Best Mobile Phones Under 35000

The Realme GT 7 packs the right goodies like a high-end chipset, all-around cameras, a pretty good battery life with really fast charging speeds. If we’re to nitpick, thermal management and ultrawide shots could have been better but that’s asking too much from an otherwise well-packaged phone in the segment.

The OnePlus Nord 5 is one of the most balanced mid-range phones around the Rs 30,000 price point. It is fast, sleek, performant, and boasts great battery life while offering one of the best software experiences. However, it achieves this by making clear sacrifices as key downgrades in the design, ultrawide performance and sound and haptics. All of this makes Nord 5 fall a step short of today’s semi-flagship devices.

The Realme GT 7T is a performance-centric phone, with a responsive display, big SiC battery and pretty quick charging. The design also looks quite good but the phone can get warm easily during demanding tasks. While the main camera is quite good, if you want superior imaging, you may be hard-pressed to look at better options in the segment

The Realme 16 Pro impresses with excellent battery life, a bright and immersive AMOLED display and a comfortable design that works well for everyday usage. Performance is generally smooth but definitely not the best in the segment and shows occasional slowdowns under heavy loads. The 200 MP camera delivers decent daylight results but struggles with noise and colour inconsistency at night. Overall, it's a solid mid-ranger than excels in endurance, with a few noticeable compromises.

Oppo has stepped into the gaming phone segment with the K13 Turbo Pro. With a flashy design and slim build, the phone does give strong gaming vibes, while the powerful chipset handles demanding games with steady performance. The built-in cooling fan helps keep the temperatures under control during long sessions. Battery easily lasts a full day and charging is quick enough to get back to game faster. The main camera does impress but the absence of an ultra-wide lens limits flexibility. Ultimately, its higher pricing makes the overall value hard to justify.

The Samsung Galaxy A36 targets a niche set of users who want to purchase a mid-range phone and forget about buying another for the next 5 years. Its capable of handling your daily tasks, clicks decent photos and offers extended OS support. It even charges faster as compared to its predecessor. However, if you want more value for your money, there are other options out there, too.

The Oppo F31 Pro Plus is a great phone for multimedia. It packs a large, hi-res colour-rich screen, which is also very smooth. There’s also a huge battery, with fast charging support. But that’s all it packs. Beyond that, the chipset and camera here is something that you might usually see in phones under Rs 20,000. So, this one is an easy option to avoid.
