Rs.17,500

See more prices

Pros: Outstanding battery life, Smooth performance, Impressive thermal efficiency, Good daylight cameras

Cons: No NFC support, Average Low-light photography, Many pre-installed apps

Verdict: The OPPO K13 impresses with its strong battery life, fast charging, and efficient thermal management. While its overall performance is in line with other devices in its segment, its ability to stay cool under pressure makes it a compelling choice for power users. The cameras perform reliably in daylight, and the display is well-suited for indoor content consumption. However, those who prioritise a cleaner software experience or stronger low-light photography might find better alternatives in devices from Realme or Lava.

Pros: Premium & durable design, Excellent multimedia experience, Great performance, Impressive battery life

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.

Pros: Unique design, Respectable performance, Clean software, Versatile camera setup

Cons: Charging speeds need improvement, Mediocre ultrawide camera, No stereo speakers

Verdict: The CMF Phone 2 Pro may not be the most powerful smartphone in its price range, but it distinguishes itself from the competition with its unique design, custom accessories, and versatile triple-camera setup.

Pros: Tall vivid display, Sleek design, Good gaming companion, Super fast charging

Cons: No ultra-wide camera, Loads of pre-installed apps

Verdict: The Realme 13+ is a solid recommendation if performance and battery (with fast charging) matter to you. It also exhibited a reliable performance in our gaming test, especially in the BGMI round. However, unlike the Realme 13 Pro models, the camera capabilities of the Realme 13+ are decent, if not better. In that case, you might want to check out the Edge 50 Fusion. If cameras aren`t a big priority, the Realme 13+ won`t disappoint.

Pros: Long battery backup, 4K video recording for front and rear cameras, 4 years of Android OS promise, NFC support

Cons: Bulky build, Slow charging, Low-light photography needs improvements

Verdict: For dialy work, the Samsung Galaxy M35 5G is a good choice, especially if battery life matters to you. Samsung has also been thoughtful to add NFC support, which may help users relying significantly on digital transactions. The new Exynos chipset provides improved performance over last year`s model. However, Samsung still needs to improve the low-light camera performance, perhaps in the next iteration. Reducing the weight without compromising battery capacity would also be a significant step forward.
