Infinix GT 20 Pro 5G price in India
+ Compare
Rs.24,850

Pros: RGB aesthetics, Reliable performance, Worthy gaming companion, Long battery life

Cons: No ultra-wide camera, Average charging speed

Verdict: With its functional RGB aesthetics, tall-vivid display, and snappy performance, the Infinix GT 20 Pro remains a top choice for gamers on an aggressive budget. It also offers a long battery backup, though the charging speed could be improved in the next iteration. The additional accessories, like the GT Metcha Case and Cooling fan, add loads of versatility to the overall device. Its cameras are decent, at least in daylight, but low-light performance can use refinements.

POCO F6 price in India
+ Compare
Rs.24,449

Pros: Impressive performance, Excellent display quality, Capable cameras

Cons: Design lacks premium look and feel, Pre-installed apps

Verdict: The POCO F6 feels like a modest upgrade to the F5, maintaining the current trends. The smartphone`s performance is among the best, and the display quality is impressive, though I wish it featured an LTPO panel. Despite this, the cameras are good for a gaming-focused device, and both battery life and charging speeds are respectable.

vivo T4 price in India
+ Compare
Rs.21,498

Pros: Sleek & durable design, Capable performance, Massive battery, Speedy charging

Cons: No ultrawide lens, Lacks NFC support

Verdict: The Vivo T4 impresses on multiple fronts, reinforcing its position as one of the standout options in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment. While it does edge up in price compared to its predecessors, the additions in the battery, upgraded chipset, and quick charging speeds justify the bump. Its minor trade-offs (like the lack of an ultrawide camera and NFC) don`t outweigh its strengths, making it a compelling buy, especially for power users and gamers.

Nothing Phone 3a price in India
+ Compare
Rs.24,999

Pros: Vibrant display, Clean OS, Good cameras, Solid battery

Cons: Bulky design, No charger in the box

The camera performance is also reliable, and the Phone 3a holds up well against some notable competitors and its predecessor. However, its distinctive design and latest hardware additions add to the thickness, and hopefully, its future iterations will become slimmer.

Rs.23,891
 Notify Me

Pros: Metal build, Fast charging, Clean UI, Reliable performance

Cons: Average video recording, Cameras get limited modes

Verdict: There`s no doubt the Nord 4 is the most refined Nord smartphone ever, and it may even feel slightly more premium than the OnePlus 12R. The new Qualcomm chipset, metal body, and solid battery backup give it an edge. Its camera performance is reliable, though OnePlus may want to add new AI features. The dual-tone finish may raise some eyebrows though.

Motorola Edge 60 Stylus price in India
+ Compare
Rs.23,219

Pros: Slim and durable design, Vibrant display, Practical AI features, Fast charging

Cons: Palm rejection with stylus use needs improvement, Low-light photography

Verdict: The Edge 60 Stylus stands out as one of the best choices for productivity users in the sub-Rs 25K segment.

What truly sets this apart is the bundled stylus, a feature previously seen only on Samsung`s `Ultra` smartphones. While the implementation is not flawless, Motorola has raised the bar by making stylus support accessible at this price point.

Cons: No ultra-wide camera, Pre-installed apps

Verdict: The Realme P3 Pro is easily among the most compelling mid-range options available in India right now. It offers solid performance, an immersive multimedia experience, and a large battery. The cameras deliver good results too, though the lack of an ultra-wide lens limits its versatility. The only other drawback is the somewhat cluttered OS, though this may not be a dealbreaker for users upgrading from an older Realme smartphone.

Motorola Edge 50 Neo price in India
+ Compare
Rs.21,449

Pros: Compact build, Vivid display, Telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, Clean Android OS

Cons: Video recording needs improvements, Dated Gorilla Glass 3 protection

Verdict: The Edge 50 Neo demonstrates that smartphones with premium features can exist without a premium price tag. Whether it is the clean Android OS or the telephoto camera, the Edge 50 offers plenty of versatility. The Dimensity 7300 SoC under the hood equally provides respectable juice for smooth usage. Having said that, the Edge 50 Neo could improve in video recording. For gaming, it offers adequate performance, but the Infinix GT 20 Pro remains our top recommendation.

The smartphone also offers a reliable 50MP primary camera but skips the ultra-wide shooter, which is unsettling at this price range.
