If one is to buy a phone keeping the cameras in mind, I dont think you can do better than a pixel in the android world today. Sure, there are many top end android phones which have a lot of extra features like 10X zoom and whatnot, but for pictures of people, I have not come across anything better than the Pixel. | |

Unfortunately for us in India, Google didn't feel we are good enough for their latest pixels. Even the humble 5a is missing here. That would have been the perfect phone for me as my requirements are rather modest only - good enough camera and battery. I know that imported units of these phones are available on Amazon but i don't want to buy an unsupported phone. | |

| ![]() Recommendation needed for a reliable USB C (both ends) cable and adapter combo for the Pixel 4a. Spec sheet says it's USB PD 2.0 @ 18W. |

Since the requirements were modest, the final vote went to 11T Pro due to 3 reasons.
So net net, got the phone around INR32k which I felt was a great deal for this phone, especially considering the equivalent competition. Initial impressions are good so far. | |||

My 3a OE charger is well into the 3rd year and is in good condition. | |

Take a look at this Google G1000-IN 18 W 3.6 A Mobile Charger with Detachable Cable on Flipkart https://dl.flipkart.com/s/ObMuQENNNN Maybe you should get the following pair of items which have good reviews on Amazon: Limited-time deal: Portronics Adapto 62 USB Wall Adapter Without Cable 2.4A Fast Charging Single USB Port for All iOS & Android Devices (Black) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08XXK9NB7/...DMRV4K8FJQKS23 The above adaptor is rated at 2.4A which is less than the 3.6A of the OE charger. A little slow to charge the phone but will keep the battery in good health. AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A 2.0 Male Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) - Black https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01GGKYKQM/...2N8BCKJ9EBDH0N I have this type C cable in my car for charging/Android auto. Working well for past 2 years. Last edited by ashis89 : 26th January 2022 at 12:34. | |

Wow! That got to you really fast. A note on charging. If you can drop the power for charging to something like 33 watt or in that range, I'd recommend doing so to extend the life off that battery. These ultra fast chargers are great but frequently charging the battery at this warp speed is likely to reduce battery life. You'll notice this maybe >2 or 3 years down the line, by which time you may well replace the phone. |

I have been using this charger with my Pixel 6 for close to a month now. It is a PD 3.0 25W charger. Note: Never tried a empty to full charge time check | |

- Glass build - Amoled display - Big battery with reasonably fast charging for the price - Headphone jack - Stock android (clean software without bloatware and ads) - Good processor for the price - UFS 2.1 high speed storage - Dedicated memory card slot I think this could be perfect for your requirements at one third of your budget. The only thing missing is 5G, which is pretty much a hype as of now. Last edited by Oxy : 28th January 2022 at 20:28. | |

| ![]() My Redmi Note 8 pro has started giving me troubles, today morning I woke up to find my phone in the reboot mode and it was moderately hot ! Somehow managed to get it running but then suddenly it's battery dropped down and it went into reboot mode. Left it on charging and now the phone seems to be working fine. I'm in confusion whether to repair this phone ( a battery replacement maybe ?) or hold on it for few months and get the Pixel 6, when it launches. If the current phone dies on me, I'd have to buy any Android phone under 20k ₹ so I'm seeking suggestions from you. My primary requirements are - Good Quality screen having refresh rate ( AMOLED, LCD whichever is better) Decent battery backup. I don't play any games on mobile, neither I'm an expert photographer so can compromise on the processor/camera aspects. I'm open to any brands, except Redmi/Mi cause I've been using these phones for over 6 years and would like some change ! |

You can look at the Realme 8i or the newly launched Realme 9i. Both are pretty decent specs for the money which is in the range of 16k for the 6gb versions. Realme is also a BBK company like OnePlus, oppo and Vivo and they are currently good value phones. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey guys, Please help. I am a HUGE voice typing guy and the voice typing on my S9 worked like a charm (like 98% accuracy). However, ever since I moved to the Flip, the voice typing is horrible (50% accuracy). Guessing this is to do with some settings? Further, I remember downloading an "offline file" from Google for voice typing when the network is poor, but I don't see the option for that anymore? Here are some screenshots if insightful. Thanks in advance ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by GTO : 30th January 2022 at 11:14. |
