Best looking phones launched in 2022 in India

In 2022, smartphone companies were primarily focused on offering top-of-the-range 5G devices. It's the first thing that attracts a lot of consumers, and if it doesn't work out, it's a big loss, so it felt like OEMs had stopped experimenting with designs to play it safe. We've seen very few major smartphone design innovations in the industry as we entered the race to offer ultra-fast phones at affordable price points. No (except for some phones).

Does this mean innovation is dead? Hmm, no. Thousands of 5G phones were launched in 2022, but only some of them have a unique design, making it difficult for anyone to avoid. Let's take a look at some of the most beautiful phones of 2022.

Nothing Phone 1

With Nothing Phone 1, founder Karl Pei reminded everyone that innovation in smartphone design isn't over yet. The most unique mobile phone of the year with a design that everyone is talking about. It has a translucent back panel design with mechanical elements and LED strips, which is pretty cool. What's more interesting? You have the option to customize sound and light themes for various smartphone features. Those who keep an eye on mobile phones will tell you that the Nothing Phone 1 is one of the best looking phones of 2022 for its uniqueness alone.

Nothing offers this unique design and good specs at a fairly reasonable price, making the packaging even more appealing to consumers. I would also like to mention that the camera performance was much better than some phones in the Rs 30,000 segment.

Nothing phone 1 price in India starts from Rs 27499.

Vivo V25 Pro

In 2022, Vivo another brand looking to offer buyers something unique in the design department announced the smartphone "Vivo V25 Pro" with a colour-changing back cover. It's crazy! Well, when exposed to sunlight, the colour of the back changes to a different shade, which is cool. So when you're out in the sun, you can actually trick someone by showing that you've bought a new phone. The device is also pretty sleek and slim. The lightweight design of the smartphone makes it very easy to operate with one hand. The Vivo V25 Pro has almost no bezels around the display and a very thin chin, naturally offering more screen real estate and a better experience when viewing content on the AMOLED panel.

Vivo V25 Pro price in India starts at Rs 35999.

Google Pixel 7 series

The Google Pixel 7 series and along with its predecessors also offered unique designs. Yes, nothing revolutionary, but the design is so classy that many want to buy it after seeing it. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro have a glossy glass back and gold stainless Combined with a steel frame, it creates a sense of luxury. Google launched them in classic black and white colours that make the phone look elegant. The Pro model also comes in a gorgeous unique and subtle green colour.

The Pixel 6a gets a similar design. The Pixel 7 series are flagships, but it's good that Google offers them on the lower end as well. However, the Pixel 6a has a polycarbonate back panel instead of the glass back panel found on more expensive models.

Google Pixel 7 price in India starts from Rs 59999.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is one of the most luxurious mobile phones I've ever purchased. It has the best of all. Don't forget that this device comes with a cool stylus that most Android phones on the market do not come with. There is no camera module on the back, the cameras are flushed with the back panel to provide a clean look. The phablet-like design combined with the AMOLED display made consuming content very enjoyable.

The materials used in the phone are also top notch and the design is highly practical. Even with the extremely large size of the phone, you don’t feel the pointed corners hurting your hand.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra price in India starts from Rs 109999.

Realme GT 2 Pro

The Realme GT 2 Pro is another phone that seems to get a lot of attention. It has a unique textured back that closely resembles a white canvas. The company says the design is paper-inspired, which might sound strange, but it really is. You can draw everything on the back side with a pencil and scrape off the sketch with an eraser. It's actually pretty cool. The back has a matte finish for excellent grip. It came in a white colour and looked very elegant.

In 2022, Realme is one of the brands looking to offer new designs on most of their phones, as opposed to some companies that were churning out devices with basic gradient colours and typical back designs.

Realme GT 2 Pro price in India starts from Rs 49999.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro/ 14 Pro Max

Now the iPhones were never the best looking phones, but they were never bad. The new design language that started with iPhone 12 series, has matured. The iPhone 14 Pro is built with the best materials on any smartphone. The finish is the phone is top notch (pun intended).

Though the weight of the smartphone is a little more than its competitors, it gives a quality feel to the phone.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro price in India starts from Rs 129900.
