Planning to a good phone under 35k

So I'm planning to gift myself something this year.

I didnt think much of cameras but I want it to be reliable. And I don't like miui. I am believer of using phones for years, 4-5 or even more

How's the Pixel series in India?

Secondly Is s23 worth it in 2025?

One plus is a bit too big for me and idk the cameras. For performance I do play genshin.

I just need answers to questions

:D

EDIT:

Well last time the Pixel 8 went for 30k in BBD Will it happen with Pixel 9 too :) though I saw the pixel 9 does not have a vapour chamber.
