How this list is ranked
Protection against water, dust and scratches: water resistance (60%, required), cover glass generation (20%, when published), metal frame (20%).
Does not include drop tests.
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.
