Which is the best phone to buy under ₹50,000 in India?
While the OnePlus 12R stands out as the best overall phone in this price range, it also has a few drawbacks, including a lack of wireless charging support, no AI features and lower OS update support (compared to the Pixel 8a).
Meanwhile, for users who want a great camera experience and can live with a relatively less powerful chipset, there is probably no better phone in the sub- ₹50,000 price range that can match the picture quality of a Pixel device.
Nothing Phone (2), on the other hand, is a great alternative for users who want a cleaner software experience, a quirky design and wireless charging support without paying the premium for the Google Pixel device.
