7200Verdict: Samsung Galaxy M35 5G has the best display in the group with its vibrant colours. It has 3 camera’s on the back which offer good shots in sunlight and decent low light indoor shots too. It boasts lenses for macro and ultra-wide shots too. In this range we think this is the best camera. The battery life is quite good and overall this phone is the best buy.

Verdict: OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is our 2nd choice overall for the best android based phone under Rs. 20,000. The display is crisp enough an the 120 Hz refresh rate makes it fast. It’s Snapdragon 695 processor is not as fast and you might see the occasional lag in intense gaming. The screen is bright enough indoors and better than the others outdoors too. Its pictures from the main camera are good but lack saturation sometimes. It misses out on an ultra-wide camera.

Verdict: Nothing Phone (2a) 5G is what you get when you want to stand out from the crowd, its glyph design is instantly likeable and trendy and will get second glances. Apart from the best front camera in this lineup. Gaming wise its quite decent, most games will play without any lag. The screen is almost as good as the best screen which we gave to the samsung M35. Quite a capable phone from Nothing.

Verdict: Samsung Galaxy M16 5G is the best budget phone here. It does everything ok but wont beat any other phone in this group in any specific aspect. But its got the best value for money. Its insane that samsung is able to give all these features at this price. Gamers can use this phone too and it will only lag in very intense graphic gaming. Battery is great too and will last a day and a half.

Verdict: Motorola G64 5G is the only phone here with and IPS LCD display. However its downfall is the 560 nits peak brightness, its tough to use this phone in bright sunlight. The battery life is good even when gaming, it will last up to 2 days with normal usage. The camera is ok but not as good as some of the others in this group. Overall, a good phone for its price point but i’ll still put in Rs 1000 more and go for the Galaxy M16.
