The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE nails most essentials for 59,999, offering a vivid display, rich stereo sound, and clean, snappy software in a sleek design. It handles daily tasks well but warms up under heavier loads. Daylight photos shine with detail, though low-light shots lose clarity. While close to a flagship feel, rivals like the Vivo X200 FE and Realme GT 7 Pro provide better value. A price drop could change the equation, making Samsungs latest FE a more compelling buy.

Nothing Phone 3

I was impressed with almost everything about the Nothing Phone (3) until I saw its price, which honestly felt hard to justify given the chipset inside is found in phones around Rs 40,000. That said, it still offers a solid triple-camera setup, a big battery, a striking design, and a great display. At its current price of Rs 44,600 on Amazon, it feels far more reasonable and worth considering if you have been eyeing it. (Read Less)
