Not ranked: not enough data

These phones match, but too many of the formula's inputs are unknown to score them fairly: Lava Blaze Duo 3, Lava Virat V1, Redmi 17 5G, Samsung Galaxy F70 5G.

How this list is ranked

Screen hardware: peak brightness (25%), oled/amoled panel (20%, required), display refresh rate (20%, required), pixel density (10%), ltpo variable refresh display (10%), pwm dimming frequency (10%, when published), panel colour depth (5%, when published).

Uses maker-stated peak brightness, which brands measure in different ways.

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.
