The golden rule of selecting a good PHONE is -
For example, If you are a student, and your parents who are not very handy with tech want to buy you an expensive phone just because they want to do something for you or may be because they can afford.
Now this is called an emotional approach.
Practical approach would be to know why do you need that particular PHONE and what are your needs.
The boxes I would like to tick before buying a phone-
1) BUDGET
Right now I would prefer a phone under 30,000 Indian rupees (around 360 USD)Setting the budget is important to avoid confusion. If I don't set an upper limit I would be confused with the features as the market has unlimited to offer.
2) DISPLAY
CURVED OR FLAT ?Despite having visual benefits like reducing glare etc. in curved display, I would go for a flat one. I've used flat ones and I am quite satisfied with them. Durability wins for me as phones have a very little contribution in my screen time.
Already large phones are too big for my hands so I don't wanna risk dropping them.
3) CAMERA
Once someone told me that - "If you want good pictures, buy a camera not phone", he further explained by saying that, in India people buy cars seeing their big trunk and compromise with the engine.This statement seemed logical at that time.
But, now I think phones these days can serve the dual purpose of being an above average camera if not a great one so why not use them.
4) PROCESSOR
I definitely want a Snapdragon processor as my previous experience with Mediatek and Exynos in the same range has been quite average. (I've not tried others)5) STORAGE
Storage warning pop-ups are the worst, you need to keep deleting files to make space for new ones. I definitely want my phone to store a decent amount of data.Not less than 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
6) BATTERY
I have used OPPO A71 with a battery of 3000mAh capacity, and it was not worth it.So this time I'll go for atleast a 5000 mAh battery.
Phone...
Now, the phone which fits the criteria is..
Vivo T3 PRO
However, it is available in curved display. I'll let go of the 2nd criteria as the other check-boxes are ticked.
I'll buy this one : )
Reading reviews before buying is important .

Yea I think it's crazy some people spend over €1500 (or $1700) for the new best phone, while they surely could do everything with a much less expensive phone.
The brand you mentioned isn't selling in Europe, I hope you like it!
Buying expensive phone is not a problem. Having proper reasons to buy and knowing why you want that particular thing is a must. Being expensive is actually subjective.
Thanks for stopping. !PIZZA

Mine is oneplus 12R which is around 46000 with 16GB RAM and 256GB.my intention in buying a somewhat costly mobile is i want use it for 4 years. Previously i bougt oneplus 7T in 2019 with my internship salary which is around 30k and i used it till 2024. Now i purchased this 12R so i have to use it for 4 to 5 years instead of changing every 2 years low budget mobile and i am in studying phase i will use maximum mobile. I have ipad air which i purchased recently for my studies purpose. Your phone is good. By the way what you are doing? You are student?
Thanks for posting. Hope you will do more like this.
Seems like you are very clear about what you want. Buying from your own money is the best thing.
ipads can be of great help for so many purposes. I love them. Will definitely buy one if got a chance.
I think this phase is gonna last long.
I'm happy to see you in comments after a long time. Take care.
