8.2/10 by Surbhi Chawla | 21 Apr 2025

The Galaxy A56 5G gets the basics right with a sleek design, vibrant display, and dependable battery life, making it a strong all-rounder in the midrange segment. It may not be the flashiest, but it's built to last and delivers where it matters. That said, for its price, the Galaxy A56 faces a lot of competition from phones such as the OnePlus 13R, Xiaomi 14 CIVI, and Vivo V50, all of which offer fairly good cameras and more powerful performance. Not just that, you also get a good combo of battery life and blazing fast charging speeds. So, if that's on your priority list, maybe going with the above options will be more beneficial.

8.6/10 by Vanshika Malhotra | 05 Mar 2025

The Nothing Phone (3a) is a good successor to the Phone (2a) and offers good performance and display experience. The NothingOS is great as usual and the design stands out for sure. The display is also great, making it a perfect sub-Rs 25,000 phone right now.
