Top mobile phones to purchase for less than Rs 75,000 in India
You can now buy the newest Apple iPhone 15 within this price range. However, this price only covers the basic model with 128GB of storage. If you're looking for higher storage, the 256GB versions of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 are available at the same price and they're both still quite good. Nonetheless, the iPhone 15 offers several new features, including a speedier and more robust A16 Bionic chip. Also, it's worth mentioning that it comes with a USB-C charging port, replacing the exclusive Lightning port.
The phone features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen that is more vibrant, with 2556 x 1179 pixel resolution, a top brightness of 2000 nits, and compatibility with HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Additionally, it includes the Dynamic Island, first seen on the 14 Pro series. The compact and lightweight Apple iPhone 15 offers a comfortable grip and comes with IP68 certification for dust and water resistance.
The primary camera has been enhanced from 12MP to 48MP, featuring dual-pixel PDAF and OIS. The 12MP ultra-wide secondary camera remains unchanged, as does the 12MP front camera. The iPhone 15 exhibits superior results in both photography and video recording, a standard characteristic of iPhones. This iPhone model operates on the newest iOS 17 and will continue to receive additional OS updates in the future.
The cost of the Apple iPhone 15 with 128GB storage capacity in India is Rs 71,290
The latest OnePlus flagship phone, the OnePlus 12, is easily affordable, even in its highest variant. It maintains the design aesthetics of its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, including its curved screen, slender edges, and a round camera module at the back. However, the OnePlus 12 is slightly larger and heavier due to its bigger screen and battery, and the inclusion of wireless charging capabilities – a reasonable compromise, in our opinion. The phone operates on the most recent OxygenOS 14, which is built on Android 14, and further operating system and security updates are anticipated.
The OnePlus 12 continues to feature the curved QHD+ LTPO screen, but with some enhancements. The display is slightly bigger at 6.82 inches and is considerably brighter, with the maximum brightness increasing from 1300 nits (on the OnePlus 11) to 4500 nits. It offers a variable refresh rate that varies from 1 Hz to 120 Hz and is compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The device is powered by a 5400 mAh battery that can last a day and a half with moderate usage, and it comes with a 100W charger that can fully charge the phone in less than half an hour. The phone also supports speedier wireless charging.
The OnePlus 12 runs on Qualcomm's top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and offers either a 12GB RAM with 256GB UFS 4.0 storage or a 16GB RAM with twice the storage. Its rear-facing camera setup is impressive, featuring a 50MP main camera with OIS and Sony’s latest LYT-808 sensor. The additional cameras include a 48MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus that also functions as a macro camera and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS offering 3X optical zoom and 6X in-sensor zoom. It also comes with the Hasselblad color calibration and portrait enhancements.
The cost of OnePlus 12 in India is Rs 64,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, and Rs 69,999 for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant.
Xiaomi's most recent high-end phone, the Xiaomi 14, is a fantastic choice for those on a budget. This small-sized phone comes with an impressive array of features, robust processing capabilities, and boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The phone is equipped with a 6.36-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, capable of varying its refresh rate up to 120 Hz and a resolution of 2670 x 1200 pixels. Additionally, the Pro HDR display is HDR10+ and Dolby Vision certified, with a maximum brightness of 3000 nits and the capacity to display up to 68 billion colour hues. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus shields it from scratches.
The phone is also equipped with Qualcomm's top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and it includes 12GB RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. The phone's cameras were developed in partnership with renowned German camera maker Leica.

It also has an ultra-wide lens with a 115-degree field of view and a 75mm floating telephoto lens with OIS, offering up to 3.2X optical zoom.
The zoom lens on the camera is capable of taking detailed close-up pictures from a distance of 10 cm, and it excels in taking portrait photos. The 32MP camera on the front of the phone is excellent for taking selfies and making video calls. The device's battery of 4610 mAh can easily last more than a day with medium use, and the included 90W rapid charger can fully recharge it in just over 30 minutes. The phone also offers 50W speedy wireless charging. The Xiaomi 14 operates on the most recent Android 14 and features the brand's latest HyperOS UI.
The cost of Xiaomi 14 in India is Rs 69,999, which includes 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 5G is an affordable option, even without special credit card deals, unlike the more recent S24. The device operates on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a top-of-the-line processor from the previous generation. With 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage, it has ample space. Its compact size is complemented by a dust and water resistance of IP68. The phone's body is made of aluminum with a glass back, and it is further protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back against potential scratches.
The 5G-enabled Samsung Galaxy S23 comes with a vibrant 6.1-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, which can reach a maximum brightness of 1750 nits and supports HDR10+ as well as a 120 Hz refresh rate. The device features a triple camera setup on the rear, including a 50MP main camera with dual pixel PDAF and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens that offers Super Steady video, and a 10MP telephoto lens with OIS that provides 3X optical zoom.

The phone, which was released with Android 13 and Samsung's One UI 5.1, is expected to receive additional updates in the future.
The cost of the Samsung Galaxy S23 5G in India is Rs 69,999 for the model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
The Google Pixel 7 Pro, although not the newest model, is still an excellent purchase for around 65K. This former top-tier smartphone from Google is equipped with a Tensor G2 processor and comes with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. It features a curved 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a maximum brightness of 1500 nits. The screen, which supports HDR10+, is safeguarded from scuffs and scratches by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. It also has an IP68 rating, indicating that it's resistant to both dust and water.
This device offers an optimal Android experience, due to its unadulterated Android version, complemented by the Material You UI. Currently, it operates on Android 14 and will be among the earliest to get the latest OS and security updates upon their release. The Google Pixel 7 Pro also excels in photography, aided by its three back cameras. It comes with a 50MP main camera with OIS, paired with a 48MP telephoto camera with OIS that provides up to 5X optical zoom and an astonishing 30X digital zoom. The 12MP ultra-wide camera with auto-focus is equally remarkable and also serves as a macro camera. These cameras perform exceptionally well in various lighting conditions and modes.
