Top 5 Smartphones Under ₹40,000:
The smartphone market in India is packed with options, especially in the ₹30,000–₹40,000 price range. These phones are often called “affordable premium” devices because they offer features close to flagship models but at a lower cost. From powerful processors to stylish designs and long battery life, this segment has something for everyone.
Priced at around ₹31,999, the OnePlus Nord 5 delivers solid value. Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, it ensures smooth multitasking and gaming. The phone comes with a big 6,800mAh battery that easily lasts more than a day. While its main camera performs well, the ultra-wide option could have been better.
The Nothing Phone 3a Pro stands out with its unique design and clean software. It features a 3X telephoto zoom camera, which helps capture detailed shots. Although its charging speed and ultra-wide camera are not top class, the phone still manages to provide a reliable daily experience.
For those seeking high performance, the Realme GT 7 (₹39,999) and GT 7T (₹32,999) are excellent choices. Both carry IP69 protection and massive 7,000mAh batteries with 120W fast charging. The GT 7 offers slightly better camera quality, while the GT 7T focuses more on gaming features.
The Vivo V60 combines premium looks with strong camera performance. Its quad-curved display and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip make it a stylish yet practical option. The phone also packs a 6,500mAh battery, lasting up to one and a half days. Its portrait and telephoto shots are particularly impressive.
The Poco F7 is a performance-focused phone, built for gamers. With a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, a vapour cooling system, and a massive 7,550mAh battery, it is designed for long, lag-free gaming sessions. However, its cameras are average, and the software comes with extra apps that may need to be removed.
