Great in-hand feel

Great battery for a compact phone
Cons
Ultrawide camera’s low-light video quality could be better

Verdict
The Vivo X200 Pro is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, particularly in telephoto photography and video capabilities. The 200MP sensor delivers impressive detail and low-light performance. The display is more responsive and easier to use, making the overall user experience smoother. The phone feels great in hand, and its performance is top-tier. The battery life is excellent for a compact phone. However, the ultrawide camera struggles in low-light video, and the processor can throttle under heavy loads, which may impact performance in demanding tasks, like gaming. Despite these minor drawbacks, the X200 Pro remains a compelling choice for those seeking a powerful and versatile smartphone.

This time, Apple has added more rounded edges, making it noticeably more comfortable in hand compared to earlier models. On the performance side, both the Pro and standard variants now share similar chipsets, incorporating AI features that enhance productivity. Additionally, a new capture button simplifies the camera experience, making zooming in and out much easier. The cameras themselves have received upgrades, ensuring they outperform those of their predecessors. If you're seeking a flagship device with a stylish design, top-tier build quality, and refined software, the iPhone 16 is the perfect choice.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, the flagship in the lineup, boasts the largest cover display in the flip market, packed with features in a sleek design. It offers solid battery life and performs well in good lighting, but for better performance, consider the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6. While versatile, the Razr 50 Ultra has its quirks - audio issues, performance glitches, and no ultra-wide camera.

The Rs 1,59,999 is steep, no doubt, but it can also double up as a laptop and tablet replacement. That said, Vivo still needs to polish their UI.

Cons

Verdict
The Xiaomi 14 is a compact phone with a very comfortable in-hand feel. Its glossy back panel is a fingerprint magnet, requiring constant cleaning. Despite this, the Xiaomi 14 is really attractive. The rich display quality and the 120Hz refresh rate enhance the viewing experience. The phone is powered by the latest chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The phone is very smooth for everyday use, and the animations are excellent, which is impressive. However, when playing demanding games, the phone starts heating up within 30 minutes, which is not ideal for avid gamers. One of the standout features of this phone is its cameras. It boasts a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, there's a 32MP selfie camera. The Xiaomi 14 can take incredible pictures in all environments, and the low-light picture quality is also great. The device has a 4610mAh battery, which is not particularly impressive, but it supports a 90W hypercharger, fully charging the phone in 35 minutes, which is quite convenient. Considering all these factors, the Xiaomi 14 is an excellent phone for everyday users, but avid gamers might need to look elsewhere.

At Rs 64,999, the Xiaomi 15 delivers a premium experience in a sleek, compact body. It's stylish, comfortable to hold, and surprisingly easy to use without a case. Performance in everyday use is smooth, with no hiccups during streaming, scrolling, or multitasking. It does heat up during intense gaming, so power users may want to consider other options like the iQOO 13 or OnePlus 13. The cameras shine in both daylight and low light, especially when using the telephoto lens. Battery life holds up well, lasting over a day with regular use. With a Rs 5,000 drop from its predecessor and no major compromises, the Xiaomi 15 strikes a great balance between form, function, and price

Verdict
The Vivo V50 feels like a familiar sequel - similar to the Vivo V40 but with some fresh upgrades. Vivo's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach works here. While not a radical change, the V50 surprised with its sleek design and solid improvements. The display and build feel premium, and though I feared dropping it due to the glossy/matte finish, I didn't have to test my luck. ZEISS cameras improve photo quality, and at Rs 34,999, it's a good deal for photography. Battery life easily lasts over a day and a half with heavy use. If you're on the Vivo V40, skip the upgrade. But if your phone's older, the V50 is a strong choice - just don't expect mind-blowing performance.

Verdict
The Galaxy S25 Ultra shifts focus from hardware to software and AI, offering a more refined experience. While its design is similar to the S24 Ultra, it still features one of the best smartphone displays, impressive performance, and long battery life. The cameras deliver consistent, high-quality results, and One UI 7 adds customization, with Samsung offering seven years of software support. However, it isn't without flaws: the S-Pen lacks Bluetooth, charging speeds are slow, and the shutter speed can miss moments. With the S24 Ultra priced Rs 9,000 lower, it remains a solid choice if you don't need the S25 Ultra's new features.

The OPPO Find X8 Pro is a premium flagship phone with a stunning design, excellent cameras, and a long-lasting battery. However, its high price tag may deter some buyers. While it offers top-notch performance and a vibrant display, it's not without its flaws like bloatware and an underutilised Quick button. If camera quality is your top priority, the Find X8 Pro is a great choice. But for those seeking raw performance, consider alternatives like the Realme GT 7 Pro or iQOO 13.

Verdict
The Find X8 is compact, fits easily in all my bags, and offers solid performance. The edges can be uncomfortable without a case, but it's a minor issue. With the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC, it has few rivals, though the iQOO 13 and Realme GT 7 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC are worth considering for top-tier performance. The Vivo X200, also with the Dimensity 9400, is another competitor with a similar design and great camera capabilities. At Rs 69,999, it's a bit steep, but if you're after excellent cameras, battery life, and performance in a compact package, the OPPO Find X8 is a solid choice.

The Pixel 9 Pro is compact, cute, and features impressive cameras - especially the 5x optical zoom and selfie cam. It handles daily tasks effortlessly, with battery life lasting well into the next day. The clean software and game-changing AI features, like Pixel Screenshots and automatic photo edits, are highlights. While its performance lags behind the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and others, it outshines the pricier Pixel 9 Pro XL. It can heat up during gaming or camera use, but cools down fast. Overall, it's a reliable, user-friendly device with long software support - though you'll pay a premium for it.

Verdict
The iPhone 16 Plus bridges the gap between base and Pro models with two Pro-style physical buttons, but it still lacks a 120Hz display. The A18 Bionic chip enables AAA games with Ray tracing, and battery life remains excellent. Minor camera improvements add appeal, while the upcoming Apple Intelligence looks promising. If you want a large phone without Pro Max pricing, the 16 Plus is a solid choice. However, if you already have the iPhone 15, the upgrade isn't significant. Owners of iPhone 14 or earlier models, however, will enjoy the benefits, including the new USB-C port.

The Pixel 9 is a solid upgrade but feels pricey at Rs 79,999. If you're choosing between this and the Samsung Galaxy S24, go with the S24 for better performance, a telephoto camera, and more storage. However, the Pixel 9 stands out with innovative AI features like Magic Lists and Reimagine. If those AI tools appeal to you, it's a great pick. For budget-conscious users focused on gaming and fast charging, consider alternatives like the OnePlus 12, Xiaomi 14, or iQOO 12.

Verdict
The Pixel 9 Pro XL feels like the new standout in the Pixel family. It nails the premium look - sleek design, sharp camera module, and a selfie camera that captures every detail, right down to skin texture and hair follicles. Plus, Google's signature AI magic is baked into the software, making the experience even smarter. But here's the catch - AI isn't just Google's thing anymore. Apple's got its own take with Apple Intelligence, and Samsung and OnePlus are hot on its heels. So, Pixel's exclusivity in AI is fading fast. Performance-wise, it doesn't lead the pack. If you need raw power, the Galaxy S24 Ultra might be your go-to. For photography, the Vivo X100 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra are solid alternatives, though each has trade-offs. That said, if you value a clean interface, reliable everyday use, and a killer selfie camera, the XL price tag could still feel worth it.

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.

Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus finally breaks free from its middle-child status, standing strong between the S25 and Ultra. It boasts a sleek design, chunkier camera rings, and an immersive display with ultra-thin bezels. Galaxy AI features make editing fun - erasing unwanted objects is effortless, though real life could use the same upgrade. Performance is solid, but thermal management needs work. The cameras remain unchanged but deliver better results, with minor inconsistencies that a software update can fix. For a premium experience without the Ultra price tag, this is a great pick. But if gaming is the priority, options like the Realme GT 7 Pro, iQOO 13, or OnePlus 13 might be better suited.
