India Best compact Smartphone
Pixel 10, samsung s25,s26,iphone 16,17
Hey,I'm 24 years old guy from India. I'm currently using moto g45 before that i used redmi 9a, so now you know what kind of smartphone user iam and I have never bought a new smartphones,all of them were used ones.
So now I'm thinking of getting a new one which is compact and has less bloateares and ads with the best camera for the price.
But I'm really confused which one to choose because we pay 75-85k just for smartphone which has 256 gb storage and also either they lack perfomance or something else,I know there is no perfect phones but we pay this much and should we adapt to phone ?
Heard that all these three brands has battery drain and heating issues.Or should I go with oppo reno 15pro mini it's 512 gb with 64k

Don't buy S26 & S25 they have bad battery. IPhone 16 has 60hz & no telephoto. IPhone 17 has no telephoto.

Almost perfect but not perfect. Like I said no telephoto. Buy Oppo Find X9. Oppo Reno 15 pro mini is overpriced by 34k.

I really like pixel phones but the service centre is ,200km away so will I regret buying a pixel ?how's the camera?

Not a good idea to buy a Pixel in India, they have very bad service.

And they are not a reliable company They are desperate and insecure. So they make very absurd choices and end up harming consumer interest.

if they're insecure they wouldn't leave the bootloader unlockable

When I say insecure, I mean they are not keeping consumers first but their market share.

iphone 17, or 17 pro if u can push the budget

Budget isn't the problem but are they worth?saw lots of post in reddit that 17 series are having lots of complaints like battery drain and all

u/Tapelessbus2122 Aug 06 '26
definitely worth it, the xiaomi 17 series is the one with battery drain, not the iphone 17 series, if anything the iphone 17 series is one of the most efficient phones on the market rn. even my base 17 gets 7-9 hours of SOT

Imo, try a Chinese like oppo, oneplus or xiaomi.
Yes, they are a little bigger and not come under compact size but they have good battery and overall better hardware and software is also decent.

I really like the design of vivo x300 and im also considering ip17 but not sure.find x 9 camera module looks wierd to me I think reno 15pro mini has better design but haven't seen any of them in person I'll check it out in offline

Go to offline market, if not there then go to big stores like Jio mart or vijay sales.
They do keep stock and may have pieces left.

Okay,will check in offline 😇may I ask which one do you use
