This segment has proven over the years that a good smartphone doesn't have to have the fastest processor or the latest technology available anywhere in the world. It's all about value for money. The latest Nothing Phone (1) is a prime example. However, from the recently launched Google Pixel 6a to the Oppo Reno 8, here are some of the best mid-range options for you to consider.

Nothing phone 1

Nothing does a lot of things right with the new smartphone Nothing Phone 1. However, it offers an older Snapdragon 778+ chipset and 33W charging. This is a time when many other brands offer 80-120W charging support at this price point. Still, at Rs. 32,999, it has a unique GLYMPH design on the transparent back. It also has dual 50-megapixel rear-facing cameras and a 6.5-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display.

Additionally, if you're an Apple fan and want an iPhone experience without emptying your pockets, the iPhone SE 3 for Rs.43,900 is the way to go.

Redmi K50i 5G

Redmi K50i offered MediaTek Dimensity 8100 for just Rs. 25,999! It's worth noting that the same processor can be seen in many mid to high-range smartphones such as his Realme GT Neo 3 and Reno 8 Pro, Redmi K50i is powered by a large 5080mAh battery with a 67W fast charging option. It is one of the meat mid-range options for gaming.

It has a 32 MP front camera for selfies. It is priced at Rs 29,999 for 128 GB of storage and comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset and a 4500 mAh battery.
