₹69,999A compact Leica camera phone with a strong 5x zoom lens and long battery life.

- Among the best cameras in its class, especially the 50MP 5x zoom.
- Dimensity 8500 Ultra is fast and rarely slows down under load.
- Plastic frame, 67W charging feels slow, and the price has risen from ₹59,999 to ₹69,999.

#3Redmi Note 15 Pro+

- Strong battery life from 6500mAh, with fast 100W charging (full in about 40 minutes).
- Dependable 200MP main camera, but the wide-angle camera is basic and there is no zoom lens.
- Fine for everyday apps, but slower than rivals at this price for gaming.
