Battery: 5000mAh

The Galaxy S21 Ultra sets the bar higher than any other Samsung phone from the past, with strides in the camera zoom technology, performance, battery life, and display. If you are looking for the absolute best smartphone in India that doesn't cut any corners, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is for you.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra is one gorgeous-looking smartphone with a strong design and a finish that doesn't catch fingerprints or scratches. It has a 6.8-inch curved edge-to-edge screen with QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Exynos 2100 powers the device which is paired with 12GB of RAM - the experience with Exynos processor is much better this time with excellent performance for the most part and improved efficiency. However, not everything is rosy, as it still suffers during heavy tasks such as gaming. There's a fair bit of heating too, which is soon followed by throttling.
In terms of optics, the device comes with a 108MP ISOCELL HM3 main camera, an ultra-wide lens, two telephoto cameras, and a 40MP selfie camera. The on-paper specs translate very well into real-life results with lovely images at all focal lengths. Photos have a great quality till almost 30x, you can go up to 100x too.
The 5,000mAh battery units last for a day with 5 to 6 hours screen on time and the 25W adapter takes the device from 0 to 100% in 90 minutes. The device also supports wireless charging. Lastly, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung's first non-Note phone that's compatible with its S Pen stylus, and it's a trend we like seeing. However, there is no S Pen included with the phone and, even when you make a separate purchase, there's no way to embed the stylus into the body of the phone. While it ticks all the boxes, it loses expandable storage and a charger in the box.

The best value-for-money in the Apple world is the iPhone 12, which is also one of the most compact phones on the list. The new boxy design is a departure from the curved edges we're used to seeing on smartphones these days, making it somewhat uncomfortable to hold. The front of the iPhone 12 features a new Ceramic Shield to further protect it from shattering. Additionally, you also get an IP68 rating for protection against water and dust.
The iPhone 12 comes with a 6.1-inch OLED display which makes viewing content on the phone much better compared to the previous models. The iPhone 12 has 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution, and the display is sharp and clear, and viewable at all angles. However, unlike the Android competitions, the iPhone 12 comes with just a 60Hz refresh rate.
The device comes with three 12MP cameras, two on the back and one on the front. The overall camera capability of the camera has been improved from the last-gen which means you won't be disappointed with the device even if you come just for the cameras.
The iPhone 12 series is powered by an A14 Bionic chipset that is more power-efficient than ever, while still achieving some of the best performance stats of any phone on the market. It is built on top of a 5nm fabrication process that also results in better performance and efficiency.
Talking about the battery, the iPhone 12 can last one day, but this is not the best in terms of battery life. For charging, you will have to spend extra money on the charger for your new iPhone Additionally, you also get the MagSafe wireless charging solution.

-Slow charging -Average battery life
The 5G version of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 chipset, which itself makes this a great smartphone. The Exynos variant of the Galaxy S20 FE had quite a bit of issue like battery life and heating - these shortcomings have been addressed with the Snapdragon chipset.
This is also a Samsung flagship phone we can wholeheartedly recommend and the pricing is also pretty aggressive in Samsung standards. The heating issues which we had on the Exynos variant are also gone for good. However, the slow 15W charging is still a pain. But, if you can leave that behind, you get a pretty great smartphone from a top brand.
The device comes with a 12MP f/1.8 main, 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide, and 8MP f/2.4 telephoto shooter along with OIS. The image captured via the phone's camera is a true flagship grade and we were pretty impressed with the results. To the front, you get a 32MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture.
Apart from that you also get an IP68 rating, wireless charging, and a cool design. On top of that, you are also getting a solid 120Hz Support AMOLED display.

Smartphones from Vivo have always been one of the best-designed and capable cameras. This time around, with the Vivo X60 Pro, the company also nailed the pricing. In the camera department, the Vivo X60 Pro sports a 48MP(Sony IMX598) primary camera with gimbal stabilization, a 12MP portrait camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide camera. As for the selfie camera, it is a 32MP camera with an f/2.5 aperture.
The camera performance is definitely one of the best in the segment and the design of the phone is something unique and is again, one of the best you can find on a phone. It comes with a 6.56-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate which produces excellent colors and viewing angles.
The device is powered by Snapdragon 870 chipset which is efficient and powerful enough even for gaming and heavy apps. A 4,200mAh battery unit is backed by a 33W fast charging which easily lasts one day.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is finally a flagship from the brand that we can wholeheartedly recommend, thanks to a massively improved camera system, along with capable performance, a beautiful display and impressively fast charging, ticking all the boxes that a premium Android smartphone should.
That being said, the OnePlus 9 Pro is still not the first flagship we can recommend purely because the competition has gotten so much better at the same price or lesser price tag. Running on the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset with oodles of fast storage and RAM, the OnePlus 9 Pro is as good as things get on the Android side of things when it comes to performance. The build and design are also now premium with a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display that is bright, clear, colourful, and smooth.
The weakest point of the OnePlus 9 Pro experience is its battery life. The 4,500mAh pack offers an average backup that is easy to kill by the end of the day. Thanks to the new 65W fast charging, the device can go from 0 to 100% in just about 35 minutes. As a bonus, you also get a 50W wireless charging.
The camera is one area that the OnePlus phones have struggled all along and with the OnePlus 9 Pro that changes by a fair bit. OnePlus partnered with Hasselblad to process the images and we could see improvements in colour accuracy and temperature. The main camera is a 48MP f/1.8 unit, using the new 1/1.43-inch Sony IMX789 sensor, the secondary 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor is one of the best ultra-wide cameras on a smartphone, and you also get a 3.3x telephoto lens that has an 8MP resolution. In a nutshell, the OnePlus 9 Pro's photography experience is much better than anything we've seen from OnePlus earlier.

The Google Pixel 4a is for those who need an excellent camera phone around the Rs 30,000 mark and want to be the first in the line to get Android updates.
