Hello Minar and Vaibhav, Minar, I can't commend you and what you are doing enough, having read what you wrote of your circumstances, thank you for being an awesome human π, again like I said, not many would do this sort of thing. No issues, feel free to write back to me whenever you are ready, and please just in case I happen to not get back to you poke me once again, as I have this propensity for missing people's messages and not getting back to them as fast as I'd like to. π And I totally understand, I do so often wish I could do a lot more than what I can and or am able to do, but... maybe in the future, fingers crossed. As for samsung and why there have not been any recommendations for it, to be perfectly honest with you, I usually don't recommend samsung to anyone if I can help it, because for me and my friends they haven't lasted that long, and usually start having issues within 6 months or 1 year of usage. Plus for the specs they offer they tend to be overpriced and I suppose they float by and manage on the basis of their brand value/ reputation like you said. But in this case, there's 1 point in it's favor, if someone here is able to recommend a good/ decent samsung around 15k or so, that being ease of use, at least last I tried it, and the 2 finger gestures to pick up and end calls like we do on IOS, but I suppose android 11? bought that functionality to all the others too? not quite sure. Vaibhav, Thank you for the suggestions there, mate. Would you be able to recommend a moto around the ballpark then? lets go with 15k. I am struggling to come up with something decent, having been out of touch in terms of android for a while. and aye, Redmi might be decent too, to get on with from what I have heard. Any input from anyone at all is welcome.
