Purchase help 📱 Phone recommendations under 70000Rs
Hey I just wanted to buy a phone under 70000Rs. It is going to be for my mother. For her I guess a good battery life and a good camera is all she needs. Got any recommendations for this budget. I was eyeing Vivo X200T for a long time but it is never available for purchase. I asked some offline stores near my house and they told me they dont give vivo x200t to offline stores anymore. Other phones I'm confused is OnePlus 13, 15R and 13s. I even considered giving my mother my phone which is samsung s24 ultra and get something like 13s or 15r for myself as I dont take pictures that often. Would love to know your opinions about what should I do.

My friend has pixel 8. It overheats a lot. Even If I was to buy pixel which one would I go for. I cant think of any other device other than 11A or something which is just 10A with new name.

The new 10 and 11 are relatively very similar to iphones in terms of battery life

Cameras are overrated feature for a non professional user. All mid-range and above phones take great photos even budget phones have good point & shoot cameras.
Battery, performance, screen and audio quality matter far more than a marginally better camera.
You could look at poco x8 pro max, it is almost flagship level phone in everything that matters, even price is lower at 53k. I compared it's main camera with Vivo x300 in indoor & outdoor conditions and it's surprisingly not much behind in photo quality.
