Smartphone recommendation under $250

[AC Question]

Hello

This is my first post in this forum and I am not sure if such questions are allowed here. I would very much appreciate some help with choosing an android smartphone within $250.

My priorities are:-

1. Longer lasting battery.
2. Good camera (no specific MP in mind)
3. VoLTE support.

I had owned an MI device before and was thoroughly disappointed with their lackluster after sales service and so I am refraining from buying another MI or other Chinese branded smartphone. I am not saying that they all have poor service everywhere, but here in India, they are really bad.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Many thanks

If you're looking to pick up a phone in India, just get the Moto G4 Plus. Best overall device for under ₹15,000. If you can increase your budget to about ₹20,000, then definitely get the Lenovo Z2 Plus.

I understand the frustration with Xiaomi's service centers. For what it's worth, they said they'll bring service in-house starting next year.

You can always try looking at the Xiaomi Mi series. If you want good camera quality you can try looking at Samsung, LG or Sony smartphones.
