iQOO Z6 Lite 5G — ₹ 13,999

The iQOO Z6 Lite 5G shares many specifications with the Redmi Note 12. It gets its power from the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC, a 120Hz refresh rate IPS LCD panel and a dual-camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor at the rear. And a 5,000 mAh battery with fast charging support. Other features of the smartphone include an 8 MP selfie camera sensor. Given that both the phones are almost identical in terms of specifications and pricing, we’ll have to wait for the Redmi Note 12 to make its impact.

Realme Narzo 50 — ₹ 11,499

Realme Narzo 50 is a powerful smartphone in its price segment. It comes with a good camera setup and amazing battery life. It uses a MediaTek Helio G96 SoC optimized for gaming. Other highlights of this smartphone include a 50MP triple camera at the back, a 16MP selfie camera setup, a screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W Dart Charging technology. What’s surprising is that this device seems relatively more affordable. This smartphone seems to have a better camera setup with a dedicated macro sensor and costs less than the Redmi.

Moto G52 — ₹ 12,999

Another smartphone in this price segment is the Moto G52. It has carved a niche for itself with a 90Hz POLED display, clean software and a 5,000 mAh battery with good battery life. There are stereo speakers, Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC and a 50MP main camera sensor at the back. In terms of comparison, a Motorola smartphone with a clean UI will definitely be superior when compared to Redmi’s offering, which will have its fair share of bloatware.

Samsung Galaxy M13 — 9,499 rubles

Samsung Galaxy M13 is another good mention here. It uses an Exynos 850 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM. It has a 6.6-inch LCD panel and runs the Android operating system with the company’s OneUI custom skin. On the back is a triple-camera 50MP primary sensor and a massive 6,000mAh battery with fast charging. Although this Samsung phone is a little outdated, it still has its fans thanks to its huge battery, but it lacks 5G support.
