Best Mobile Phones Under 35000 in India

At a price tag of Rs. 32,999, the Oppo F31+ 5G impresses on two metrics: its battery life and durability. The handset can easily deliver over a day and a half of casual usage and can even stretch to two if you're conservative. It has a robust build that can survive drops and submersion in water and dust. However, these are not the only criteria for a good smartphone today, and other areas leave a bit to be desired. The cameras are par for the course, and the overall software experience is riddled with bloatware. These issues, coupled with a dated chipset, make the Oppo F31+ 5G a package that isn?t the best value-for-money.

The Realme GT 7T serves as the entry point for consumers in the GT 7 series, offering better value than the GT 7. The battery backup sets a benchmark for the segment, while performance credentials are reassuring. The dual camera setup is decent but could have been better, while the display is top-notch. The GT 7T also features a host of AI capabilities that keep it up-to-date. If you're looking for a smartphone that guarantees performance without compromise, then look no further than the GT 7T.

iQOO’s Neo 10 is a mid-range smartphone design with a mobile gamer’s requirements in mind. However, in the process, it will also attract the non-gaming crowd because of the advantages its gaming-grade hardware brings to the table.

Its chassis and rear-panel use polycarbonate and is a smudge magnet. But this helps shed some weight and keeps the phone’s overall design quite slim given the massive battery and vapour-chamber cooling system.

Its display has skinny borders and is fast enough and useful while playing games thanks to the added chipset, which enables additional gaming features. Performance is top-notch for a mid-range smartphone and it also remains cool when stressed.

The phone’s primary camera performs very well in all lighting conditions but the ultrawide camera left us wanting for more. Battery life is excellent and can easily last beyond a day of heavy use. Wired charging is blazing fast.
 

The Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G brings a lot of improvement to the Reno series. The latest smartphone from the brand offers a sleeker design language with aluminium frames and an  IP69 rating. The handset also packs a punch in terms of performance and gives you a good value-for-money proposition in this price segment. The cameras are capable of clicking some good photos in different lighting conditions. The Oppo Reno 13 Pro also has a good battery life, lasting slightly more than a day and having moderate to heavy usage. That said, if you are looking for an all-round package, consider this smartphone. 

The Infinix Note 60 Pro was recently launched in India as another mid-range smartphone from the tech firm. The handset currently retails at Rs. 31,999 in the country, which is a crowded space. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, which is built on a 4nm process, helping it deliver great performance for its price, which surpasses some of the more expensive handsets, too. The dual rear camera system on the Note 60 Pro is also quite capable, with crisp daytime performance and decent nighttime capturing. However, in portrait mode, the phone’s erratic snapping performance gets highlighted.

The Realme 16 gets a fresh-new design, going with a flatter and modern appearance. It also gets a visor-like camera module with all its cameras laid out horizontally. Despite extensive use of polycarbonate for the rear panel and the chassis, the phone still manages at IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.

While software performance gets the job done, raw or gaming performance is underwhelming. Mobile titles heavy on graphics can barely run smoothly despite having a vapour cooling chamber in place to maintain performance.

Software experience is heavy with AI features, some of which deliver. Camera performance is quite poor as the primary camera cannot handle basic daylight performance. The selfie camera does a better job at imaging. Battery life is impressive and can easily handle over a day of heavy use.
