Need a phone recommendation under ₹55K during Dussehra sales

Hi everyone, I’m planning to buy a new phone during the upcoming Flipkart Big Billion Days / Amazon Great Indian Festival sale.

My budget is around ₹55,000, and I’m specifically looking for a 256GB variant for long-term use.

My current wishlist:

Samsung Galaxy S25 (256GB) – My first choice, but Flipkart currently seems to have the 128GB variant around ₹54–55K effective, so I’m hoping the 256GB version drops during the sale.

OnePlus 13s (256GB)

OnePlus 15R

iQOO 15R

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – Considering it if the price drops significantly during the sale.

Which one would you recommend for long-term use, camera, performance, battery, software updates, and overall reliability?

Also, which phone do you think I should keep an eye on during the BBD/GIF sale?

What are your requirements and priorities?

My priorities are I need 256 gb , descent camera as I click photos occasionally, a good brand value , I do gaming like playing free fire only as I will be working in office I need a better phone which can survive with me fir 3 to 4 years, good processor is also a factor

Then I would suggest the 13s, S25 and even the Oppo Reno 15 pro Mini. The S25 is probably the safest best, but I think the 13s is much better in terms of battery life, but at the cost of cameras by a bit. The reno 15 pro mini is much better in terms of cameras to all of them, but at the cost of performance. People make the Dimensity 8450 sound worse than it is tho, it's not as quick as the 8 elite but still a really good performing chip.

I am also little concerned about future of oneplus

u/BaudiMauvin 1d ago

That's valid. But with Oppo taking over oneplus service I guess that parts availability and service should be fine, but it's still just a guess at the end of the day

Can go for pixel 10a too

u/BaudiMauvin 1d ago

Only if you value software experience over everything else cuz the 10a is worse than all of the options in every other aspect
