The spec score weighs performance, display, camera, battery and value together, so treat it as a starting point rather than a verdict — the right phone still depends on which of those you care about most.

Nothing Phone (3a) is the most affordable here, starting at ₹24,999. That is ₹175,000 less than the most expensive phone in this comparison.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has the highest-resolution main camera at 200 MP. Resolution alone does not decide photo quality — sensor size, aperture and image processing matter more — so compare the full camera specs below rather than the megapixel count on its own.

Vivo V50 has the largest battery at 6000 mAh. It charges at up to 90W. Capacity is only part of endurance: chipset efficiency and screen refresh rate affect how long a charge actually lasts.

Apple iPhone 17 is the fastest on paper, topping the AnTuTu benchmark at 2,109,750. Benchmarks measure short bursts, so a phone with better sustained thermals can still feel quicker in long gaming sessions.
