Best smartphones with various budgets in 2022

This year's prominent smartphone features include a 5G connection, 120W fast charging, OIS-enabled cameras, and 120Hz refresh rate screens. We've previously examined the top smartphones under specific price ranges, but the question remains: which phone was the greatest in 2022? It would be tough to pick the best smartphone for everyone because finances vary greatly.

Readers should know that we have used the smartphone's current retail price. This implies that while specific gadgets were initially more expensive, they are now much more affordable smartphones in the country.

Here is the list below

  • Google Pixel 7 Pro
  • Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G
  • OnePlus 9RT
  • iQoo Z6
  • Moto G32

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is the best smartphone priced above Rs 80,000?

Regarding smartphones priced above Rs 80,000, we typically recommend iPhones due to factors such as cameras, software updates, display, build, and features. While the iPhone 14 Pro series remains one of the most incredible deals, Google's new Pixel 7 Pro ups the ante.

  • It has a high-quality design, and the cameras for still photography are dependable.
  • However, Google smartphones are known for having the strongest AI and ML capabilities in the industry, and the Pixel 7 Pro is no exception.
  • The smartphone comes with three months of YouTube Premium and Google One subscriptions, as well as Live Translate and photography capabilities like Magic Eraser, Real Tone, Photo Unblur, and Guided Frame.
  • If you want to be the most productive, I recommend the Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G, which received the most votes from my staff.
  • However, the phone is costly at Rs 1.56 lakh, despite the unrivalled experience in the foldable industry.

Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G is the best smartphone, around Rs 70,000

The flagship smartphone industry in India is expanding rapidly, and iPhones are no longer the sole significant players. Android phone manufacturers have continued to release quality phones in this price range, giving users more choices.

  • We picked the Xiaomi 12 Pro (Rs 55,999) for three key reasons: cameras, display, and battery life.
  • It is the only smartphone in the class with three 50-megapixel cameras that capture excellent daytime and night images.
  • Its 10bit 2K+ curved AMOLED display and Harman Kardon speakers dramatically improve the movie and YouTube video viewing experience.
  • Finally, the Xiaomi 12 Pro supports 120W wired charging, which can charge the 4600mAh battery entirely in 25 minutes.

However, the flagship category featured a close battle between the Samsung Galaxy S22 and the Pixel 7. Both smartphones guarantee at least four years of Android upgrades. You can select a phone from your favourite brand in such a scenario.

The OnePlus 9RT is the best smartphone for Rs 40,000

Many smartphone manufacturers released a slew of appealing smartphones in the Rs 40,000 price range, making it more difficult for our team to select the finest handset.

There was a close race between three smartphones, but most of us chose the OnePlus 9RT (pun intended). The phone is priced at Rs 42,999 on the official OnePlus website, although it is available for Rs 39,000 via e-commerce sites. Unfortunately, it may be challenging to locate since units may be out of stock.

  • If you can locate it, the OnePlus 9RT is an excellent choice, especially for people who want a minimalist look.
  • It has a Snapdragon 888 5G processor that can perform various demanding activities.
  • The cameras on board are adequate, and the charging speeds (65W) are sufficient.
  • The Android 13 update is also available for the OnePlus 9RT.

The iQoo Z6 is the best smartphone, around Rs 20,000

The iQOO Z6 5G was released in India in May for Rs 15,499 and above. The smartphone now costs Rs 17,999 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and is available in two colours.

  • Many users prefer the Moto G62, but we opted for the iQOO since it is a good choice for pictures and games.
  • Another benefit is the 120Hz refresh rate, albeit the viewing experience may irritate specific consumers owing to the LCD screen.
  • The iQOO Z6 has a long battery life.
  • However, the charging is just 18W.
  • If quick charging is essential, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G supports 33W fast charging.

Moto G32 is the best smartphone, with around Rs 10,000

The Moto G32, initially priced at Rs 12,999 for the only 4GB RAM + 64GB storage option, has been available for less than Rs 10,000 for many weeks. According to the Google Chrome price tracker tool, it was reduced to Rs 10,999 in November and is presently available for less than Rs 10,000 in India.

  • The Moto G32 is a fantastic value for money thanks to its sleek Android UI and Snapdragon 680 SoC.
  • Its triple back camera system comprises a 50-megapixel sensor capable of taking great photographs in low-light circumstances.
  • The smartphone also boasts a 5,000mAh battery that can last a whole day on a single charge and speakers that support Dolby Atmos.
  • Overall, it is a fantastic smartphone for senior clients who prefer to watch YouTube videos or surf the web for extended periods.
