Suggestions for Mobile Phone for 23k
Friend is looking to get a mobile phone for around 23k. He is currently using k20 pro. Need automated voice call recording without announcement as well as ability to block numbers based on prefix/pattern (all numbers block starting from digits 12345 etc) like available in his k20 miui 12. Very little to no gaming but more than usual camera usage (clicking photos as well as video recording mainly via primary backside camera) so good primary camera is required which should be at least better than k20 pro. Also need good memory mgmt so apps stays in background without refreshing for a day or two. Currently selected Note 13 Pro+ based on above but open to any better suggestions. NFC is required.

Redmi note 13 pro 5G. Using for the last couple of months.
Happy with it.
It can NOT block the 1234*. I could not find the option. However, you can block individual numbers.
Receive the call. Submit a request in DND3 app. Block the number and flag it as scam.
I can't comment about the imaging perf. in non-flagships. One can consult the likes of GSMArena for the same. Tasker or probably Macrodroid as well can be used to block nos. in anyway one wishes. In my 12GB Poco F4 running completely stock MIUI 14 (not updating to HyOS) Tasker mostly remains in memory w/o any interaction for few to several days at a time but it can get killed randomly. If the user interacts with the app once in a while MIUI is much more lenient even in case of bg apps. I have no complaints about the RAM management albeit it's a bit more aggressive than what I am used to in AOSP custom ROMs. I am a tab hoarder and still Kiwi with dozens of tabs and several extensions is not evicted from memory for even a day or two usually. Enabling the Work Profile however is a bit too much in terms of demands on RAM and it usually triggers tab reloads. I keep WP disabled most of the time anyway.
Google Phone is the default dialer in F4. Late in 2023 it got the ability to record calls somewhat anonymously in the sense only a beep is played instead of the earlier call recording announcement. However the call recordings can't be exported AFAICT.
Otherwise Cube ACR has been ~100% reliable in the almost 2 years I have used it so far. Advanced features like presumably blocking nos. require subscription which isn't cheap. Hence Tasker or MD is better.
Why don't you use miui dialer now, I thought it is now available for all xiaomi models having miui14. Cube ACR can now record calls without 3rd party/conference call/speakerphone method completely on local phone on latest A14? My friend would rather not use 3rd party apps for call recording & I also have the same opinion.
any phone under 25k will feel like downgrade compared k20 pro. o dialer provides some good blocking option.
realme GT 6T would be good.
I am using truecaller prefix call blocking, its pretty useful and has a backup option so even if I change phone My blocklist is transferred.
I get spam call, see its landline, i block the first 4 digits
I blocked most prefix, hardly get any spams. Planned to make a post in DD with prefix list so others can use, Can't get time
on your call recording issue, I have used oneplus/ vivo/oppo/ realme/ mi and samsung. Just disable google dialer app in settings and Install there's own company dialer app and you get all old features. Google made mandatory to use their dialer for companies to use Android but can't force users
Moto edge 50 neo. Except call recording without announcement everything check
