The iQOO Neo 10 testifies that iQOO is moving beyond just being a gaming-focused brand. While its core strength still lies in raw performance thanks to the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, it also offers capable cameras, solid battery life, and a noticeably improved user interface. That said, iQOO still needs to reduce the number of native apps pre-installed. I would have also appreciated a few more colour options.

The Galaxy S25 Edge, though positioned between the S25 Plus and Ultra, successfully sets itself apart and stands out by appealing to users who want a slim design without compromising on performance or premium features. It offers solid battery life, and Samsung`s optimisation is evident. However, its slower charging and lack of a telephoto lens may deter some buyers.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro may not be the most powerful smartphone in its price range, but it distinguishes itself from the competition with its unique design, custom accessories, and versatile triple-camera setup. The inclusion of a telescopic lens allows for generally impressive photography results. While the phone delivers solid performance and strong battery life, it may not be the ideal choice if peak benchmark scores are your main priority.

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is an impressive upgrade over its predecessor, with better performance, a sleek design, and good cameras. Its impressive battery life and IP69 rating make it a reliable option, especially under 30K. While the lack of expandable storage and a few pre-installed apps are minor drawbacks, it is still one of the best choices in this price range.

The iQOO Z10x brings a handful of thoughtful upgrades over its predecessor, making it a solid choice for users seeking a balanced, reliable smartphone. It handles mild gaming and moderate multitasking quite well, offering decent cameras and good battery life. I was also pleasantly surprised by its stable 5G connectivity for the price. That said, there`s room for improvement in areas like charging speed and overall software experience.

The iQOO Z10 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Chipset paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The device's RAM management is impressive, and so was its overall performance.

The Vivo V50e is the most affordable handset from their V50 series and yet promises to offer a lot of premiumness and competent photography performance.

The Edge 60 Stylus stands out as one of the best choices for productivity users in the sub-Rs 25K segment. Whether it is AI, display quality or cameras, Motorola`s latest offering covers all the essentials. What truly sets this apart is the bundled stylus, a feature previously seen only on Samsung`s `Ultra` smartphones. While the implementation is not flawless, Motorola has raised the bar by making stylus support accessible at this price point.
