Best Mobile Phones Under 35000

Poco X8 Power's massive battery delivers excellent backup, while the sharp AMOLED screen, capable main camera, stereo speakers and long software support make the experience well-rounded. The performance and average ultrawide camera are where Poco has cut corners. However, if battery life matters most, these compromises are easier to live with, as this Poco X8 Power doesn't just have power, but it knows how to make it last.

The OnePlus Nord CE 6 delivers a smooth, reliable everyday experience with a vibrant display, fluid software and exceptional battery life that easily lasts almost two days. It handles multitasking and casual gaming well, though performance isn't class-leading. The design is practical and comfortable, if not particularly distinctive. Cameras perform well in good lighting but can be inconsistent otherwise. If you can overlook these compromises, it's a dependable, fuss-free phone that gets the job done.

Oppo K14 Plus looks like a gallery piece, but it’s built like an absolute tank. It brings a smooth AMOLED panel, polished software, a good camera, IP69K water resistance, and a battery that keeps going. The performance is enough to get by, but gamers might be disappointed. But it's an unshakeable midrange phone that proves its prowess in an unstable smartphone market.

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.

Starting at Rs 34,999, the Vivo T5 5G gets the essentials right with a gorgeous display, consistent performance and a battery that easily lasts a full day. The ultrawide camera and charging speeds lag a little, but neither of them are dealbreakers. With the ongoing RAM crisis pushing prices up, the Vivo T5 5G is an easy recommendation in this price segment.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro shines as a stylish yet durable smartphone that can withstand submersion in water and accidental drops. It features a stunning display and long-lasting battery life. However, the outdated software, average cameras, and middle-of-the-road performance hold it back from being the segment's top contender. It would be a good pick if you prioritise durability, but for anyone else, there are better options out there.

The Realme P3 Ultra is the kind of mid-range phone that ticks all the boxes and nails the essentials with surprising finesse. The cameras are reliable, software is mature and performance is amazing for the price. The stunning quad-curved AMOLED is an absolute delight, and all of this is wrapped up in a body that feels more expensive than it actually is. Sure, there's some bloatware and minor quirks, but they fade fast once you start using the phone daily. After a week with it, I can confidently say that the Realme P3 Ultra is just the perfect blend for most people.

The Vivo V60e is a phone that shouldn’t be your first choice in the sub-Rs 30,000 budget. Mostly because the hardware here is not the best, and the software optimisation is not as good as other Vivo phones in this price range either. You can get it if you’re looking for a powerful main camera, big battery life and fast charging. But other than that, everything is a downgrade compared to what you can get for the price.

The Motorola Edge 70 turns the tables on slim phones, proving that you don't need to make compromises or pay a premium to enjoy a super-thin and lightweight smartphone experience. It packs a big and beautiful display, and a battery that can actually last you a day, decent performance. It has an average camera setup and is bogged down by a subpar UI. But if looks are all that matter to you, then the Moto Edge 70 won't disappoint at all.

The Samsung Galaxy A56 brings a blend of a good quality display, consistent cameras and superior build. However, its offerings aren’t quite appealing in the competitive mid-range market where phones offer better hardware, larger battery and high-end imaging sensors. So, it’s a better buy for people who are in need of a budget all rounder phone that lasts them for years to come.

The Vivo V50 is excellent for those who prioritise design, battery capacity and capture a lot of selfies. However, in the segment, the Vivo V50 can seem rather dated in terms of performance and while the cameras are balanced for the most part, the ultra-wide lens could certainly use some work. Unlike the V60, the V50 lacks a dedicated telephoto shooter as well, which could be a dealbreaker for some. Overall, there are tons of better alternatives at this price and we’d recommend steering clear of this one.

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is a stylish and well-rounded mid-ranger with its vibrant display, solid primary and selfie cameras, as well as a clean, near-stock Android 15 software. While the performance and ultrawide camera leave something to be desired, the Edge 60 Fusion's overall reliability and aesthetic polish easily outweigh these drawbacks, making it one of the best phones for under Rs 25,000.

The Vivo V50e is an appealing mid-ranger with premium looks, vibrant 120 Hz screen and dependable main camera. While the battery backup is somewhat reliable, its highlight is that it can charge really fast. However, if you’re seeking serious gaming performance or a better overall package, the V50e may feel like a slight compromise in the segment.

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.

The Nothing Phone 4b brings the budget DNA of CMF phones in an aesthetically better wrapping. It comes with a smooth AMOLED screen, a semi-transparent design, long battery life, and clean software with some customisation options. While the cameras and performance might not be the best, it's still a practical option for anyone looking for an affordable midrange phone in the current market.

The Oppo F29 Pro 5G is clearly built with offline buyers in mind rather than online value users. It focuses on looks rather than practicality. The slim and sturdy build, along with solid IP Protection, makes it one of the attractive options in the segment. The included battery can easily last for more than a day and it charges pretty quickly. Where the Oppo F29 Pro struggles is in the chipset and camera department as you may find better performing alternatives for the price.
