Best Camera Mobile Phones in India

If photography is your top priority, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is one of the best flagship camera phones money can buy. Thanks to the Leica partnership, the phone clicks punchy and DSLR quality photos with stunning processing. And even though the phone includes top tier hardware, it overheats and crashes on extended camera usage. That aside, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is still worth recommending for its retro camera design, incredible photography, solid battery life, and long software support.

The Vivo X300 Pro pushes the boundaries of what a smartphone camera can do. It takes jaw-dropping photos, whether you are shooting in day, night, far back or up close, blowing the competition out of the park. The design is sophisticated, the battery life is nothing short of amazing, and so is the software with the new OriginOS 6 finally running the show. It's a big phone, for a bigger price, but if you want the best cameras available on a phone, then it is well worth the price.

OnePlus 13 is the most refined OnePlus flagship, offering the best of what the company has learned over the years. It oozes premiumness from all angles and packs a large all day battery while still remaining sharp. The performance and UI experience is best in class, and the cameras do deliver good photos but there is room for improvement. If you are looking for a budget flagship that looks premium, then it should be your pick.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max delivers the best of what Apple has to offer with a bright and big screen, exceptional performance, amazing cameras amd great battery life. It does feel a little bulky and the iOS 26 experience is bogged down by minor bugs but overall, if you want to get the best iPhone right now, then this is the one to go for.

The Xiaomi 14 Civi is a flagship killer that ticks most of the boxes with its impressive curved display, premium design, and solid performance. But its poor IP rating and small battery are glaring issues in an otherwise great buy. So, if you're in for aesthetics and cameras, it's a decent option, but there are better alternatives for the price.

The Samsung's Galaxy S24 is a flagship-level package you can get for the price of a mid-ranger. It has a reliable camera setup, great display, decent performance and a solid update policy. But since it's a compact phone, the battery life and charging speeds are not the best. If that doesn’t bother you, this might be your best bet in the segment.

With an excellent software experience with Nothing OS, a versatile camera setup, and a bright 120 Hz OLED display, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro still champions its place as one of the best mid-range smartphones you can buy, even after six months. Performance is not its strongest suit, and the camera lacks consistency, but still, the overall package is stylish, clean and thoughtfully built.

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a well-rounded phone which looks and feels premium, delivers excellent everyday performance, has a large, bright display, the cameras perform reliably across the board, and the battery easily lasts a full day. The software experience on Hello UI is decent, but the flavour of Android 16 is missing. It's a near perfect phone under Rs 30,000 that offers almost a flagship level experience.
