Top mobile phones to purchase for less than Rs 60,000 in India
The introduction of the OnePlus 12 hasn't directly led to a decrease in the official price of the OnePlus 11 5G. However, Amazon is presently providing a straight Rs 4,000 immediate discount on both models of the OnePlus 11 5G. As a result, you can get the high-end version of the 11, which comes with 16GB RAM and quicker 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, within this price range. The smartphone boasts impressive specifications, including Qualcomm's past top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which remains highly potent.
The phone's aluminium frame and rounded edges make it feel solid and comfortable to hold. It features a 6.7-inch curved LTPO3 AMOLED screen with a 3216 x 1440 pixel resolution and a maximum brightness of 1300 nits. The display, compliant with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, supports a 10-bit colour range and a variable refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. With a 5000 mAh battery, the phone can easily last a day and a half with moderate usage, and the included 100W charger can fully recharge it in less than thirty minutes.
On the rear, the device comes with a 50MP main camera that has Optical Image Stabilization and color tuning by Hasselblad. The additional cameras are also impressive, featuring a 48MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus that can also function as a high-quality macro camera, and a 32MP telephoto camera with 2X optical zoom capable of excellent portrait photography. The OnePlus 11 5G was initially launched with OxygenOS 13, which is based on Android 13, but it can currently be upgraded to Android 14 and will continue to receive updates for the next few years.
The cost of the OnePlus 11 5G with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage in India is Rs 59,990.
The iQOO 12 5G is an extremely powerful smartphone, arguably the most potent in its category. It uses Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, and offers two options – one with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and another with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Similar to the OnePlus 11, it also features the speedy UFS 4.0 storage. The phone showcases a 6.78-inch 10-bit HDR10+ compliant LTPO AMOLED screen with a 2800 x 1260 pixel resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate, capable of reaching a brightness of 3000 nits. The device operates on Android 14 with FunTouch OS 14.
The back camera system is equipped with an impressive trio. It is led by a 50MP primary camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), and is joined by a 50MP ultra-wide camera with auto-focus that also offers macro photography options. Additionally, there's a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS that provides 3X optical zoom and serves as a high-quality portrait camera. The 16MP front camera effectively manages selfies and video chats. The iQOO 12 5G's 5000 mAh battery can sustain a day and a half of average usage, and its accompanying 120W fast charger can fully charge it in under 30 minutes.
The cost of iQOO 12 5G in India is Rs 52,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage model, and Rs 57,999 for the 16GB RAM/512GB storage version.
With the release of the iPhone 15, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 have become significantly more reasonably priced. It's generally understood that Apple products offer better value for the price a year or two following their launch, making it an ideal time to purchase either the iPhone 14 or the iPhone 13. Both phones share similar designs, features, and specs, and the reasoning behind this can only be explained by Apple itself. However, considering the iPhone 13 is cheaper, it's naturally the better option of the two, unless the number 13 happens to unnerve you.
In this price range, you have the option of selecting the latest Apple iPhone 14 or its predecessor, the iPhone 13, both of which come with 128GB storage. Each phone features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with a 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution, and supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Their smaller design makes them comfortable to hold, and they also have an IP68 rating, ensuring they are dust and water-resistant. Both devices operate on Apple's previous top-of-the-line A15 Bionic chip, but the iPhone 14 has an additional 2GB of RAM.
The hardware capabilities are fairly robust and can handle most activities, including playing video games. The device features two 12MP rear cameras – with the main one equipped with Optical Image Stabilization and the other having the ability to capture ultra-wide images. The photography and video recording quality is exceptional, as is typical for an iPhone. Both devices are currently operating on iOS 17, and are expected to receive further OS updates in the next three to four years.
The cost of the Apple iPhone 14 with 128GB storage in India is Rs 57,999, while the Apple iPhone 13 with the same storage capacity is priced at Rs 52,499.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G is another excellent choice in this price range, with its 256GB storage model now available for less than 50K. Like other models, this phone also has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and boasts a sleek design. The phone features an aluminum frame and a glass back, both protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that offers a maximum brightness of 1450 nits, supports HDR10+, and has a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G boasts a flexible photography system. It comes with a 50MP main camera featuring PDAF and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens offering a 123-degree field of view, and an 8MP telephoto lens with OIS that supports 3X optical zoom. As anticipated, the camera delivers exceptional performance and can capture videos in a maximum resolution of 8K. A 10MP front camera is included for selfie enthusiasts and video conferencing.
This Samsung smartphone operates on a reasonably strong Exynos 2200 processor, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB built-in storage. Its 4500 mAh battery can last more than a day with regular usage and is compatible with 25W quick charging and 15W cordless charging. Initially, it was released with Android 13, but it can be updated to Android 14 through Samsung's One UI 6.
The cost of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage in India is Rs 46,999.
