Also If I buy from Samsung, do they allow to input GST number?
My main reason to shift to android is Live Truecaller and may be call recording otherwise I still love the iphone 11.
Offers will be there as and when they announce the pricing for India and its available on Amazon and Samsung shop app itself. I am expecting atleast a 5k discount on HDFC card just like it was for S21 FE. Looking to get myself S22 plus as Ultra will be quite big for my need and i have no use for a S pen. Also, Samsung hasn't announced but India will most probably get 8Gen1 chipset so that's good news.

We got the G71 5G for my wife only for stock android experience, it's a bit hard to get it from Flipkart as it's mostly Out of Stock. But it's restocked now & then. Overall a decent phone with no wow factor.

I would suggest the Moto G31 or G51, there are many comparo videos on YouTube, please check and go for the one that you like better.
G71 is definitely out of my budget. So, I need to decide between G40 Fusion and G31. Any idea how is Mediatek processor? I mean, compared to Snapdragon 732G? I see that G40 fusion is almost an year old handset. But other than being bulky, do you think of any other advantage of going with G31 against G40 fusion?

Mediatek is found on many midrange smartphones across brands and they're working. I don't know how they fair otherwise.

Other point is that the Amoled display of the G31 but I think G40 has a higher refreshed rate!

The form factor should be your decider or you may have to flip a coin

Re: Android Thread: Phones / Apps / Mods

My Home Minister's Realme 3 Pro(6/128) has slowed down a lot so she is looking for a mobile with the following needs

1. Good Camera
2. Good Display
3. Long Battery life
4. Great Processor
5. Samsung or any brand with low SAR value

Budget - 25k
Typical usage pattern - 2 to 2.5yrs

Any recommendations?

The Samsung M52. If you can stretch your budget, the A52s can be considered. Samsung has promised 3 major OS updates for the A52s.

Did consider the A52s at Rs.31500 after some discounts but she feels it's a little overpriced for what it offers. Planning to visit a Samsung Plaza for a look at it in flesh.

I don't know where you are planning to use this phone as hotspot zone, but if it is going to be used inside home, just get the WiFi range extender ! I suppose any budget smartphone with minimum specs will do the job fine. I'd suggest look for smartphones with 5000mHz battery, as hotspot drains battery a lot faster.

My wife broke the charging cable for her 7 pro, and after trying out meant cables which provides warp charge, One of my friends told me to get oppo. I too could not find the one plus cable even in their own stores. My friend told me that the charging hardware for one plus is really oppo.
Give it a shot.

I too considered A52s for a long time. But, finally went with Samsung S20 FE 5G. Have a comparo. My reasoning was - for about 5K more, I was getting far better camera, better processor, better audio (tuned by AKG) and better build. Don't get me wrong, A52s is a capable device but from my existing A50, I wanted a much better camera.

I used Samsung Corporate Website and it clearly has best prices only (better than Amazon / FK). I was considering only non-Chinese brands, so did not consider Moto, Mi, BBK group (OnePlus, Realme, Oppo) and Vivo.

Hi @dmplog,

Can you tell us what advantages/disadvantages are there if we buy phone from corporate website via work email ID.

Thanks.
