For the price, it's a reliable, long-lasting companion with a few compromises.

The Realme Narzo 5G is a battery-first smartphone, packing a behemoth 10,001mAh unit which should go on for at least 3 days. It offers a 144Hz display, great levels of water and dust protection, decent everyday performance and an okay-ish main camera. The software experience and build quality aren't that great. But if you are looking for a top-notch battery performance, then the Realme Narzo Power is an easy recommendation.

The Realme 15 Pro punches well above its weight with a stunning design, a massive 7,000mAh battery and class-leading cameras for a mid-range phone. Let’s no forget the large and attractive AMOLED display which is bright and brings the quad-curved aesthetic. Yes, it’s the not best performing phone for the price but it’s reliable and you’ll not face any issues in day-to-day use.

The Vivo T4 Pro is the perfect Android phone for someone who prioritises zoom and portrait shots. Backing the camera are an excellent display and good battery backup. However, the chipset is not the most powerful in the segment and the phone packs a lot of preinstalled apps. So overall, the Vivo T4 Pro is a solid recommend for people who want good cameras and battery life.

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.

The K13 Turbo is Oppo’s attempt at a budget gaming smartphone. With a physical fan on board, the phone performs similarly with the fan turned on or off. The cameras click balanced photos but however, it misses out on a extra camera. The phone boasts a day long battery life and the display is bright enough outdoors and produce punchy colors, but there are other more well-rounded options you can explore.

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 iQOO Z10 brings good upgrades over its predecessor with an exceptional battery, responsive display and a capable main camera. However, it misses the mark with a lacklustre, average quality of materials used and lack of usable secondary cameras. Overall, it’s a good buy if you want a phone for basic media consumption that also runs for long.

The Honor X9c 5G is a single-trick pony in an otherwise unappealing package. It’s among the few phones with a 108 MP camera which captures consistent pictures. However, it packs similar internals as its predecessor but with an improved battery and a curved, bright AMOLED panel. While the processor is decent for daily tasks, it suffers under heavier loads and the poor software experience doesn’t help its case. For the price, you’re better off going with other options available out there.

The Lava Agni 4 is a promising midrange phone that wins you over with its sharp, stylish looks and bright but beautiful display. It brings a lot of improvements, like the improved performance, upgraded cameras, and 4K 60 FPS recording, both front and back. But the OS needs more polishing, as it lets down the entire experience. The cameras are just average, and the speaker and haptics are just not great. Overall, it is a good phone for the price, but certainly far from the best.
