Top mobiles to purchase below Rs 75,000 in India
You now have the opportunity to buy the most recent Apple iPhone 15 within this price range. Naturally, this price will get you the base model which comes with 128GB storage. If you're looking for more storage, the Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 13, both boasting 256GB variants, are available within the same price range and they're still quite impressive. However, the iPhone 15 introduces numerous new features, beginning with a speedier and more potent A16 Bionic chip. Additionally, it's worth noting the switch to a USB-C charging port from the exclusive Lightning port.
The phone boasts a radiant 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with a pixel count of 2556 x 1179, a peak brightness of 2000 nits, and supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. It also now features the Dynamic Island, which made its debut in the 14 Pro series. The compact and lightweight design of the Apple iPhone 15 makes it comfortable to hold, and it comes with an IP68 rating for protection against water and dust.
The primary camera has been improved from 12MP to 48MP, featuring dual-pixel PDAF and OIS. The 12MP ultra-wide secondary camera and the 12MP front camera have remained the same. The device delivers exceptional performance in both photography and video recording, which is typical of an iPhone. The iPhone 15 operates on the most recent iOS 17, with further operating system updates anticipated in the coming years.
The cost of the Apple iPhone 15 with 128GB storage in India is Rs 71,290.
The latest leading model from OnePlus, the OnePlus 12, fits well within this price range, even for its premium variant. It maintains the design aesthetics of the OnePlus 11, including the curved screen, thin bezels, and rear circular camera setup. Although it appears similar, the 12 model is slightly bigger and heavier due to an expanded screen and battery, as well as the inclusion of wireless charging; a reasonable compromise, in our opinion. The device operates on the most recent version of OxygenOS 14, which is built on Android 14, and further updates to the operating system and security are expected.
The OnePlus 12 maintains its curved QHD+ LTPO screen but has improved it significantly. The screen size has increased slightly to 6.82 inches, and it's notably brighter, with the maximum brightness increasing from 1300 nits to 4500 nits. The phone offers a varying refresh rate of 1 Hz to 120 Hz and is compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It comes with a 5400 mAh battery that can power the phone for a day and a half with moderate usage. The included 100W charger can fully charge the battery in under 30 minutes. Additionally, it also offers fast wireless charging.
The OnePlus 12 gets its power from Qualcomm's leading Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It offers two options: one with 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, and another with 16GB RAM and double the storage size. The rear camera setup is noteworthy, beginning with a 50MP main camera supported by OIS and Sony's latest LYT-808 sensor. Additional features include a 48MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus, which also serves as a macro camera, and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS that gives 3X optical zoom and 6X in-sensor zoom. The phone also supports Hasselblad's color calibration and portrait modes.
The cost of OnePlus 12 in India is Rs 64,999 for the model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and Rs 69,999 for the variant with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Xiaomi's newest high-end phone, the Xiaomi 14, is a fantastic choice for those on a budget. Its compact size, robust features, and IP68 dust and water resistance rating make it a standout option. This phone comes with a 6.36-inch LTPO AMOLED screen that can adjust its refresh rate up to 120 Hz and has a resolution of 2670 x 1200 pixels. It features a Pro HDR display that is compatible with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, boasting a maximum brightness of 3000 nits and the ability to display up to 68 billion different colors. Plus, a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus shields it from potential scratch damage.
This phone also operates on Qualcomm's strongest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and it comes with 12GB RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. Its cameras were developed together with the renowned German camera maker Leica. There are three 50MP modules at the rear, beginning with the main one equipped with a Light Fusion 900 image sensor, Leica Summilux optics, and OIS. It also includes an ultra-wide lens with a 115-degree FOV and a 75mm floating telephoto lens with OIS, offering up to 3.2X optical zoom.
The zoom lens of the camera is capable of taking close-up photos from a distance of 10 cm, and it's also skilled in taking portrait photos. The 32MP camera on the front is pretty impressive for selfies and video chats. With a 4610 mAh battery, the phone can easily last more than a day with average use, and the included 90W fast charger can fully charge it in just over 30 minutes. This phone also offers 50W speedy wireless charging. The Xiaomi 14 operates on the most recent Android 14, and it features the company's newest HyperOS UI.
The cost of Xiaomi 14 in India is Rs 69,999 for a model with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 5G can be purchased within a similar price range of the newer S24 model, which is available under $75 with specific credit cards. The S23 5G doesn't require any tricks to get it at this price. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, Qualcomm's prior top-tier chip, and is equipped with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of interior storage. It is quite compact in size and possesses an IP68 rating, offering protection against dust and liquid. The phone's structure consists of an aluminium frame and a glass rear, with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back, safeguarding it from scratches.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 5G boasts a 6.1-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, with a maximum brightness of 1750 nits, compliance with HDR10+, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. In terms of photography, it features a trio of rear cameras, including a 50MP primary camera equipped with dual pixel PDAF and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with support for Super Steady video, and a 10MP telephoto camera with OIS capable of 3X optical zoom. It offers top-notch camera performance and the ability to capture videos at 8K resolution. The phone runs on Android 13 and Samsung's One UI 5.1, with the promise of future updates.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro, although not the latest, still remains a strong contender in the smartphone market, especially in the around 65K price range. This model uses Google's Tensor G2 processor and provides 12GB of RAM along with 128GB of internal storage. It features a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED screen with a high refresh rate of 120 Hz and a maximum brightness of 1500 nits. The screen, compliant with HDR10+, is covered by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Like other high-end models, this phone also has an IP68 rating, making it resistant to dust and water.
This device offers the ultimate Android experience, due to the unadulterated version of Android featuring the Material You UI. It currently operates on Android 14, and will be one of the first to get the latest OS and security patches as they become available. The Google Pixel 7 Pro also excels in the area of photography, thanks to its three rear cameras.
