Budget 10-15K Recommend me a good android phone

I am looking to replace my Redmi Note Pro 7. Here is what I want:

- good performance
- good display and speakers
- good battery life
- expandable storage
- dual sim
- camera is not a priority

I short listed some, but I am not sure how good are they:

1. CMF by Nothing Phone 1: I am not sure about software quality of Nothing. Also, this is a new brand, so don't know how good is their service in India
2. Poco X6: It ticks all of boxes, but it has non expandable storage
3. OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G: Heard from a friend that OP has lost quality control and phones are bricking after software updates
4. Motorola g85

The prices are slightly high now, but during festive offers they were all around 15K (Nothing was at 13k). So I am hoping to buy during Diwali sale.

Don't even consider poco. I think poco is shutting down its all website and service by December end and it has motherboard issues.

One plus green line issue, my friend has it feels like a cheap phone.

Moto g85 again screen and software update issues, they will give updates so late.

My father has cmf nothing 1 blue color, very good phone for 15k - nice processor, 2 camera in back unlike those ugly phones with 4 cameras, best software super clean and effective, great battery, expandable too.


I think you should go for cmf if you prefer a balanced , clean phone

CMF phone 1 will be my top pick, check GSMArena review. I think its software is good, better than BBK or Xiaomi but UI is kind of subjective. Xiaomi's OS optimization seems poor compared to others as its phones have consistently low battery life relative to its competitors, again check GSMArena.

If you are in a Tier 1 or 2 city, Nothing might have its service centre already.
