iPhone 17
For those who don’t want to pay Android flagship prices, the iPhone 17 sits as an obvious alternative. It’s priced at Rs 82,999, which is a fair jump above the OnePlus 15, but people who already live inside the Apple ecosystem might still prefer it. The A19 chip takes care of performance, while the 48MP + 48MP camera duo covers main and ultrawide shots. It’s not class-leading zoom, but if you just want solid pictures and stable video, it gets the job done.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus
Samsung’s S25 range brings two size options. The compact iPhone-sized S25 comes at Rs 63,650 with a 6.2-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, a small 4,000mAh battery, and 25W charging-perfect if you want a light phone for casual use. The bigger S25 Plus comes with a 6.7-inch screen and a 4,900mAh battery, priced at Rs 74,999. Both run Snapdragon 8 Elite and carry a 50MP + 10MP + 12MP rear camera stack for everyday photos.
Google Pixel 10
Pixel 10 goes a different route with the Tensor G5 chip powering it. The camera system includes 48MP + 10MP + 13MP rear sensors and 5x optical zoom support, which is pretty much what Pixel users expect. It runs Android 16 and costs Rs 79,999, landing between the OnePlus 15 and the iPhone 17 in pricing.

The Xiaomi 15 stays true to its brand of offering heavy specs at a safer price. It brings 50MP X 3 cameras at the back, a 6.36-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 5,240mAh battery, 5G support, and SGS Drop Resistance. At Rs 64,999, it’s one of the better-balanced buys in this list if budget-to-performance ratio matters to you.
Oppo Find X9
Find X9 comes at Rs 74,999, powered by Dimensity 9500. It packs a 7,025mAh battery with 80W charging support. On the back, you get 50MP main + 50MP periscope telephoto + 50MP ultrawide, while selfies rely on the 32MP front camera.
Realme GT 8 Pro
Realme GT 8 Pro comes at Rs 72,999, and this is where the phone brings something unexpected. It gets a RICOH GR Camera System with 200MP telephoto + 50MP wide + 50MP ultrawide sensors. It also runs Snapdragon 8 Elite.
