Budget 15-20K Need Mobile for around 15k-20k

Broke one of our phones today during journey. Need to buy a phone in a couple of days.

Please suggest any good phones within 15k-20k.

I've considered Samsung M34, but it's almost a year since it was released and processor is almost 2 years old in that 15k range.
For a slightly more budget, Oneplus Nord CE 4 is available for 23.5k, but has Panda glass as protection. Has anyone bought this phone?

Only interested in brands that have no nonsense OS, so poco, xiaomi, etc are out of question. and better warranty/service so probably moto/vivo are out.
So considering that, Samsung and oneplus seems possible choices.

I don't care abt gaming performance. Decent camera and battery life, less heating, a very good display and no hang/lag issues are the needs.

Let me know ur suggestions.
 
Get OP Nord CE4, solid allrounder under 25k. OP's UI is better than Xiaomi, but still it is Color OS now, not the old clean Oxygen OS. For UI, get Nothing 2a. If you are in a Tier 1/2 city, support shouldn't be a big issue.

Samsung phones have poor SoCs & a notch, else can live with other limitations like 25W charging, no charger in box, etc.

The only thing I'm worried about Nord CE4 is, it doesn't have Gorilla glass protection.. Redmi atleast gave that in redmi note 13 pro, but that os is garbage.
