BEST MOBILE PHONES UNDER 30000 IN INDIA

Poco X7 Pro is the all-new mid-range smartphone that's priced under Rs. 30,000. This is the first phone to debut with MediaTek 8400 Ultra processor and packs the largest battery at this price. Poco's new X7 Pro is also the company's first with HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15. The dual camera setup is decent, and the phone weighs under 200 grams. At its price, the X7 Pro is a great value proposition and is a perfect choice for anyone eyeing anything around this price segment.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is a leap forward in design and battery. The performance is also great, and the feature list is long - which is good. It gets an IP68 rating, which should give consumers peace of mind and additional brownie points for durability tests. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is a game changer for the Note series and a solid contender under Rs. 40,000. It also packs some AI features. However, there are a few areas where Redmi Note 14 Pro+ could have been better, like the software support window. Overall, it is a phone you can easily recommend under Rs. 40,000.

Motorola's Edge 50 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup, and a 4,500mAh battery with up to 125W fast charging support. The phone offers some world first features such as a Pantone validated display and cameras. The Edge 50 Pro has a premium design and is available in three colour options. It is offered with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. You also get an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. The phone has a 6.7-inch pOLED curved display with 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. It has a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support, 3 microphones, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. 

The Oppo Reno 11 Pro offers a slim and rounded design which appears quite premium despite being made out of polycarbonate and glass. However it lacks an official IP rating of any sort and still does not offer a stereo speaker setup.

The new Dimensity processor is powerful enough for handling regular smartphone tasks and can even handle heavy 3D games. Oppo offers the latest Android 14 software out of the box but it packs in plenty of bloatware and double apps.

The phone offers a very flexible camera setup among which its primary camera offers the best imaging performance followed by the telephoto camera which is good for snapping portraits. Its ultra-wide camera is quite weak and the same can be said about the phone’s video performance in general.

Battery life is quite solid for a slim design-focussed smartphone but charging is very quick.
