Buying Strategy for Lowest Effective EMI

1. Decide maximum comfortable monthly EMI first.
2. Get live exchange value of your current phone on WhatsApp.
3. Check Zero Down eligibility for the shortlisted models.
4. Prefer 256 GB storage if the difference is under ₹1,500–2,000.
5. Always do full open-box verification at the store.

Why Software Support Matters More Than Peak Specs

A phone that receives timely security patches protects your banking apps, work emails and personal data. Brands promising only 1–2 years of updates become risky after 18 months. Samsung currently leads under ₹25,000, followed by Nothing and selected Google Pixel models when available.
