Frequently Asked Questions
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 scores highest overall in this comparison, with a spec score of 87/100. 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.
Samsung Galaxy M47 5G is the most affordable here, starting at ₹17,999. That is ₹162,000 less than the most expensive phone in this comparison.
Samsung Galaxy M47 5G has the largest battery at 6000 mAh. It charges at up to 45W. Capacity is only part of endurance: chipset efficiency and screen refresh rate affect how long a charge actually lasts.
Nothing Phone (3a) is the fastest on paper, topping the AnTuTu benchmark at 780,000. Benchmarks measure short bursts, so a phone with better sustained thermals can still feel quicker in long gaming sessions.
