With a sleek design, vibrant display, strong performance, and impressive battery life, it ticks many of the boxes for what consumers look for in a modern smartphone.

The iQOO Z9s Pro delivers a solid combination of style, performance, and features for its price. Sporting a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, the screen offers punchy colours and excellent outdoor visibility. The phone’s design is sleek and premium and it feels comfortable in hand. Under the hood, it’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, ensuring smooth multitasking and gaming performance. However, it’s not without its flaws.

The POCO F6 reaffirms POCO’s knack for delivering fantastic value, blending top-notch performance with a rich feature set at a great price. It’s not just a gaming beast; the POCO F6 shines across the board. The Sony IMX882 primary camera is a big step up, and the 6.67-inch AMOLED display is stunningly vibrant and crisp. Plus, the beefy 5,000 mAh battery easily gets you through a busy day, and the included 120 W charger is a real treat for quick top-ups. Sure, the lack of expandable storage and some bloatware in HyperOS are minor hiccups, but they hardly overshadow the overall package.

The POCO X7 5G is a solid addition to the lineup, offering a well-designed build, vibrant display, and good battery life. Its daylight camera performance is decent, and the display ensures an enjoyable multimedia experience. Competing with it is the iQOO Z9s, which delivers better performance at a lower price but falls slightly behind in camera quality. Meanwhile, the Moto Edge 50 Neo matches the POCO X7’s performance and camera output but lacks in battery life. For those focused on gaming, multimedia, and lasting battery backup, the POCO X7 5G is a reliable option in its price segment.

The Samsung Galaxy A35 is a reliable choice under 25K. The phone impressed me with its stellar camera performance, smooth UI, and immersive display. There are a lot of niceties on offer as well such as Gorilla Glass Victus+ display protection, 4 years of OS updates, 4K video recording on the rear and selfie cameras, and a solid build. For those who don’t covet performance over everything else, the Galaxy A35 is one of the best all-rounders you can get your hands on at a relatively pocket-friendly price. However, the lack of HDR support for the display and the absence of a charging brick in the box dock away some of its points. Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy A35 is not suitable for gamers as the chipset doesn’t handle High Graphics gaming too well.

Thanks to its fruitful partnership with Pantone, Motorola has become a master of design over the past few years in the smartphone industry. The Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is a standout device under ₹25,000, offering a luxurious design, decent performance, and impressive camera capabilities. However, its 144 Hz display, while bright and fluid, lacks HDR support, which might disappoint content enthusiasts. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor handles daily tasks well but falls short in gaming compared to competitors like the OnePlus Nord CE4 and Nothing Phone (2a). The camera setup is a highlight, particularly the 50 MP primary and 32 MP selfie cameras, which deliver vibrant and sharp images. Battery life is serviceable with a 5,000 mAh cell and 68 W fast charging, though power users may need to recharge by evening. Overall, the Edge 50 Fusion excels in design and camera performance, making it a compelling choice for those who prioritise aesthetics and photography.
