How this list is ranked

A weighted blend of the category scores: performance 20%, camera 20%, battery 18%, display 14%, software support 10%, charging 8%, durability 6%, video 2% and audio 2%. The weights follow what Indian buyers say matters most when choosing a phone (Counterpoint, CMR and Counterpoint–Flipkart surveys, 2025–26). A phone needs performance, camera and battery scores, plus at least 75% of the total weight, before it gets an overall score

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.
