Top mobiles to purchase below Rs 60,000 in India
The introduction of the OnePlus 12 didn't immediately trigger a decrease in the OnePlus 11 5G's retail price. However, Amazon is currently providing a straight Rs 4,000 instant discount on both versions of the former. This allows you to get the high-end variant of the 11 featuring 16GB RAM and speedier 256GB UFS 4.0 storage within your budget. The phone boasts a range of notable features, starting with the still robust Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which was a previous flagship.
The phone's aluminium body and curved edges impart a robust and comfortable feel when held. It features a 6.7-inch curved LTPO3 AMOLED screen, with a pixel resolution of 3216 x 1440 and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. The screen, which complies with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision standards, offers a 10-bit colour depth and a variable refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The phone's 5000 mAh battery has a lifespan of about a day and a half with average use, and the included 100W charger can fully charge it in less than thirty minutes.
On the rear side, it features a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization and color adjustment by Hasselblad. The supporting cameras are also noteworthy, including a 48MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus that also serves as a high-quality macro camera, and a 32MP telephoto camera with 2X optical zoom which is excellent for portrait photos. The OnePlus 11 5G initially came out with OxygenOS 13 which is based on Android 13, and it currently supports upgrades to Android 14, with additional updates expected in the coming 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 impressive smartphone that stands out as the most potent in its range. It operates on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, Qualcomm's latest flagship.

Additionally, there's a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS, which provides 3X optical zoom and doubles as an excellent portrait camera. The 16MP front camera is perfect for selfies and video calls. The iQOO 12 5G is powered by a 5000 mAh battery, which can last up to one and a half days with moderate use.

With the release of the iPhone 15, the previous models, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13, have become significantly more budget-friendly. Generally speaking, Apple products tend to provide better value for your money a year or two after they've been launched. So, now might be the ideal time to consider purchasing either the iPhone 14 or iPhone 13. Both models share similar designs, features, and specs. The reason for this similarity? Well, you'd have to ask Apple. Considering its lower cost, the iPhone 13 seems to be the more sensible choice between the two, unless you're superstitious about the number 13.
Within this price range, you have the option to pick from the latest Apple iPhone 14 or its predecessor, the iPhone 13, each possessing 128GB of storage. The two models boast 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screens with a 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution and support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Their compact sizes make them comfortable to hold and they are both rated IP68, ensuring protection against dust and water. Both models operate on Apple's former top-line A15 Bionic chip, but the iPhone 14 has an additional 2GB of RAM.
The device's processing capabilities remain quite strong for a range of activities, such as gaming. It features two 12MP rear cameras, with the main one providing optical image stabilization and the second one designed for ultra-wide images. The picture and video quality is outstanding, as is expected from an iPhone. Both devices now operate on iOS 17 and will continue to receive operating system updates for 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, specifically its 256GB storage model which is now available for less than 50K. The phone has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and has a sleek, compact design. The device is built with an aluminum frame and a glass back, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back. The phone features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a maximum brightness of 1450 nits, HDR10+ compatibility, and a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G has a flexible camera system. It includes a 50MP main camera with phase detection autofocus and optical image stabilization, a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 123-degree field of view, and an 8MP telephoto lens with optical image stabilization, enabling 3X optical zoom. As anticipated, the camera's performance is outstanding and supports video recording up to 8K resolution. A 10MP front-facing camera is available for selfies and video chats.
This Samsung smartphone operates on a relatively robust Exynos 2200 processor, supplemented by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard memory. Its 4500 mAh battery allows it to run for more than a day on moderate usage, and it can be charged quickly with 25W fast charging or 15W wireless charging. The phone was initially released with the Android 13 operating system, but can be updated to Android 14 using 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.
