February 2024 kicked off with a bang in the tech world, with several highly anticipated smartphones hitting the market and it also ended with one of the biggest smartphone events, Mobile World Congress (MWC). MySmartPrice reported the event from ground zero and showcased to our audience the upcoming innovations coming in the tech world. If you haven’t checked all the major announcements yet, click here.
Of course, all this means a lot happened in the Indian smartphone market last month, which means it’s time to bring back our monthly MSP Tech Insights. As always, we have collected data from over 15 million shoppers who visited our platform in February to make their gadget purchase decisions. This also means that the popularity of these phones does not necessarily mean they were purchased too, but indicates that they enjoyed a higher mindshare. So without further delay, here are the top 10 most popular smartphones in Feb.
Most Popular Mobile Phones in February 2024
1. Motorola Edge 40 Neo
Even after five months of its release, the Motorola Edge 40 Neo is still the most popular smartphone in India. The phone recently got a new Peach Fuzz colour option in the country. Priced at Rs 22,999, it is the only device to ship with the MediaTek Dimensity 7030 SoC in the subcontinent. It also sports a 144Hz curved pOLED screen, an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, a 50MP main camera, a 32MP selfie snapper, and fast charging, among others.

3. OnePlus 12R
The OnePlus 12R is the most expensive phone on this list, and yet, it’s the most affordable offering in India with the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

Almost a year has passed and the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite is still staying strong in our MSP Tech Insights’s popularity list.

The Realme 12 Pro Plus is the first-ever numbered series device from the brand with a periscope-style camera.
