Be it chasing gaming performance, colorful screens, or handy cameras, there’s something here that may just blow you away. Let’s take a peek at what each of these phones has to offer before you make that next big switch.

OnePlus 13R

This phone is unique in its blend of performance and battery life. Equipped with a massive AMOLED display, rich resolution, and seamless 120Hz refresh rate, watching feels immersive. Spurring ahead on the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chip and supported by 12GB RAM, it glides through multitasking. The triple rear camera system features two 50MP sensors, assuring razor-sharp shots. It also features a huge 6000mAh battery with 80W charging and reverse support, so you’re never left without battery life. It abandons expandable storage and headphone jack, but gets the basics right for most people.

Motorola Edge 50 Ultra

Motorola’s product is all about style and substance. It introduces a pOLED display with a scorching 144Hz refresh rate, ideal for high-refresh gaming or silky-smooth scrolling. Under the hood, Snapdragon 8s Gen3 performs tasks with efficiency, and the 512GB storage provides sufficient space for heavy users. Its camera setup features a 64MP primary sensor and an amazing 50MP selfie camera. Charging is super-fast at 125W, and wireless support provides ease of use. Its battery is less compared to competitors, but the features make up for it.

iQOO Neo 9 Pro

iQOO gets the job done with a Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor and up to 16GB RAM (virtual + physical), making it a go-to for those who want performance. Its 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen provides excellent clarity and a 3000 nits peak brightness. The dual rear cameras might be understated, but they are still decent, and they come with OIS. 120W fast charging refills the 5160mAh battery in no time. It’s an excellent all-rounder, although it does not support water resistance and wireless charging.

Google Pixel 7 Pro 5G

For die-hard Android fans, this Pixel is a top recommendation. The Tensor G2 might not be the quickest, but it provides a silky smooth AI-powered experience. The screen is sharp with high pixel density and 120Hz refresh, ideal for media enthusiasts. Its camera configuration has a 50MP main sensor and Google’s software wizardry, which continues to astound. Although it packs a smaller 128GB storage and slower 30W charging, Pixel’s strength is its minimalistic design, timely software updates, and camera reliability.

Apple iPhone 13

Despite a compact form factor, iPhone 13 still exudes a premium feel. Its Super Retina XDR screen is colorful, albeit capped at 60Hz. The A15 Bionic chip is fast and guarantees longevity, and is therefore a good investment. Cameras are still stable, and video recording excels with the addition of Dolby Vision. The RAM and battery are smaller compared to competitors, but iOS optimization ensures it runs effectively. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem, this is an excellent choice under ₹45K following recent price reductions.
