The Realme Narzo 70 Pro was initially priced at ₹20,000 for the 8/128GB model when it first went on sale in March. Now, you can get the same configuration for ₹18,000 and upgrade to double the storage for an additional ₹2,000. Since there is no memory card slot available, the upgrade might be worth it.
The Narzo 70 Pro comes with a 6.67″ 120Hz OLED display (1080p+, HDR10+), and is powered by a Dimensity 7050 chipset. It features a 50MP main camera (1/1.56″, OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide camera (112°), and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging. Despite the lack of a memory card slot, it does include a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers.
The Realme P1 and P1 Pro were recently unveiled and are set to launch on April 22. Both models are available on Flipkart for you to check the prices. They share similar specifications with 6.7” 120Hz OLED displays (1080p+) and 5,000mAh batteries with 45W fast charging.
However, the Pro version offers a superior main camera (larger sensor, OIS) and a dedicated ultra-wide module. It also provides better dust and water resistance (IP65 vs. IP54). Both models feature stereo speakers, but the vanilla model includes a 3.5mm headphone jack. The chipsets differ between the two models, with the Pro having a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and the vanilla model using a Dimensity 7050.
The OnePlus Nord CE3 faced stiff competition when the CE4 was launched at the same price point. Consequently, the price of the CE3 has decreased to ₹22,500. The OnePlus Nord CE4 remains priced at ₹25,000. Despite the price drop on the older model, the CE4 may be a better choice due to its superior chipset (Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 vs. 782G) and larger 5,500mAh battery with 100W charging. However, the CE3 sports a larger sensor in the main camera (1/1.56” vs. 1/1.95”), while the new model offers no significant improvements to the ultra-wide or selfie cameras.
For those seeking a budget 4G option, the Samsung Galaxy A05 is priced just over ₹10,000. It offers a 6.7” IPS LCD with 720p+ resolution and is powered by the Helio G85 chipset. Although it has limited RAM, the phone supports expandable storage. The main camera features a 50MP sensor, and the device boasts a 5000mAh battery with 25W charging.
The Realme Narzo N53 is priced below ₹10,000 and offers a 6.74” IPS LCD with a 1080p+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. It comes with 64GB of built-in storage which is expandable. The camera setup includes a single 50MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. The device houses a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging support.
If you are considering an upgrade, the OnePlus 12R is priced at ₹40,000. It features a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a large LTPO display – 6.78” 120Hz with a 1,264 x 2,780 px resolution and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. Although the camera setup may not be flagship-grade (50MP 1/1.56” main, 8MP ultrawide), the 5,500mAh battery supports 100W wired charging (no wireless charging).
Lastly, the OnePlus Nord CE3 Lite offers an affordable option for those looking for a device under ₹20,000. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 chipset and features a 6.72” IPS LCD (120Hz, 1080p+). The device boasts a 108MP main camera (1/1.67” sensor, no OIS) and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W charging support.
