Redmi 12 (8/128)
Or infinix hot 40 (not the hot 40i) 8/256 (around 35k nowadays)
I'm using hot 40 pro, moved back to infinix after 9 years and they have improved a lot in all aspects except low light camera optimization but none of the shortlisted phones have good camera either so I can confidently recommend it as it offers best specifications.
Also bought 2 x note 30 pro, 1x note 30.
Rest of the options have unisoc processors which aren't as optimized
Samsung A14 and Oppo A18 may have a tiny bit better build quality but 4GB ram which doesn't cut it anymore in 2024.
