The premium smartphone segment is a highly competitive and populated one, especially in big markets like India. At a price point of Rs. 50,000 and under, most manufacturers are expected to provide flagship-grade hardware with an equally fluid software experience. There's certainly no room for gimmicky features which offer style over substance, with consumers still preferring devices which offer the most value for their money. The staple expectations from smartphones under Rs. 50,000 usually include great displays, stellar cameras with telephoto sensors, top notch performance, and enduring battery life with rapid charging capabilities.
