With the Flipkart Big Billion Day sale just around the corner, the month of September will be one of the best times to buy a new smartphone. If you are looking to buy a new phone under Rs 40,000, here are some of the best deals to look out for.
Launched a few months ago, the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is a mid-range phone that offers IP68 protection in a slim package.
The phone has a 6.7-inch pOLED screen with 144Hz refresh rate and is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, which can easily handle whatever you throw at it. It has a dual camera setup that consists of a 50MP primary shooter and a 13MP ultrawide lens.
Running on Android 14 out of the box, Motorola has 3 years of Android updates, but the company’s past update track record might be a bummer for those looking to buy a phone that will stay updated in the coming years.
Still, the Edge 50 Fusion is a great choice for those who want a premium looking phone with clean software under Rs 20,000.
Aimed at those who want the best bang for buck, the Poco F6 (review) is one of the best mid-range phones launched this year.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which is a bit slower than Qualcomm’s last year flagship 8 Gen 2, the Poco F6 has a solid plastic build.
Running on HyperOS based on Android 14 out of the box, the phone has a great AMOLED screen accompanied by a dual camera setup that takes good photos both during day and night time.
If you are on a tight budget and are looking to buy a good phone under Rs 25,000 that can run the lastest games, offers a clean software experience and is lightweight, the Poco F6 is an easy recommendation. It will be available for as low as Rs 21,999 with bank offers.
Flipkart recently revealed that the Google Pixel 8 (review), the company’s 2023 compact flagship phone will be available at a maximum price of Rs 39,999.
Featuring the Tensor G3 chipset, the Pixel 8 has a 6.2-inch OLED screen, making it one of the best phones for those looking for a small phone.
The IP-68 rated phone may not be not the fastest in terms of hardware, but it definitely makes it with its impressive 50MP primary sensor and 12MP ultrawide sensor setup.
The flagship grade camera experience combined with Google’s promise of 7 years of Android updates makes it one of the best phones for those who are looking to buy a long lasting phone with great cameras packed in a compact form factor.
Samsung’s compact flagship from 2023 – the Galaxy S23 will be available under the Rs 40,000 price bracket in the coming days.
Featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the Samsung Galaxy S23 has a 6.1-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen. On the back, you get a 50MP primary sensor alongside a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a 12MP ultrawide lens that takes great photos in any lighting conditions.
Weighing just 168 grams, the Galaxy S23 packs a 3,900mAh battery and runs on Android 13 out of the box. While this deal may sound like too good to be true, the smaller battery might be a deal breaker for heavy users.
