The OnePlus 13 has a brand-new design that’s now available in a vegan leather option as well. Accompanying the new design are new cases with magnets in place to hold the new wireless charging accessories. The phone is both IP68 and IP69 certified for dust and water resistance.
OnePlus has a new quad-curved screen for its mostly flat display, which is a departure from the curved edge displays on previous models. The phone runs OxygenOS 15, which is based on Android 15 and comes with many new and useful AI-enabled features.

The Oppo Find X8 Pro goes with the typical Oppo design language consisting of curved sides and rounded corners. It sticks with metal and glass but goes with 3d-curved screens offering a quad-curved panel for its display.
While the quad-curved display looks attractive, it’s not the best outdoors as it produces one too many reflections which can get distracting.
Oppo has included top-notch camera hardware but sadly hasn’t optimised it well, resulting in images that aren’t really best in class. Contrary to its camera capabilities, we were impressed by its video recordings.
Battery life thanks to its new energy-dense battery technology is stellar. The same applies for charging speeds which are class-leading both for wired and wireless charging.
Software is a bit of a mixed bag. Oppo has added plenty of customisation options especially for its lockscreen, but fumbles a bit when it comes to AI features.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra has a compact design that finally gets an IPX8 rating for water resistance. There’s a brand-new hinge which makes its design more compact and the hinge more reliable.
The practical cover display has now grown bigger and comes with some new tricks including the ability to access Google’s Gemini AI model for all sorts of queries. Simply put, a lot of tasks can be accomplished without ever opening the main display.
Performance is not a problem when it comes to daily use and even for some 3D gaming. The phone can handle it all, but gets hot when using the camera, particularly when recording video.
Battery life is as good as it can possibly get with a slim and stylish foldable. But charging too has gotten faster. The phone can also charge fast wirelessly but needs a proprietary charger to accomplish that.

Vivo’s X Fold 3 Pro has a design which uses aluminium for its frame, its proprietary Armour glass for its cover display and glass fibre for its rear panel that results in a foldable that weighs as much as a regular smartphone.
Its hinge and displays work smartly together offering a design that’s not just slim and light, but also allows for an IPX8 rating for water resistance. The phone also offers true AOD mode which turns the phone in a table clock when not being used.
There’s plenty of raw performance that can easily match regular bar-shaped flagships and Vivo has also added a vapour cooling system to keep the phone cool when stressed.
Still camera performance is very good in all types of lighting conditions. The software experience has a few annoying niggles, but comes with the latest Android 14 base. Battery life is top-notch both for a foldable and a regular smartphone.

The Realme 12 Pro+ offers a vegan-leather design for its rear panel and also has a very watch-like fluted metal ring around its revamped cameras. The phone isn’t just about a fancy design, but also packs in a solid IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
Its processor offers more than enough capability to handle day to day tasks and multitasking, but also offers decent gaming performance. The phone also offers the latest Android 14 software but comes loaded with bloatware, which thankfully isn’t intrusive and does not affect the software experience.
Apart from its design, the phone’s biggest highlight are its cameras. While the primary camera performs well in all types of lighting conditions, the telephoto camera is the showstopper, offering excellent capability at native focal lengths in all types of lighting conditions.

The Realme GT 7 Pro has an IP69-rated design that is made of metal and glass. Both the front and rear glass panels have 3D-curved edges on all four sides, making it comfortable to hold given its large footprint.
The phone processor offers more than enough raw performance for casual use and can handle any game you can throw at it without breaking sweat. The software experience is buttery smooth and has been updated to the latest version of Android.
Camera performance is good for its price tag, but this performance is mainly limited to its primary and telephoto cameras. The ultrawide camera is subpar, and the video recording quality is average for a smartphone in this price bracket.
Battery life, given the battery’s massive capacity, easily lasts two days with regular use. Charging speed is speedy even for a flagship device. However, this phone lacks wireless charging.

The Find X8 is well-equipped when it comes to cameras. They offer good overall performance and are also good when it comes to recording video.
Software is a bit of a mixed bag with Oppo attempting to be the jack of all trades. It offers immense customisation options with a new found focus on the lockscreen, but comes up a bit short with its image editing tools.

Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a very slim design for a foldable both when closed and open. It has flat sides with a metal frame and rear and front panels made of glass. The design is IP rated but only for water.
Performance is just fine. But software seems to be optimised for battery savings and so is not a buttery smooth experience. Google 7 years of software and security updates along with the phone’s numerous AI features sweeten the deal. The phone comes with several image editing and image generation features which work well.
Camera performance is a bit below average given the phone’s price. The same applies to video recording which is also quite poor.
Battery life is a bit below average considering that the competition manages better. The same applies to wired and wireless charging speeds which are quite slow.

Camera performance of the primary and camera is good and the same goes for the phone’s telephoto camera, but the ultrawide camera’s image quality leaves a lot to be desired.

The Honor 200 offers a stunning design, which makes it stand out from the crowd. The handset offers a crisp display, making it an ideal multimedia device. The Honor 200 also brings decent performance, though looking at the competition, it may appear to be an underdog. However, the camera is where the Honor 200 stands out from the competition. The phone takes some perfect photos in both daylight and low-light conditions. The portraits came out to be quite good from the rear sensor, while the selfies look good, though they are a bit over-styled. The device also packs a decent battery life that can easily last one whole day with medium usage. That said, if you are looking for a sleek phone with good camera capabilities, then you can consider the Honor 200.

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.

iQoo’s Z9x takes a practical approach to design by going with a plastic rear panel and frame. While it looks like a regular budget smartphone, it offers an IP64 rating which offers proper protection against dust but basic protection against water.
The phone offers good performance for a budget smartphone at this price point and is also good for some mid-level gaming as it can handle 3D games.
Camera performance is average for a smartphone at this price point but the iQoo Z9x has only one user-accessible rear-facing camera. Software performance is good but there’s plenty of spammy notifications and preinstalled third-party apps.
Battery life is very good. The phone easily lasts two days on a single charge with casual usage and more than a day with heavy usage as well. Charging speeds are impressive and the bundled charger quickly charges the large battery.

The Moto G64 5G is a minor update over last year's Moto G54 5G. It comes with a slightly faster MediaTek Dimensity 7025 SoC, which is paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The phone is fast enough for most tasks and you can also play most games on it without any heating issues or lag. However, you'll need to run high-end games on lower settings. You get a dual rear camera setup with a main 50-megapixel sensor with OIS, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Photo quality is good in daylight conditions, but lowlight performance isn't that good. The phone also packs a 6,000mAh battery that can easily last two days with normal usage. A 33W fast charger is available in the box. The Moto G64 5G, while it doesn't offer major upgrades over its predecessor, is still good value for money and easy to recommend.

The OnePlus Nord CE4 has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. It has a frame made out of polycarbonate that is supposed to be very durable and is able to sustain drops. The rear panel too is made of polycarbonate.
The phone offers good performance for the casual user, but is not ideal for gaming. Its display can get really bright outdoors and is also HDR10-certified. While it offers a high refresh rate, its touch sampling rate or sensitivity comes up a bit short while playing FPS games
The Nord CE4 comes with OxygenOS 14, which is based on Android 14. It is highly customisable and offers some handy new features like Fluid Cloud. Some of these features are AI-enabled.
Overall camera performance is quite average for its segment and video recording quality isn’t great either. Battery life is excellent and the phone offers fast wired charging.

It is offered with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. You also get an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. The phone has a 6.7-inch pOLED curved display with 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits.

Vivo continues to explore mid-range possibilities with the camera-focused V30 Pro. The phone has a sleek design and decent specifications like a 3D curved-edge display that is bright in broad daylight as well.
Its daylight camera performance is notable, but low-light photography leaves room for improvement. 4K video on both, the rear cameras and the front camera is quite good. Zeiss lens filters are a good addition to the V series and can make the shooting experience a bit more fun.
The IP54 rating for dust and water resistance is disappointing for a smartphone in this price range and the latest AI features are also missing on this one. Raw performance is far from the best in class, but the phone offers a smooth software experience with the latest updates.
The Vivo V30 Pro could be an option for those prioritising camera capabilities and style in a premium smartphone, but be aware of its limitations.

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ is the mid-variant in the new Galaxy S24 lineup, but offers more upgrades compared to last year. Although the design is mostly similar to the Galaxy S23+, you get a newer Exynos 2400 SoC, a larger 4,900mAh battery with 45W fast charging support, and a slightly bigger 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED 2x display. The display now also offers QHD+ resolution, which the predecessor lacked. In the camera department, the hardware remains mostly the same. You can expect excellent photos in daylight conditions from all four cameras on the phone. Lowlight photos also come out good. The ultra-wide camera still lacks autofocus, unfortunately, but can still deliver good photos. Performance is flagship level and you can play any game at full settings, but the phone does tend to heat up. If you don't want to spend your money on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, then you should consider the Galaxy S24+ as it comes close to the Ultra in terms of specifications.

The Oppo Reno 11 Pro offers a slim and rounded design which appears quite premium despite being made out of polycarbonate and glass. However it lacks an official IP rating of any sort and still does not offer a stereo speaker setup.
The new Dimensity processor is powerful enough for handling regular smartphone tasks and can even handle heavy 3D games. Oppo offers the latest Android 14 software out of the box but it packs in plenty of bloatware and double apps.
The phone offers a very flexible camera setup among which its primary camera offers the best imaging performance followed by the telephoto camera which is good for snapping portraits. Its ultra-wide camera is quite weak and the same can be said about the phone’s video performance in general.
Battery life is quite solid for a slim design-focussed smartphone but charging is very quick.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ offers a great mid-range smartphone experience. The device has a stunning design with a vegan leather back and a curved display that makes it comfortable to hold and provides a perfect one-hand grip. The display is a 6.67-inch 3D Curved AMOLED with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and it gives a stunning display for most multimedia needs. The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is powered by a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Ultra processor clocked at 2.8GHz and is excellent for multitasking. The primary camera is solid, and the battery life is good. The device has cons like unnecessary bloatware, unreliable ultra-wide and macro cameras, and Android 13 out-of-the-box. Overall, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is an excellent smartphone for the price if you can overlook some caveats.
