What the Experts Are Saying?

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.

Pros

  • Premium design with IP69 rating
  • Sharp LTPO AMOLED screen
  • Flagship-level performance
  • Balanced all around camera
  • Long battery life and fast charging
  • Extended update promise

Cons

  • Bulky and thick form factor
  • Thermal management can be improved

What the Experts Are Saying?

Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE delivers a balanced experience in the segment, offering a bright 120 Hz display, dependable performance, solid battery life and a versatile triple camera setup. It’s an excellent choice for everyday users who want premium features but can’t go for the regular Galaxy S24. Power users may, however, notice its limitations, including a non-LTPO panel and only decent low-light photography.

Pros

  • Vibrant AMOLED panel
  • Solid build with IP68 rating
  • Good all-round performance
  • Great main camera shots
  • Supports wireless, reverse wireless charging
  • Impeccable OS update policy
  • Polished, feature-rich software

The OnePlus 13R proves it still has plenty going for it even months after launch. With top-tier performance, excellent battery life, fast charging and a polished OxygenOS experience, it remains a reliable daily driver. While its cameras aren't class-leading in low-light, the strong daylight performance and a useful telephoto lens make it a well-rounded, good-value phone in the segment.

Pros

  • Good battery life with fast charging
  • Smooth and feature-rich UI
  • Bright LTPO AMOLED screen
  • Useful 2x telephoto camera

iQOO Neo 10 red colourway back panel design showcased

The iQOO Neo 10 packs a serious punch, offering a stunning AMOLED display, powerful performance, and an excellent battery life in the mid-range segment. The cameras are dependable and the design feels premium, but Funtouch OS is the only thorn in its side. Still, at the end of the day, this is a performance-first device that nails gaming, multimedia experience and battery endurance.

Pros

  • Snappy performance
  • Gorgeous AMOLED display
  • Excellent battery life and charging speed
  • Good daytime camera performance
  • Regular software updates

Cons

  • Inconsistent low-light camera performance
  • Plastic back is creaky and scratch-prone

What the Experts Are Saying?

The OPPO Reno14 delivers a premium experience with flagship-like features at a cost-effective price. It offers standout build quality, an excellent camera setup, and solid battery with fast charging. Reno 14 brings decent performance too, but the chipset does tend to get hot under heavy gaming. Some users might not like the excess bloatware in the UI, but the overall experience is pretty solid for the price.

Pros

  • Sharp and vibrant display
  • Excellent camera quality
  • Capable performance
  • Long battery life, fast charging
  • Slim design and durable build

Cons

  • Ultra-wide camera lacks detail
  • Gets hot with heavy use

5000mAh | 45Watt

8GB (LPDDR5) | 128GB (UFS 3.1)

What the Experts Are Saying?

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.

Pros

  • Upgraded premium build
  • Large, bright AMOLED screen
  • Dependable camera
  • Six years of software updates
  • Useful AI features

Cons

  • Underwhelming performance for the price
  • Subpar battery life

5500mAh | 90Watt | Charger in the box

8GB (LPDDR5) | 256GB (UFS 3.1)

What the Experts Are Saying?

The Vivo T4 Ultra is a specialist phone that excels in performance and zoom photography, thanks to the Dimensity 9300+ and 50 MP periscope camera, respectively. However, the ultrawide camera is only decent and the software hasn’t been Vivo’s strongest suit due to bloatware. Overall, T4 Ultra is an ideal device for those who need processing power and camera zoom, something that most phones in this segment miss out on when prioritizing one over the other.

Pros

  • Eye-catching design
  • Great performance
  • Excellent telephoto and macro capabilities
  • Fast charging included charger

Cons

  • Weak ultrawide camera
  • Bloatware filled OS experience
  • Downgraded water and dust resistance

What the Experts Are Saying?

The Vivo V60 is a phone made for creators. While the internal processor isn’t class-leading, it delivers on other fronts with a great display and a massive battery. The star of the show is the Zeiss camera system which is capable of capturing great pictures with both the main and telephoto lenses. All in all, the Vivo V60 is a commendable choice for users who prioritise battery and camera over raw gaming prowess.

Pros

  • Exceptional battery endurance
  • Bright and fluid display
  • Useful main and telephotos cameras
  • Long-term Android updates

Cons

  • Average performance for price
  • Poor low-light shots
  • Bloated software
