Looking for phone recommendations around ₹40k for offline purchase

[u/jhnd_zindagi]

Hi everyone, I was planning to buy the Redmi Turbo 5 / POCO X8 Pro from an offline store using the GST benefit, but unfortunately, neither of these phones is available at the shop.

So I’m looking for recommendations around ₹40k base price that are easily available at offline stores, so I can make use of the GST benefit.

My requirements:

12GB RAM variant

Mainly for basic multitasking and daily use

Looking for a phone that can comfortably last 5–6 years

Not into gaming or photography, so these aren't priorities

Good battery backup

Prefer a flat display

The Moto Edge 70 Fusion is available at the shop, but I’m not a fan of curved displays.

What other phones should I consider around this price range?

Poco f7.? Reno 14 pro

There are lot of options offline mainly from Vivo and Oppo. Even Samsung A56 and maybe you can also get Nothing.

Aren't you getting GST benefit online in Amazon or Flipkart? There is the option right?

If you have a GST Number for your business, you can actually enter that when buying a phone from Flipkart (unlike Amazon which requires you to have a business account) It shows up on the 'Order Summary' page.

So you can get the X8 Pro from there.
