Pros: Good display, Reliable cameras, Snappy performance, Solid battery

Cons: No NFC support, Build quality could`ve been better

Verdict: The iQOO Neo 10R testifies that reliable and powerful smartphones don`t need to be overly expensive. With the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC onboard, users can expect a snappy performance, be it for daily productivity or gaming. The phone also packs reliable cameras, particularly for video recording. However, the build quality could have been better. Additionally, the lack of NFC support in this segment might be a drawback for some users in the long run.

realme P3 Ultra

Rs.26,999

See more prices

Pros: Sleek & lightweight design, Solid performance, Reliable cameras, Large battery & fast charging

Cons: Peak display brightness could have been better, Limited software support

Verdict: The Realme P3 Ultra, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra chipset, delivers impressive performance - not just against its P3 siblings but also its key rivals. While raw power is a priority, the phone doesn`t compromise on other aspects. It boasts a striking design, a capable camera setup, excellent battery life, and fast charging speeds, all complemented by a respectable display, which could`ve been better with brighter in normal conditions.

Nothing Phone 3a Pro

Rs.29,999

See more prices

Pros: Unique transparent design with Glyph interface, Powerful chipset for smooth performance, Improved camera setup, Clean, bloat-free Android experience

Cons: No charger in the box, Charging speeds are not the fastest in its class, Periscope lens needs improvement

Verdict: While its distinctive design may not appeal to everyone, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro stands out with a bright display, solid performance, clean software, and decent battery life. The Essential Space feature is a promising addition, though it could use refinements, much like the periscope telephoto camera, which falls short of complementing an otherwise impressive camera system.

Pros: Capable processor, IP68 dust and water resistance, Impressive portrait shots

Cons: Flicker sensor doesn`t help much, Skin smoothening in images

Verdict: While the Vivo T3 Ultra doesn`t feature ZEISS branding and filters as far as optics are concerned, the handset delivers decent camera performance for its price. With a powerful processor, a smooth and immersive display, and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, the T3 Ultra is a worthy all-rounder at its price.

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.

Pros: Stylish design, Rugged build, Reliable cameras, Solid battery backup

Cons: Loads of pre-installed apps, Benchmark scores don`t match rivals

Verdict: The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is a solid choice if battery, vibrant display, and cameras matter to you. The phone is also among the most stylish devices in the segment. However, the company still needs to refine the UI by reducing the number of pre-installed third-party apps. While its performance is well-suited for productivity tasks, the gaming experience is decent, though there are slightly stronger options available in the market.

OPPO F29 Pro

Rs.27,999

See more prices

Pros: IP69-rated durability, Tall, vibrant display, Solid battery, OPPO AI features

Cons: Pre-installed apps, Limited OS support, No ultra-wide camera

Verdict: The OPPO F29 Pro is among the few phones in its segment that meaningfully puts AI to work. Features like AI Reply make handling emails and messages a breeze, while AI Summary can condense entire web pages in seconds. The 50MP primary camera holds up well across different lighting conditions, though the absence of an ultra-wide sensor might be a deal-breaker for some. OPPO must also consider reducing the number of pre-installed apps to deliver a more intuitive Android experience.

Verdict: The Realme 14 Pro+ is a compelling option for its price, offering a robust IP69-rated design with smooth performance, a reliable camera setup, and excellent battery life. Features such as Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection and rapid 80W charging further enhance its appeal. That said, the device isn`t without its drawbacks. Its UI remains cluttered due to loads of pre-installed apps. Its display brightness also could`ve been better, considering the competition.

Pros: Sleek & lightweight design, Vibrant AMOLED display, Reliable battery life, Decent primary camera

Cons: Lacks the punch in performance, Ultrawide & low-light images need improvement

Verdict: The Vivo V50e aims to balance style, performance, and battery life in the competitive sub-Rs 30K segment. While the cameras are reliable and prioritise a natural look, they can occasionally lack the sharpness and vibrancy of the more premium Vivo V50. The Vivo V50e handles daily tasks like calling, browsing, and light gaming with ease, but power users might crave more performance - especially with iQOO and POCO offering some stellar gaming-focused options.

Pros: Sleek design, Fast charging, Gen AI features, Vivid display

Verdict: Simply considering the hardware, the OPPO Reno 12 Pro may surprise many users. But its native AI features give the smartphone an edge over rivals, and its performance is surprisingly smooth despite modest specifications. The camera and battery performance are decent, if not the best. However, given the aggressive competition, OPPO needs to revamp the next Reno smartphone with high-end hardware to stand out. But if you value cameras, sleek design, and a vivid display, the Reno12 Pro won`t disappoint.

Verdict: OPPO F27 Pro+ comes with a premium design and durability features that make it extremely rugged. It also offers decent cameras with better image quality than most other phones in its price range. However, the processor feels underwhelming in this price range. If you want a phone that can survive torrential weather and frequent drops, this is the phone for you. But if your priority is performance, you should look elsewhere.
