Diwali 2025 Selfie Guide :  More than just beautiful lights and mouth-watering goodies, Diwali is about the cherished moments enjoyed with family and friends under the glittering decorations. In this festive season, if you are planning to get a great selfie camera to brighten the occasion, this list comprises some of the best selfie smartphones today-burning a hole in your pocket or otherwise, from among several brands.

What Makes For A Nice Selfie Phone On Diwali

Before we get to the list, we should take a moment to discuss the things that might help turn a good selfie into a freaking awesome one, especially during Diwali. An above-average megapixel count for the front-facing camera guarantees crisper shots, even when cropped or zoomed in upon, while later fiddling with that oh-so-perfect shot. A bigger aperture setting improves the condition of low-light pictures taken for diyas and nighttime decorations. Checklist items include night mode, beauty filters, skin tone corrections, and, for good measure, some nice bright screen flash. Altogether, with some of these features, your selfies will shine through in low festive light.

1. Vivo V50 5G

Vivo has already gained prominent fame amongst selfie cameras, and with the V50 5G, it lives up to its fame once again. The near-panchromatic 50-megapixel front camera with AI beauty mode is put to restorative use in capturing thousands of festival sparkle details just right. Diwali sparkles during the daylight, and dim lights are the dazzling subjects for this camera. Price locked close to ₹28,000, various retail outlets are offering discounts for this smartphone during the festive season.

If your good selfies must possess rich accuracy in skin tones, then the Google Pixel 9a should definitely cut here. This phone’s advanced AI by Google fetches the best there is for proper selfie processing and HDR touches. Your images would also have uniform illumination and appropriate ones under adverse lighting conditions. Even harder to resist for all-natural selfie invitees at around ₹41,950.
