Time to look at the best smartphones you can buy in this budget at the moment.

Best phones to buy under Rs 75,000 in India

Apple iPhone 12

Since the launch of the iPhone 13, the price of the Apple iPhone 12 has seen a drop. While the mid variant with 128 GB storage breached the 70K mark last quarter, it is closer to 65K this time around on Flipkart. The phone is just the right size for single handed operations. You get a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that is compliant with HDR10 and Dolby Vision. A ceramic glass with oleophobic coating protects it against scratches and smudges.

It is powered by Apple’s previous flagship A14 Bionic chip that is still powerful enough for every task, and should be good enough for a few years to come. Camera department consists of two 12MP cameras at the back with the primary lens offering OIS (optical image stabilisation), while the secondary capturing ultra-wide shots. The performance in photography and videography is top notch in different lighting conditions, as you have come to expect from iPhones. The Apple iPhone 12 launched with iOS 14, and is upgradeable to iOS 15.

Apple iPhone 13 Mini

The iPhone 12 is not the only Apple phone in this list. You can purchase the smallest of the latest Apple iPhones comfortably in this budget. Just like its predecessor, the Apple iPhone 13 Mini is refreshingly compact, and one of the smallest smartphones around. And it’s not just about the small size, but the availability of a proper flagship device in this form factor without skipping any key feature is what makes it special. It is great to have that choice for those who care when smartphones are getting larger by the year.

The Apple iPhone 13 Mini is pretty much the iPhone 13 in terms of design, processing power and most of the features, just smaller. It has a sharper 5.4-inch Full HD+ Super Retina XDR OLED screen, again compliant with HDR10 and Dolby Vision. At its core is the latest A15 Bionic chip that powers the entire iPhone 13 series. The two 12MP cameras at the back are similar to those found on the iPhone 12 with just a different alignment. The output quality is at least as good, or maybe marginally better due to the updated software. Speaking of which, it runs the latest iOS 15 out of the box, and one can expect newer OS updates for another half a decade.
