  • Oppo Reno 10 Pro

    The Oppo Reno 10 Pro launched in India in July 2023 at Rs 39,999 for 12 GB plus 256 GB. Oppo's Reno series has long focused on portraits and design, and this model took that further with a dedicated 32 MP telephoto portrait camera and a slim, curved body that clearly targeted the Vivo V27 Pro and OnePlus Nord 3.

    The 6.7-inch curved AMOLED runs at 120Hz and has thin bezels. The Snapdragon 778G was an older chip by 2023, competent for daily use but slower than the Dimensity 9000 in the Nord 3, which sold for less. ColorOS 13.1 on Android 13 is smooth and polished, though it includes some preinstalled apps.

    The camera system is the highlight: a 50 MP Sony IMX890 main with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide and a 32 MP 2x telephoto for portraits, with a 32 MP autofocus selfie camera. Portraits look natural, with good edge detection. The 4600 mAh battery charges at 80W, filling in under an hour. It is a portrait specialist held back by its ageing chip and price.

  • Lava Agni 2 5G

    The Lava Agni 2 5G launched in India in May 2023 at Rs 21,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB. It was the most ambitious phone from the Indian brand at the time, and the first to use MediaTek's Dimensity 7050. Lava built its pitch around clean software, a premium curved design and home-grown credentials, alongside a free at-home service offer.

    The 6.78-inch curved AMOLED runs at 120Hz with full HD resolution, and the matte glass back in Viridian green gives it a premium feel. The Dimensity 7050 delivers steady performance for everyday use and moderate gaming. The software is near-stock Android 13 with no bloatware or ads, a real differentiator against Realme and Xiaomi rivals at the time.

    The quad camera has a 50 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide, a 2 MP depth and a 2 MP macro lens. Daylight results are respectable, low light less so. The 4700 mAh battery gets through a day, and 66W charging fills it quickly. Against the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Realme 11 5G, it stands out for its clean software more than its cameras.

  • Honor X9b

    Honor launched the X9b in India in February 2024 at Rs 25,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB. Its marketing centred on durability: Honor called the curved screen an Ultra-Bounce display and staged demonstrations of the phone surviving drops onto hard surfaces, a striking claim for a curved AMOLED in this segment.

    The 6.78-inch curved AMOLED runs at 120Hz with a 1.5K resolution and good peak brightness. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is a middling chip, adequate for social media, streaming and casual games, but slower than the Dimensity 7200 in the Nothing Phone (2a) or the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in the Redmi Note 13 Pro. MagicOS 7.2 runs on Android 13, already a version behind at launch.

    The 108 MP main camera produces good daylight images, backed by a 5 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro lens, with a 16 MP selfie camera. Battery life is a highlight thanks to the 5800 mAh silicon-carbon cell, which easily stretches past a day, though charging is a modest 35W. It suits buyers who are rough on their phones and want long battery life.

  • Honor 90

    The Honor 90 marked the brand's return to India in September 2023, launched at Rs 37,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB through a new partnership with HTech. It arrived as a stylish, slim mid-ranger competing with the OnePlus Nord 3 and Samsung Galaxy A54, and its sales pitch focused on the display and a headline 200 MP camera.

    The 6.7-inch quad-curved AMOLED has a sharp 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and very high peak brightness, along with high-frequency PWM dimming that Honor promoted as easier on the eyes. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition is adequate for daily use but slower than the Dimensity 9000 in the Nord 3. MagicOS 7.1 on Android 13 is feature-rich but heavier than OxygenOS.

    The 200 MP main camera captures plenty of detail in good light, joined by a 12 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP depth sensor, while the 50 MP selfie camera is excellent. The 5000 mAh battery with 66W charging lasts comfortably through a day. Its display and selfie camera stand out, but the price felt high against the faster Nord 3.

  • Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G

    The Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G launched in India in April 2024 at Rs 21,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB. Its standout feature was MagCharge, 20W magnetic wireless charging with a range of snap-on accessories, something almost unheard of at this price. Infinix also bundled the magnetic charging pad in some launch offers.

    The 6.78-inch curved AMOLED runs at 120Hz and looks premium. Performance comes from the MediaTek Dimensity 7020, an efficient but modest chip that is fine for daily use but not for heavy gaming; the Poco X6 and Redmi Note 13 Pro are faster. Infinix added its Cheetah X1 power management chip and JBL-tuned stereo speakers.

    The 108 MP main camera has OIS, paired with two 2 MP sensors that contribute little, and a 32 MP front camera. The 5000 mAh battery lasts a day comfortably, with 45W wired charging alongside the wireless option. It is a feature-led phone: buyers who value wireless charging and a curved screen will like it, while performance seekers should look elsewhere.

  • Infinix Zero 30 5G

    Infinix launched the Zero 30 5G in India in September 2023 at Rs 23,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB. It positioned the phone as a creator device, with a front camera that records 4K video at 60 frames per second, a feature normally reserved for much pricier phones. The curved display and slim body gave it a premium look to match.

    The 6.78-inch curved AMOLED runs at up to 144Hz and is bright and vivid. The MediaTek Dimensity 8020 is a capable chip, comfortably ahead of the Snapdragon 695 in rivals like the Moto G84, and handles demanding games well. XOS 13 on Android 13 is feature-rich but includes preinstalled apps and promotional notifications that some users will want to disable.

    The 108 MP main camera has OIS, backed by a 13 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP depth sensor. The 50 MP selfie camera is the star, producing sharp video with good stabilisation. A 5000 mAh battery with 68W charging fills quickly. Against the Realme 11 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro, it offers the best selfie video of the group but less polished software.

  • Motorola Moto G85 5G

    Launched in India in July 2024 at Rs 17,999 for 8 GB plus 128 GB, the Moto G85 5G borrowed the curved-screen styling of Motorola's Edge phones and placed it in a budget-friendly price band. Vegan leather finishes and a slim profile make it look more expensive than it is, which is clearly the point.

    The 6.67-inch curved pOLED refreshes at 120Hz and is a highlight, with rich colour and good outdoor visibility. The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is a modest chip, closer to the older Snapdragon 695 than to a true performance part, so heavy gamers should look at the Poco X6 or Realme Narzo 70 Pro instead. Everyday apps run smoothly on the clean Hello UI build of Android 14.

    Photography is handled by a 50 MP Sony LYT-600 main sensor with OIS and an 8 MP ultrawide, a dependable combination in daylight. The 32 MP front camera is better than most rivals at this price. A 5000 mAh battery and 33W charging give all-day endurance. Overall it is a design-led phone that does the basics well rather than chasing specifications.

  • Motorola Edge 60 Fusion

    Motorola launched the Edge 60 Fusion in India in April 2025 at Rs 22,999 for 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, doubling the base storage of its predecessor at the same price. It keeps the brand's design-first approach with Pantone colours and textured finishes, and adds IP69 resistance to high-pressure water jets on top of IP68 submersion protection.

    The 6.67-inch quad-curved pOLED has a sharper 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, a small step down from the Edge 50 Fusion's 144Hz that few users will notice. The Dimensity 7400 is a mild upgrade over the outgoing Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, handling daily tasks smoothly while keeping heat in check, and the phone shipped with Android 15.

    Cameras carry over the 50 MP Sony LYTIA 700C main sensor with OIS and a 13 MP ultrawide that doubles as a macro camera. Battery capacity rises to 5500 mAh with 68W charging, giving reliable two-day endurance. Against the Nothing Phone (3a) and Realme 14 Pro it is weaker on zoom but stronger on durability, storage and display sharpness.

  • Motorola Edge 50 Fusion

    The Edge 50 Fusion arrived in India in May 2024 at Rs 22,999, aimed squarely at buyers who care more about how a phone looks and feels than about benchmark scores. Motorola gave it a curved 6.7-inch pOLED panel, a slim vegan leather or PMMA back depending on colour, and an IP68 rating that was still rare in this price band.

    Performance comes from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, a chip that handles social apps, streaming and casual gaming comfortably but trails the Dimensity 7200 in the Nothing Phone (2a) and well behind anything Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. Hello UI stays close to stock Android, with few preloaded apps, which keeps the phone feeling lighter than its specifications suggest.

    The 50 MP Sony LYTIA 700C main camera produces pleasant daylight shots with natural colour, while the 13 MP ultrawide is merely adequate. A 5000 mAh battery and 68W charging make it an easy two-day phone for light users. Against the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Realme 12 Pro it offers cleaner software and better water resistance, though rivals push harder on camera hardware.

  • Realme 12 Pro

    Realme launched the 12 Pro in India in January 2024 at Rs 25,999 for 8 GB and 128 GB. Its design took cues from luxury watches, with a vegan leather back and a large circular camera ring with a sunburst-style finish. The bigger story was the camera: a dedicated 2x telephoto lens, rare at this price.

    The 6.7-inch curved AMOLED at 120 Hz is bright and smooth. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is the weakest part of the package, adequate for everyday tasks and casual gaming but slower than many rivals. The 50 MP Sony IMX882 main camera with OIS performs well, and the 32 MP 2x telephoto produces good portraits; the 8 MP ultrawide is average. The 5,000 mAh battery charges at 67 W.

    Rivals included the Redmi Note 13 Pro, the Poco X6 Pro, the OnePlus Nord CE3 and the Samsung Galaxy A25. The Poco X6 Pro was significantly faster, and the Redmi had a sharper screen. The Realme 12 Pro stood out for portrait photography and design. Its weaker chip is the main compromise.
