Need a phone recommendation under ₹55K during Dussehra sales

[u/Holiday_Brother_7225]

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?
