The only new addition to our latest list is the Samsung Galaxy A52, which has recently dropped in price. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is still one of the most affordable OnePlus smartphones currently available and replaces the original Nord CE on our list as it offers much better value and features. The Realme 9 Pro+ is yet another power-packed smartphone which offers really good stereo speakers and a flagship-grade main camera.
Here are top picks of the best phones under Rs. 25,000 in India, in no particular order. We have reviewed all the phones on this list and have tested them in depth, including their raw performance, camera capabilities, software and ease of use, physical design, battery life, and charging speed. There’s also the Xiaomi 11i 5G which we haven’t tested, but is virtually identical to the 11i HyperCharge (Review), so it makes it onto our list because of its price.
