How this list is ranked

How the overall score compares with what is typical at the phone's price. We fit overall score against the logarithm of price across all ranked phones. A phone exactly on that line scores 50; every overall point above or below it adds or removes 2.5, capped at 0 and 100. A value score is given only when at least 3 other ranked phones cost between two-thirds and one-and-a-half times as much, so the line is never stretched far from real comparisons

The price line is fitted to the phones in our catalogue, so it moves a little as phones are added.

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.
