Planning to buy phone

Question

I want to buy a smartphone around โ‚น25K ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ

My first priority was the OnePlus Nord CE 5, but it is out of stock literally everywhere ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I check every day, searching again and again, but still no stock.

Will the Nord CE 5 come back in stock? Should I wait for it? ๐Ÿค”

Or should I buy another phone around this budget? Should I wait until next month for new launches + Flipkart G.O.A.T Sale? ๐Ÿ›’๐Ÿ”ฅ

Also, I have a plan ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚

My momโ€™s phone was bought last Diwali (October last year). It is the Realme P3 Ultra, but a few days ago it got a very minor glass crack (only 3 lines).

Should I buy a new phone for myself and give my phone to my mom instead? ๐Ÿ‘€

My priorities: ๐ŸŽฎ Very good gaming performance ๐Ÿ“ธ Good camera โœจ Clean & smooth UI โšก Overall all-rounder phone

Please help me decide ๐Ÿซก

Also, tell me about the OnePlus Nord CE 5 โ€” is it really worth waiting for? ๐Ÿš€
