Top mobiles to purchase for less than Rs 60,000 in India
The introduction of the OnePlus 12 has not directly resulted in a decrease in the official price of the OnePlus 11 5G. However, Amazon is presently providing an immediate flat Rs 4,000 discount on both versions of the OnePlus 11 5G. As a result, it's possible to get the high-end variant of the 11, equipped with 16GB RAM and a speedier 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, within this budget. The device comes loaded with remarkable features, including Qualcomm's last-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which continues to be very powerful.
The phone's aluminium body and curved edges give it a solid 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 is compliant with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, supports a 10-bit colour depth and a variable refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The phone is powered by a 5000mAh battery that can easily last more than a day with moderate usage, and it comes with a 100W charger that can fully charge it in less than 30 minutes.
The rear boasts a 50MP main camera featuring OIS and Hasselblad's color adjustment. The accompanying set of cameras are just as remarkable, including a 48MP ultrawide lens with autofocus that can also function as a high-quality macro camera, and a 32MP telephoto lens with 2X optical zoom that excels in portrait photography. The OnePlus 11 5G was launched with OxygenOS 13, which is built on Android 13, and it can currently be upgraded to Android 14, with more 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 a feature-packed smartphone and undoubtedly the most potent among its peers. It operates on the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip from Qualcomm, and offers two variants – one with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and the other with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Similar to the OnePlus 11, it also features the speedy UFS 4.0 storage. The device boasts a 6.78-inch 10-bit HDR10+ compliant LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Its brightness can reach up to 3000 nits. The smartphone operates on Android 14 with FunTouch OS 14.
The back camera system is loaded with a top-notch trio of cameras. The lead is a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), paired with a 50MP ultra-wide camera that includes auto-focus and macro photography features. There's also a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS that offers 3X optical zoom and doubles as a high-quality portrait camera. The 16MP front camera is proficient in capturing selfies and facilitating video calls. The iQOO 12 5G's 5000 mAh battery can endure one and a half day of moderate usage, and with the supplied 120W fast charger, it can be fully charged in under 30 minutes.
The cost of iQOO 12 5G in India is Rs 52,999 for a model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and Rs 57,999 for one with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
With the introduction of the iPhone 15, its previous models, the iPhone 14 and 13, have significantly dropped in price. It’s widely accepted that Apple products become more cost-effective a year or two after they’ve been launched. Therefore, now may be the ideal time to purchase an iPhone 14 or 13. These two models share almost the same design, features, and specifications. The reason for this similarity is something you'd have to ask Apple about. The iPhone 13, being less expensive, is generally considered the better deal of the two, unless you're superstitious about the number 13.
This budget allows for a choice between the more recent Apple iPhone 14 or its predecessor, the iPhone 13, which both come with a storage capacity of 128GB. Each of these phones boasts a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution, and they support HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Thanks to their small size, these phones are comfortable to hold, and they also hold an IP68 rating, indicating they are resistant to dust and water. Both the iPhone 14 and 13 are driven by Apple's former top-tier A15 Bionic chip, but the iPhone 14 has 2GB additional RAM.
The system's hardware continues to be suitably strong for various activities, including playing video games. It has dual 12MP rear cameras, with the main one equipped with optical image stabilization, and the other one able to take ultra-wide photos. The image and video quality is outstanding, which is a standard expectation from an iPhone. The devices are currently operating on iOS 17 and are expected to receive more operating system updates in the coming 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 for those on a budget, with its 256GB storage model now available for less than 50K. The phone also boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, coupled with a sleek design. It features a sturdy aluminum frame and a glass back, all shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back. The device comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen that can reach a maximum brightness of 1450 nits, is HDR10+ compliant and has a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G's camera system is highly adaptable. It includes a 50MP main camera with PDAF and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree field of view, and an 8MP telephoto camera with OIS that provides 3X optical zoom. As anticipated, the camera's performance is exceptional, with the ability to capture videos in resolutions up to 8K. A 10MP front camera is also included for selfies and video chats.
The Samsung phone runs on a reasonably potent Exynos 2200 processor, complemented by an 8GB RAM and 256GB of built-in storage. Its 4500 mAh battery allows it to last for more than a day with moderate use and it offers 25W quick charging along with 15W cordless charging. It initially came with Android 13 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.
