This is because it brings with itself a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED panel which features a 3200x1440 resolution and a pixel density of 551ppi. The panel also gets support for 120Hz refresh rate for improving the experience while playing games. The hardware on-board the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the Exynos 2100 chipset which has been paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage. For cameras, the Galaxy S21 Ultra comes with a 108MP primary camera sensor with Phase Detection Auto Focus and optical image stabilisation . This is paired by a 12MP (F/2.2) ultra-wide-angle sensor with dual-pixel autofocus, and a 120-degree field of view. The phone is powered by a big 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse charging.
Oppo has been one of the biggest names in the smartphone industry for years, and the company has managed to remain one on the basis of some really interesting phones it's launched over the years. Oppo Reno 6 Pro 5G features a 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor which is paired to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Powering the device is a 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging support.
As for the cameras, the Reno 6 Pro sports a triple camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary camera. The OnePlus 9 Pro brings with it an aluminium-glass build that measures 8.7 millimetres in thickness and weighs 197 grams. OnePlus 9 Pro features a 6.7-inch QHD+ resolution AMOLED curved display with LTPO backplane technology and supports a 120Hz refresh rate. The LTPO technology allows the OnePlus 9 Pro to consume lesser power and gives dynamic refresh rate control ranging from as low as 1Hz to 120Hz. Like the OnePlus 9, the 9 Pro is also powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and is paired with upto 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and upto 256GB UFS 3.1 storage options to choose from.
The OnePlus 9 Pro has quad cameras on the back headlined by a primary 48MP camera with a Sony IMX789 sensor that has an f/1.8 aperture and supports EIS. The 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP monochrome camera is the same as the standard OnePlus 9. The OnePlus 9 Pro has the same 4,500mAh battery as the OnePlus 9 with Warp Charge 65T support but it also offers Warp Charge 50 fast wireless charging support. The Vivo X60 Pro features a 6.56-inch Full HD+ resolution AMOLED display with a punch-hole notch cutout. The display on the device is a 120Hz refresh rate panel and is certified for HDR10+ playback.
Additionally, it is topped with Schott Xensation Up cover glass and has an in-display fingerprint reader. The Vivo X60 Pro brings a 48MP primary camera with an f/1.5 aperture, 13MP telephoto camera with 2X optical zoom and 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 120-degree field-of-view. The rear cameras can record in 4K UHD at upto 60FPS and there's a 32MP selfie camera on the front. The X60 Pro has a 4,200mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging out-of-the-box. Realme's Narzo 30 5G offers some great hardware but cuts corners in some areas to make it all happen. The smartphone uses a vibrant and sharp full-HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate.
The display also offers a maximum 180Hz touch sampling rate, which combined with the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, makes for a decent gaming smartphone. Realme UI 2.0 runs smoothly with everyday use but comes with several pre-loaded third-party apps. The Narzo 30 5G, just like the Narzo 30 does not offer an ultra-wide-angle camera, which you did get with the previous Narzo 20 series. Out of the three rear cameras, only two are accessible to the user, as the 2-megapixel monochrome camera is only activated when using the Portrait mode. Video recording is limited to 1080p @30fps, which is a bit disappointing, given that the more affordable Narzo 30 offers better options.
Battery life is quite good, but charging this phone using the bundled 18W charger takes over two hours. Samsung's Galaxy F22 is a rather basic budget smartphone that goes big on battery life and offers a vibrant 6.4-inch 90Hz HD+ Super AMOLED display, but cuts down on everything else. The 90Hz refresh rate is not useful when it comes to gaming, but definitely makes the software experience feel fluid.
The big battery easily lasts two days, but takes more than two hours to charge when using the bundled 15W charger. The camera performance is quite average for its segment, but daylight video quality was good, despite being limited to 1080p. The Galaxy F22's design can be best described as practical, with a display that is made of Gorilla Glass 5 and a plastic unibody.
While the phone comes loaded with many presinstalled apps, Samsung seems to have done a good job of optimising One UI 3.1 to run smoothly even on the base 4GB RAM variant that we tested. The iPhone 12 mini fills a void in the market, and many people looking for a compact flagship-level phone will be pleased with it. This model could be a suitable upgrade for those holding on to older iPhones because they like the size. You get nearly all the same flagship specifications as with the iPhone 12, with the exception of a smaller battery and slower wireless charging.
Performance is also great, though this phone does get a bit warm when stressed. The iPhone 12 mini can take brilliant photos in the daytime and at night with both its rear cameras and the front one as well. Games and movies aren't especially engrossing on the smaller screen but the iPhone 12 mini will do for casual everyday use. IOS 14 is slick and smooth, and you get guaranteed updates for several years. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra measures 8.4 millimetres in thickness and weighs 234 grams. It is also IP68 certified which makes it resistant to dust and water ingress for 1.5 metres for upto 30 minutes.
It has a slightly raised island camera module on the back that houses the triple cameras along with a bunch of sensors and a secondary mini display. The Mi 11 Ultra features a 6.81-inch QHD+ resolution AMOLED 3D curved display. The display supports upto a 120Hz refresh rate and has a punch-hole notch cutout for the selfie camera.
It is capable of producing upto 1 Billion colours and is HDR10+ certified along with Dolby Vision support. This is paired with Adreno 660 GPU that is responsible for handling the graphics duties on the phone along with 12GB RAM and upto 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast wired and wireless charging. The Xiaomi Mi 11X offers the very powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC at a surprisingly low price, and the tradeoff is camera quality.
While this phone is great for gaming and entertainment, it takes just about average photos and videos in the daytime, while low-light performance is quite below par. You get a big, bright vibrant 6.67-inch 120Hz full-HD+ display and a battery that will easily last you through a full day. There are also some premium touches such as Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, an IP53 rating, and stereo speakers. You can buy the Mi 11X with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, but storage is constant at 128GB. The 48-megapixel main rear camera is serviceable and the 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is much weaker, but the surprise standout is the 5-megapixel "telemacro" camera which allows for some very creative shots.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, or Fan Edition, promises the most popular features of the flagship Galaxy S20 family at a much lower price. You get the same Exynos 990 processor, plus a 6.5-inch full-HD+ 120Hz Super AMOLED screen and a 4500mAh battery. The body is polycarbonate but this phone still feels premium, and is IP68 rated for water and dust resistance. You get plenty of high-end features including stereo speakers and wireless charging.
The three rear cameras are all practical and deliver great results in the daytime, though the ultra-wide one does suffer a bit at night. Video and stills both came out looking good, and the camera app offers plenty of modes and settings to experiment with. Battery life is somewhat disappointing but Samsung's One UI software is quite good and the display is great for videos and games. The phone does get a bit warm in use but is otherwise a satisfactory premium option.
However, it's worth looking at your other options, such as the OnePlus 8 Pro, the best smartphone you've likely never heard of. Released in April, this phone offers a great value, with excellent display, 5G capabilities, a long battery life and fast wireless charging. While the camera might not be as impressive as what you'll find on the newest Apple and Samsung phones, if you're not a pro photographer, you likely won't notice, making the $900 starting price an attractive value.
Smartphones have become so central to our daily lives that the difference between a good smartphone that just works and a bad one with lots of bugs, can make or break the whole experience for you. While most smartphones have something good to offer, the best phones offer the right balance between the hardware and software, offering lots of computing power and effortless usability. There are a number of good phones in the market, but our list of best mobile phones talks about the top 10 mobiles that can do just about anything. From playing a graphics-heavy game to watching a movie in HDR quality to editing a spreadsheet or making a video, this list is compiled of the best phone in India. In the list are top 10 phone, that are devices powered by Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating system, with most flagships running on the latest Android 10.
These smartphones take sharp, detailed photos, heavy multi-tasking and a host of features that define cutting edge in mobile technology. The Realme Narzo 30 is a good budget smartphone keeping in mind the hardware that it offers and its competitive price. The design and finish are a big leap from its predecessor, the Narzo 20, and this phone looks attractive despite being made from plastic.
The 90Hz display is a nice addition and makes the software experience fluid. The Narzo 30 is good enough for mid-level gaming, handling most graphics-intensive mobile titles well. The Narzo 30 can take good photos in daylight, but only manages noisy and murky shots in low light. The Narzo 30 with its 5,000mAh battery offers good battery life, managing 1.5 days on a single charge.
Charging is relatively quick, going from a dead battery to a full charge in 1 hour and 10 minutes using the bundled 30W charger. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has an impressive design, display quality and performance. The phone is powered by an Exynos 990 SoC processor and runs One UI 2.5 based on Android 10.
It offers a good battery life of more than a day as it houses a 5000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging. Featuring a quad-rear camera setup, it delivers a brilliant camera performance and clicks really good shots irrespective of the lighting conditions. The Note 20 Ultra brings with itself a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 3088x1440 pixels. This display is not only big, but also looks great because of its high pixel density and good dynamic contrast. Note 20 Ultra will feature a 108-megapixel main camera sat next to a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera that supports 5x true optical zoom. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra also comes with a 4,500 mAh pack for long lasting battery life.
The Note 20 Ultra also gets the S Pen support with five new gestures. The S-Pen on the phone also supports reduced latency which is down to 9ms -- from 42ms on the previous version of the S Pen. This makes the S Pen feel more responsive, and when paired to the fast 120Hz, the display helps make it flow like a breeze on the Note 20 Ultra's display. Realme has launched the new X7 Max 5G shortly after the X7 Pro 5G, and this new phone offers a much more powerful SoC but at a lower starting price.
You get a 4500mAh battery and 50W fast charging, with a 65W charger unit supplied in the retail box. Battery life is excellent and you should be able to last well over a single day on each charge. The 6.43-inch Super AMOLED scren is crisp but not the best we've seen. Realme UI's default apps do throw up some spammy notifications but there are lots of features too. You also might not like the plastic rear panel which doesn't feel too premium. The mid-range smartphone market is becoming more crowded and Realme's GT Master Edition is a quality offering at a competitive price with a unique suitcase-like design.
Meant to replace the X series of smartphones, the GT series is a new lineup from Realme, and the GT Master Edition packs a punch. There's a high-quality 120Hz Super AMOLED display which is good for gaming and watching movies on. Powering the gaming experience is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor, which is a worthy upgrade over the 768G and is on par with MediaTek's Dimensity 1200. Camera performance is quite good in daylight but is only saved by the Night mode in low light. Battery life is quite good for a slim mid-range smartphone and charging is quite fast, going from zero to 100 percent in about 35 minutes.
With its supercharged processor, great battery life and solid rear camera setup, the OnePlus 9 is a superb all-round Android phone. Its $729 (£629) starting price makes this cell phone a much more affordable option than its Apple or Samsung rivals. It's our best pick if you want flagship performance with a more approachable price tag. The cameras are the same as on the Pixel 5 from 2020; there's a main 12-megapixel sensor and an ultrawide. With Google's Night Sight mode, you can get detailed and bright low-light images, and if you put the phone on a tripod and point it at the sky, it can even capture the stars. Better yet, the phone has a big 4,680-mAh battery that lasts almost two full days on a single charge.
Google has been relevant in the mobile phone market since the release of the Pixel and the Pixel 3 is its 3rd edition released in 2018. The phone comes with a RAM of 4GB and internal storage of 64GB and 128GB. The phone is different in many ways with a single lens system in the rear camera at 12.2MP and a dual front-camera system with two 8MP cameras. The phone comes with Android 9 and is integrated with Snapdragon 845 processor with a 2915 mAh battery. It offers incredible value for money and it can be described as Samsung's flagship killer of 2020. Image by TechRadarGoogle's latest flagship phones stand out with their cameras.
The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL both add telephoto lenses, providing a rear camera and a 2x optical zoom. The Micromax In 2b may not be a jack of all trades, but it's good at a few things, which increases its value over competing smartphones. The phone's back is made of plastic but is practical in terms of design and does not gather fingerprints and smudges. Its display is sufficiently bright and shows decent colours, keeping in mind its entry-level price tag. In terms of hardware, it goes with the basics, but offers a Unisoc T610 SoC, which has only made it to a few smartphones globally. Surprisingly, the processor turned out to be quite the performer, doing well not just in regular use, but also for some budget gaming, which is unheard of in the entry-level smartphone segment.
With Android 11 and no third-party apps and bloatware, the software experience was quite smooth. Camera performance was strictly average and the same can be said about video. The 5,000mAh battery easily got me one and half days' worth of use with some gaming, which is quite good. Charging was a bit too slow with the bundled 10W charger, and it took over 3 hours to complete the charge.
The Realme GT isn't a flagship killer but it is a premium all-rounder. Priced starting from Rs 37,999, the Realme GT lacks features like an IP rating and wireless charging but still turned out to be a good all-rounder. With its top variant available only in a Racing Yellow vegan leather finish, it is aimed at the youth who want a no-frills performance-oriented smartphone. It has a Super AMOLED display with a high refresh rate that will appeal to gamers. There's a top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and plenty of RAM, so this phone is more than capable of handling the most high-end games.
The cameras also perform quite well for still photos and video recording. Battery life is good, and the 65W charger that's included in the box charges this phone very quickly. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the best phone Apple produces and it received a stellar score in our full review. The smartphone features the powerful and fast A14 Bionic processor, a professional-standard multiple rear camera setup, 5G and a magnetic "MagSafe" feature that allows it to connect to other mobile accessories.
