4. Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus

It is the latest premium Mid-Range Smartphone from Redmi. The Phone’s highlight is that you can get a 200 Mp camera for under 30000. Even it has the fastest charger in this smartphone.

Let’s dive deep into a detailed Overview.

Design: Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus has a glass body at the back side of the Phone.

The other 2 cameras are just below average. If you can capture the best Photos in 200Mp, why would someone use other small cameras?

5. Nothing Phone 1

Nothing Phone 1 was launched last year in 2022. It felt a little costlier, but today you can get this around 26,000 to 28000. And in this price range, I think this is a value-for-money smartphone.

Let’s check out some more details. 

Design: The Nothing Phone (1) has a unique design with a semi-transparent rear with exciting features like a wireless charging coil, screws, and LED notification lights. It looks great in white and stealthy in black, but the side bezels are thicker than other phones. It is also rated IP52, which is not the best you get.

The Glyph Interface is a unique feature that uses lights for notifications and can be helpful for phone calls. The lights also indicate the charging status and when Google Assistant is triggered.

Display: Nothing Phone 1  has 6.55 Inch OLED with 120Hz, which supports HDR 10+. The Display is protected with the tough glass of Corning  Gorilla Glass 5. The Display supports up to 700 nits of brightness, which also works great outdoors. 

Camera: The Phone has a dual camera setup of 50Mp + 50Mp. Overall the camera performs well. The ultra-wide camera also captures decent pictures but is not as good as the primary one. The Camera app is also simple and inspired by the iOS app. Some amazing shooting modes include Time Lapse, Panorama, and Expert.

In the Front, a 16 Mp camera works decently as long as there’s enough light. But, In low light, photos are not good.

Battery: Nothing phone comes with a 4500 mAh battery which you can recharge using 33-watt fast charging. Interestingly Phone also supports 15-watt wireless charging and 5-watt reverse wireless charging.

Performance: Nothing phone comes with Snapdragon 778G+ 5G Processor, which is Snapdragon’s go-to processor in this price range.

Earlier, I mentioned that all the phones I mentioned had at least a Snapdragon 870. Although, I have mentioned this Phone 1 because I don’t think everyone needs a performance-centric phone. This processor is capable of playing normal gamings doing other tasks.
