Phones and devices with 5G support on Indian networks.
Smartphones
The Apple iPhone 18 Pro has one of the most capable camera systems and the fastest chip in any phone, but battery gains are modest and its Indian launch price rose sharply over the iPhone 17 Pro.
Smartphones
The OnePlus Nord 6 is the strongest all-rounder in the mid-range, pairing a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with a 9,000 mAh battery and four years of Android updates, though its two-camera setup has no zoom lens.

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro is a well-rounded mid-range phone with a fast Dimensity 8500, a bright curved AMOLED, a 90 W charger in the box and IP68/IP69, held back by no telephoto and shorter update support.
Smartphones
The Nothing Phone (4a) is the mid-range pick for buyers who want a 3.5x periscope zoom, a bright 120 Hz AMOLED and clutter-free software, provided they can live without NFC and a charger in the box.
Smartphones
The Vivo T5x 5G is a sensible budget pick for heavy users, pairing a 7,200 mAh battery that reviewers say lasts two days with IP68/IP69 protection, though its LCD and camera are only average.
Smartphones
The Google Pixel 11 has an excellent camera with a 5x telephoto and seven years of updates, but reviewers report overheating and stutter, and its price and India service network are hard to justify.
