Seeking Help I am interested in upgrading my parents phones. Which phones should I buy?

[ka2107]

I am interested in upgrading my parents phones (Galaxy S22 128 GB Indian Model SM-S901E/DS and Galaxy S23 256 GB USA Model SM-S911U1) to Galaxy S25 256 GB Indian Model. Since I have been outside India for a few years I have been out of touch with the Indian market.

When do typically prices in India drop on the Galaxy S series models?

Don't wait for offers or price drop specially online. When you brought with your saving money later next android update will tell you about hardware like error in updated files, green screen as company already noted which models were sold online.
I suggest you go with offline and buy smartphone without offer however it's will be less feature but latest soc and camera good.

Now you should not buy samsung flagship phones. After warranty over, you will get pink/green lines whether you buy online/offline. It was there in S 21, S22 now started in S23.
Buy samsung phone at the time of launching. It provides highest discount

Is OnePlus 13 (12 GB RAM, 256 GB ROM, INR 70,000) a better phone compared to Samsung Galaxy S25 (256 GB) Base Model?

What I preffer is go to offline stores and sell your old phone and buy a new phone. Show them the new phone's price online, they will agree to sell the new phone at online price.

Bro Better see any available options in Samsung. Since you are telling it for your parents and they have already used Samsung mobile. It will be difficult for them to switch to other UI. Experienced this with my parents.
