The Nothing Phone (3) is a capable smartphone that feels held back by its pricing and out-of-the-box design. While it gets a lot right - clean software, good battery life, great display - it simply doesn`t offer the kind of performance or camera prowess you`d expect at Rs 79,999. It`s a good phone, but one that would`ve made more sense in a more affordable price bracket.

The Samsung Galaxy M36 feels like an incremental update. The design has improved, the camera now gets OIS, and software support is longer but there are niggles. The battery is smaller, and there is no real gain in performance or charging speed. If your priorities are good cameras, long-term software, and a great media experience, the device is worth considering.

The Vivo X Fold5 may not be the most powerful foldable or the absolute best in every category, but for its price, it offers a well-rounded package that balances premium design, productivity-oriented features, and capable hardware. It stands out in areas like multitasking, battery life, and display quality, while additions like the Origin Workbench and practical AI tools further elevate its appeal.

The POCO F7 offers nearly all the bells and whistles that a performance-focused user could expect from a mid-range smartphone. The handset boasts a powerful chipset that handles demanding tasks with ease, complemented by a generous battery and long-lasting software support. The display is vibrant and immersive, while the smart AI features boost usability. That said, the daylight camera performance leaves room for improvement, and the absence of an LTPO panel might push some buyers to look elsewhere.

The OPPO K13x offers a clean design with an IP65 rating, a good mix of features and a performance that is steady for daily use, though rivals do better in stress tests. Its HD+ display and 50MP camera are serviceable, with some trade-offs in detail and dynamic range. ColorOS is feature-rich but cluttered. Despite compromises, it`s a decent pick for those seeking a sleek budget 5G phone with balanced everyday performance.
