Best Mobile Phones Under 70,000 (Apr 2025)

Verdict: The OnePlus 13 is easily the most powerful OnePlus smartphone yet, thanks to the Qualcomm 8 Elite 8 powering the device. The new iteration also excels in key areas, including durability, display, battery, and cameras. Even software-wise, the OnePlus 13 still delivers a clean Android experience, though some proprietary apps (App Picks and so) feel unnecessary and there`s no option to delete them. Overall, whatever OnePlus 12 does good, the OnePlus 13 raises the bar.

Verdict: The Vivo X200 stands out as one of the best camera smartphones in its segment, excelling in both still photography and video. With new additions like the Dimensity 9400 SoC and a 5,800mAh battery, it also proves to be a reliable contender for productivity-focused users. However, Vivo could further improve the user experience by minimising the number of pre-installed apps. Additionally, integrating generative AI features, which competitors like Samsung and OPPO are rapidly adopting, could give it an edge.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 15 is easily the best compact flagship on the market right now. Not only does it retain the same compact form factor as its predecessor, but it also manages to house a larger battery while being slightly lighter. Additionally, it offers fast performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a reliable set of Leica cameras, solid battery life, and fast charging. That said, you may encounter occasional camera-related issues and performance throttling, but the pros outweigh the cons.

Verdict: OPPO Find X8 is a well-rounded handset that comes with a compact design and impressive build quality. With a capable Hasselblad Master Camera System, the phone can click stunning zoom shots too. The Find X8 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, which allows it to deliver seamless performance. The OPPO flagship comes with many pre-installed apps but if you can look past that, you get a seamless experience and future-proof hardware.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 14 is a loaded smartphone that scores high on most aspects. Purists might not like the bunch of pre-installed apps it comes with, and there are some small issues in terms of how the cameras handle light flares. Those apart, the device shines in terms of performance, fast charging, and above all, the versatility of its Leica cameras. The smartphone`s size is perfect for one-handed usage as well.

Verdict: The Vivo X100 Pro is quite easily one of the best camera phones in the market right now, offering a versatile triple rear camera system backed by ZEISS. In addition to a reliable camera system, the Vivo X100 Pro also delivers a stunning display, fast and smooth performance with the Dimensity 9300 chipset, and blazing-fast charging, among other things.

Verdict: With the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung offers you a cover screen that is actually usable, although not all apps are worth using. The new hinge allows the phone to fold flat, enhancing the overall design even more than before. The snappy chipset and dependable cameras round out a nearly complete package.
