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.
