Smartphone news, launches and comparisons in India.

Choosing a phone in India comes down to a handful of decisions the spec sheet does not help with. The biggest one is storage, because it is the only thing you cannot change later — our guide to 128GB versus 256GB works through how much you actually need, and why WhatsApp matters more than your photo library.

If you are deciding whether to stretch your budget, what ₹10,000 more actually buys you is the honest answer. The display is usually where that money shows first, which is covered in AMOLED versus LCD in a budget phone.

And if you are wondering whether 5G is worth paying for yet, we looked at what has actually changed in India rather than what the advertising claims.
