7.7/10 by Shimul Sood | 28 Nov 2024

With its vibrant display and 90Hz refresh rate, the Galaxy A16 offers a smooth experience for everyday tasks. However, it heats up during extended gaming sessions, and its camera is just average, especially for selfies. If you're after solid performance and battery life, it’s a good choice. But for a more well-rounded experience in the under-Rs 20,000 range, consider options like the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite or iQOO Z9s.

8.1/10 by Shubham Raheja | 11 Jul 2024

The CMF Phone 1 feels unique yet familiar, akin to what the Nokia Lumia 525 was for college students. It's aimed at a similar market, offering a hipster vibe, smooth performance, and solid basics. Despite lacking an ultrawide camera, stereo speakers, and the Glyph interface, its modularity is a standout feature. A competition to encourage third-party accessory innovation could boost its appeal. Priced at Rs 15,999, it's positioned to undercut the POCO X6 Pro and OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite, differentiating it from Nothing's main series. If you value smooth software and a unique design, check it out.
