How this list is ranked

Expected battery life from specifications: battery capacity (60%, required), battery capacity per inch of screen (20%), chip manufacturing process (10%), ltpo variable refresh display (10%).

Estimated from specifications, not from a battery rundown test. Real endurance also depends on software tuning.

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. Full methodology.
