While fans might contest this claim, OnePlus takes the lead due to this wide feature set wrapped in a clean experience.

The Chinese smartphone maker also has a decent track record in pushing updates (3 + 4 years promise) for bug fixes and new features.

Best Battery Phone: Samsung Galaxy F54

Samsung Galaxy F54 ships with a massive 6,000mAh battery (with 25W charging) for the ones who charge their smartphones once in two days. Besides good software and cameras, the phone offers an immersive Super AMOLED 120Hz screen. This can also prove to be a good option for users who wish to ‘only’ buy a Samsung phone in the under Rs 30K price bracket.

Best Rear Cameras: OPPO Reno 10 5G
