BEST 5G MOBILE PHONES UNDER 50000 IN INDIA

The iQOO 15R is a return to the "flagship killer" philosophy, with an emphasis on pure speed and battery life. The phone responds quickly at all times, with a smooth screen and battery life that essentially eliminates battery anxiety. The cameras may not be the best around, nor is the software the cleanest with a healthy dose of bloatware, but it’s a top-shelf recommendation nonetheless.

Oppo F35 Pro 5G was recently launched in India, marking 10 years of the Oppo F series in India. Priced at Rs. 45,999, the new smartphone is more expensive than its predecessor, with the base variant offering less RAM. The Oppo F35 Pro 5G looks identical to the Oppo F33 Pro 5G, which was launched earlier this year. However, it gets a significant display and chipset upgrade over the Oppo F33 Pro 5G. The Oppo F35 Pro 5G is also 0.1mm thicker than its predecessor, but the marginal difference is barely noticeable. Yet, the focus of the new F series phone remains selfies, which is still quite good.
 

Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ recently arrived in India as the upgraded version of its Pro sibling. The new smartphone debuted in the country with the promise of offering multiple upgrades over the Edge 70 Pro. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ ships with 15W wireless charging support and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera on the back, both of which were notably missing on the Pro model. For these two upgrades, the company charges a Rs. 9,000 premium over the Pro model, which, in my opinion, is a little steep. However, with rising smartphone prices, it is still a good deal if a telephoto camera is a must for you.

The Redmi Turbo 5’s IP69K-rated design uses a mix of glass and metal which feels very premium. Its flat display gets sufficiently bright outdoors and supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision standards. The accompanying speakers also sound rich and loud making it great for entertainment.

Performance is not a problem with the Redmi Turbo 5 as Xiaomi has added a vapour chamber cooling system which keeps the phone running smoothly when stressed. Its software experience feels smooth and fluid but it does come loaded with plenty of bloatware.

The primary camera performs well both in daylight and low-light shooting conditions. The ultrawide camera captures softer images that aren’t that useful. The selfie camera is a weak spot and produces soft images that are low on detail.

Battery life is good but it will only last you a day under with heavy gaming use. Casual users will see better results. Charging speeds are quite fast given the high-capacity battery.

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro has a slim and stylish metal unibody design that’s also durable with an IP65 rating resisting dust and water. The phone has a unique-looking contoured camera module which now comes with a Glyph Matrix sourced from its flagship.

Performance isn’t a problem for casual users, gaming also isn't an issue, but those into heavy and demanding 3D games will have to settle for medium graphics. Nothing OS 4.1 runs smoothly and comes with some new tricks including a convenient way to download vibe-coded Essential apps.

Camera performance is quite impressive both in daylight and low-light settings. Particularly good is the new telephoto shooter that now offers up to 7X lossless zoom. Battery life is good as well and easily lasts a whole day with heavy usage.

The OnePlus 15R doesn’t appear to be a radical departure from earlier R-series phones, but it feels noticeably more capable in everyday use. Strong flagship-grade performance, a smooth high-refresh-rate display, and excellent battery life form the core of its appeal. While there are some camera trade-offs, the OnePlus 15R stands out as a dependable near-flagship that prioritises power, endurance, and long-term usage.
