Upgrading from 5-year-old Realme XT. Seeking suggestions under ₹30K

After 5 amazing years with my trusty Realme XT (Android 11), I'm due for an upgrade! I'm looking for a new smartphone that fits my budget of ₹30,000.

Here are my requirements:

  • Android 13 or newer (preferably latest version)
  • Smooth performance (gaming and multitasking)
  • Good camera quality (primary and selfie)
  • Long battery life (at least 1-day usage)
  • Amoled display (preferable) but not curved
  • Decent storage (128GB or more)
  • 5G connectivity
  • Fast charging

Some features I'm open to exploring:

  • Wireless charging (nice to have)
  • Water & dust resistance (IP rating)

I've considered brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo, and Oppo, but I'm open to other suggestions.

What phones would you recommend under ₹30,000? Share your experiences and suggestions!

Some specific questions:

  • Should I consider the latest Realme or Redmi series?
  • Is Samsung's mid-range segment worth exploring?
  • Any other brands or models I should look into?
