What phone should I buy? 😭 I’m putting my own money into it this time

[u/SuspiciousMeow_0102]

​

I’m looking for a phone in the ₹45–55k range and I’m honestly being VERY careful this time because I’m spending my own hard-earned money on it 😭 So I really don’t want to regret my purchase.

My priorities, in order:

1. 📸 Camera – MOST IMPORTANT

   I want to shoot vlogs + photos + videos, so I need a genuinely good camera and video quality, especially stabilization and front camera quality.

2. 💾 Storage – 512GB preferred

   I take a LOT of photos and videos, and I’m planning to vlog, so 256GB feels a bit risky for me. I’d really prefer 512GB.

3. 🔋 Battery – VERY IMPORTANT

   I’m a heavy user, around 8–9 hours of screen time a day. I need something that can comfortably get me through the day without having to charge multiple times.

4. ⚡ Fast charging

   Since I use my phone heavily, I’d like reasonably fast charging so even a short top-up is useful.

I’m open to any brands. I’m mainly looking for the best overall phone for my use, not just the best specs on paper.

What would you personally buy with ₹45–55k if camera + storage + battery + charging were your priorities? And what phones should I absolutely avoid?

Please give me your brutally honest recommendations 🙏😭
