best option would be along the lines of the Pocophone and then converting it to stock android for the better Google camera App and better UI in general

Hmm I am not confident in flashing a new OS on a brand new android, I am not much of a tinkerer good idea though. Thanks.

Although I've heard that Xiaomi has yet to Monetize the hell out of the new Poco UI like they did with -MIUI- memeUI

There's also the Honor Play, it's pretty much a Huawei equivalent of the Pocophone.

Is Kirin 970 AI equivalent to a Snapdragon 845? 

No one has a Huawei android in my neighbourhood 

Actually now that I think about it, not many people have heard of Huawei here. And there is no Huawei service center in my region so there is no way to fix the android should a problem occur.

Yeah, kind-of. It's the flagship Huawei SoC that competed with the SD845. It's a bit slower on both the CPU & GPU side but from what I've seen, it's not as if you'd actually notice that. Its performance got improved with the Android Pie update thanks to optimizations though.

Well, any repairs would likely be made via the store that you're gonna buy the phone from so I wouldn't worry - unless you break it yourself. But even then, a usually cheaper way to fix it would be to give it to a local phone repair store, they shouldn't have any problem fixing both a Xiaomi or a Huawei phone.

Hmm okay I'll look into it.

Also I'll buy them online, not from a physical retail store.

And do you have any suggestions for the headsets I've asked in the topic?

I've also heard that the Poco F1 is having numerous issues from its Pie update. Till what extent is it true and are the major ones fixed?

Kirin 970 roughly equals Snapdragon 835 in age, performance, and whatnot. Kirin 980 beats the Snapdragon 845 by a bit (since it's a lot newer).

 

Pocophone F1 is a great choice if you don't need NFC and wireless charging. It's one of the fastest Snapdragon 845 phones (beats my OnePlus 6 in Antutu!) out there.

You don't need a custom ROM on it to get great photos, you just need to use the ported Google Camera (GCAM) easily available and simple to install.

I don't require Wireless Charging, I have no interest in that.

I think I won't need NFC since I don't really share data, I just use bluetooth for transfer. Well if you had to pick between Poco F1 and Honor Play, which one would you pick?

My budget is hard Rs.20000 INR and Honor Play is a tad bit more expensive (23k). So I cannot buy that. Maybe I'll suggest it to a friend

 

Also any suggestion on the Headsets I've requested in the Main Topic. Sorry if its long.

Thanks

For those who haven't read the Main Topic,

TL;DR 

I need a cost-effective android (20k INR Budget) and cost-effective In-ear and Over-ear wireless and wired headsets (800 INR budget)

[191x7]

Get the Poco. That's all.

 

For the cheap headphones, I have no idea. Check the site AudioBudget.
