I will probably go for Samsung if there isn't any other good option with Stock Android. My 2nd pick will definitely be OneUI.

Yes they are slightly expensive compared to xiaomi but comes with ad free.. also have to sacrifice snapdragon chipset.. so my current favourite phone is Samsung Galaxy A70.

I going to stick with the M Series. Some of the A Series phones have same or slightly inferior specs than M Series phones, but they are priced way higher than the M Series.
Take A50s & M30s for example. Both have exactly same specs. Infact M30s has 6000mAh battery, while A50s has 4000mAh. M30s (4GB) is available at ₹12,999 & A50s (4GB) is available for ₹17,999. Why would people spend extra ₹5k for the same thing, unless they love the letter "A". Doesn't make sense.

A70 makes sense, as there is no other phone with the exact same specs from their own brand.
Edit: Nvm.. M40 has similar specs as A70. Including a Snapdragon 675.

I think M31 will also have more or less the same specs as A51.

I have 4 "A" letter in my name.

Wrong. M40 has 6.3 inch PLS TFT capacitive touchscreen, 3500mah battery, 16 MP selfie camera and no under display fingerprint (mandatory for me).

Yeah, I almost forgot about that. But why can't they launch phone with a different name?

Asus 6z sales were not too good compared to Rog phone 2 and zenfone 5z. They don't want to destroy the goodwill of the Max Pro series.

Actually you are better off without an IDFS. Their performance isn't great compared to ultrasonic fingerprint or the regular fp sensor

Yeah.. they skimped a few things out.

But the A50s & M30s are exactly same. M30s also has 2000mAh larger battery than A50s & cost ₹5k less.

Are there any good phones with micro USB 2.0 still in the market currently? Just so that the plenty of other old charges can be used as well instead of having only one charger that comes with a phone of Type C.

Top 10 brands will only release phones with Type C going forward. Still wondering why you still want micro USB when usb c advantages are more. If it's for an existing phone, then fine.

Think I didn't word it properly in the earlier post. Just looking to make use of the existing micro usb chargers of the old phones that I have lying around than getting stuck with only one type C charger that comes with a new phone. Plus these chargers still seem more prevalent at public places/friends/work place while borrowing.

Few questions please
1. Could you elaborate on what you meant by 'if its for an existing phone'
2. What advantages does type c offer that you can think of? - One I know is it can be plugged in both ways as opposed to plugging it in one specific way with the micro usb. Ofcourse, fast charging too I suppose
3. Any current phones with micro usb that you could recommend and are available for purchase?
