Not ranked: not enough data

These phones match, but too many of the formula's inputs are unknown to score them fairly: Ai+ Nova 2 Ultra, Lava Blaze Duo 3, Lava Virat Curve 5G, Lava Virat V1, Oppo F33 Pro, Oppo F33 5G, Oppo F35 Pro 5G, Oppo Reno15 c, Redmi 17 5G, Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G, Vivo S2, Vivo V70 Elite.

How this list is ranked

Rear-camera hardware: main camera sensor size (40%, required), optical image stabilisation on main camera (15%), longest optical zoom (15%), telephoto sensor size (15%), ultrawide camera resolution (15%).

This is a hardware score built from specifications. It does not measure actual photo quality, which also depends on image processing.

Ranked phones are on sale in India and had their first India sale in 2026; the 2025 models have their own lists. Prices are the cheapest variant's current official price, or its launch price where no current price is confirmed. A phone qualifies for "under ₹X" when that price is ₹X or less. Scores use fixed, published scales (formula version 2.6), so a phone's score is the same on every list; on budget lists the budget score shows where it sits among phones at that price. Full methodology.
