How this list is ranked

Chip speed from published benchmarks: chip geekbench 6 multi-core (35%, required), chip geekbench 6 single-core (30%, required), chip gpu, 3dmark wild life extreme (25%), maximum ram (10%).

Benchmarks are per chipset (typical published results), not measured on each phone; cooling can change sustained speed.

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.
