BEST MOBILE PHONES UNDER 40000 IN INDIA

Oppo’s Reno 10 Pro+ 5G is its first Reno branded smartphone to make it into the premium segment. The device has a premium design with a polycarbonate frame sandwiched between two sheets of 3D curved glass screens. Despite its premium price, the phone lacks some premium features like an IP rating and wireless charging.

Performance with its slightly outdated processor is still quite good and will be sufficient for most premium smartphone users. Gaming performance with the curved edge OLED display’s 240Hz touch sampling rate is also very impressive.

Camera performance is quite good. While the primary camera performs as expected, the ultra-wide isn’t best in class. The high-resolution telephoto camera does an impressive job while shooting at its native 3X optical zoom, which is useful for portraits and close-ups.

Battery life easily lasts over a day with heavy usage and the included 100W charger is rather quick when it comes to charging the phone.

Xiaomi 14 Civi is here to shake things up in the sub-Rs. 50,000 price segment. Its slim design, Leica camera prowess, solid performance credentials, and decent speakers make it a solid package worth considering in this price category. On the downside, the missing IP68 rating is a much-needed feature at this price point, and random app notifications from installed apps may sometimes bother you. Nevertheless, it's a noteworthy addition to the sub-Rs. 50,000 smartphone portfolio and is an excellent value proposition.

The Honor 200 Pro has a stunning design that makes it stand out from the crowd, a crisp display that makes multimedia consumption a breeze, and a flagship-grade performance with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

However, the Honor 200 Pro's camera sets it apart from the competition. It takes some perfect photos in both daylight and low-light conditions. The portraits came out to be sharp and crisp, full of details from the rear sensor.

The front camera performance is decent, and you get good shots in daylight and low-light conditions. The Honor 200 Pro also packs a decent battery life. Overall, if you are looking for a reliable camera-centric smartphone with no budget constraints, you can consider the Honor 200 Pro. 

The Pixel 8a has a fresh new design that will remind many of the premium offerings in Google’s smartphone lineup. Its design still uses a plastic back but now has a more premium feel thanks to its soft, frosted finish.

The phone also offers a solid IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Its Tensor G3 brings plenty of new AI features once reserved for the premium Pixels to the A series. Performance is still not its strong point, but it offers decent performance for everyday app usage.

Still, the camera performance is pretty solid, and the same can be said about the rear camera’s low-light performance, which works well on both primary and ultrawide cameras.

Battery life is not great but will last most users a day. Charging speeds are still quite slow and the same applies to the Qi standard wireless charging the phone offers.
