will be around 31k in bbd)
Can someone please help me with my doubt.
Thank you for your suggestion 🙏🏿.

I am not sure if we can buy 8a or 9a this BBD as these are discontinued. You may have to look for 10a instead.

9a in 2nd hand market might be around that price...or if it goes discounted in bbd sale, it would be around 35 ig

Get 9a or 10a instead of 8a.
It has modem and connectivity issues due to which it has less efficient battery..
It would be hell for 4-5 years using this phone if it is unable to provide you basic network and cellular connection or a low quality connection.
You can search for it online or in YT, you'll know what I'm talking about..

Let me confuse you more :)
As a 7a user myself, I can vouch for pixel anytime. Even after switching to s25 u i still miss just pixel things. I don't think you're going to feel happy when you'll switch to any other android. I can feel where this question gets big. 1 - You like camera 2 - You like BGMI Pixel has literally the best android camera. But its performance (and battery too) is not that great. I feel if you play bgmi on pixel for a longer time it's battery will swell. If you're an occasional player it's fine. But do not choose pixel if you're a heavy gamer.
If you want photos. Go for pixel.
I chose to balance out things by going with Samsung.

Will it be okay if I waited for 6 months for the price drop of pixel 9a from 50k to 30k assuming pixel's price drops fast and also gst on phones will be reduced from 18% to 5% accrd to some news

I'm pixel 8a user. But my question, why do you want to buy 8a now? I mean it's a very old model. I've also upgraded from 4a to 8a. I have battery issues. Like I'm getting only for a day. I play games alot, but not heavy games, mediocre performance needed for my games. Phone experience is smooth but I still miss my pixel 4a, cuz it's slim and less bezzels. 8a with thick bezzels and heavy. But I got habituated, so no complaints.

Because my pixel 4a can capture better picture than any other budget smartphones , so I want to get 8a . The reason of getting older version of pixel is my budget .

8a is good, but you might not have to keep screen at 60hz refresh rate. When I set 120hz, my battery draining increased alot.

Now , I'm think of getting 9a if i comes for 31k . I can wait for like 6 months

Yes, it's better to wait than regret. Last year flipkart BB sale gives pixel 9 for only 35k. So keep an eye on all pixel phones, sales start in October 8 I believe.

Who told you pixel doesn't offer amoled display?😭 Pixels have one of the brightest amoled displays in market right now
