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?

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.

All flagship models are sold at exact same price for apple and samsung

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

Opinions differ. Although both are equally good devices with the best specs, I would definitely say OP13 is a better value for money device than S25. And Oxygen OS is not as complicated as some of the UIs in the market. But I do agree with some of the replies here which states that someone used with Samsung would like/prefer Samsung. End of the day it is your decision and OP13 will not disappoint you.

It has also green/pink line issue

I think it is time to move over from this green line dramas. Firstly this issue is not brand specific. It happens to all brands, even iPhone and S24. Most importantly, all the brands have cracked the code and have fixed this on their latest releases. The devices launched after the 2H 2023 have very less reports of green lines. The issue is on the decline since then. It is not worth talking about green lines in 2025.
