Frequently Asked Questions
Apple iPhone 17 scores highest overall in this comparison, with a spec score of 92/100. 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.
Apple iPhone 17 is the most affordable here, starting at ₹79,900. That is ₹45,099 less than the most expensive phone in this comparison.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 has the highest-resolution main camera at 50 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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 has the largest battery at 4300 mAh. It charges at up to 25W. Capacity is only part of endurance: chipset efficiency and screen refresh rate affect how long a charge actually lasts.
Apple iPhone 17 has the brightest display at 3000 nits peak, with a 120Hz refresh rate. Brightness matters most for outdoor readability; see the Display section below for panel type and resolution.
