Customers can select from a variety of smartphones in this price range, offering both distinctive designs and top-notch cameras.

But you can’t say that every smartphone is the best, can you? What are your possibilities if your budget is less than Rs 40,000 for a dependable higher mid-range smartphone?
We’ve put together a list of the top smartphones available in India in February for less than Rs 40,000. The OnePlus 10R, Google Pixel 6a, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, and Motorola Edge 30 Pro all on the list.
The OnePlus 10R
Anyone wishing to purchase a smartphone with a budget of around Rs 35,000 might consider the OnePlus 10R because its base model has a good build quality. But if you are truly thinking about purchasing the OnePlus 10R for yourself or a loved one, we strongly advise choosing the mid-range model of this phone because it makes the most sense.
The first thing you get is 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, which will be more than adequate for the majority of users. The MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX chip that powers the phone also ensures that performance-intensive operations will always run smoothly on it. Additionally, the OnePlus 10R has a sizable 5,000mAh battery inside.
Google Pixel 6a smartphones
In the sub-Rs 40,000 pricing range, the Google Pixel 6a likely has the greatest camera setup. The Pixel 6A’s camera system is actually so good that it can compete against any high-end flagship smartphone, and who knows? If we had a camera fight, the Pixel 6A might even come out on top! But that is a tale for another day. You may be confident that the Pixel 6A has superb photography skills for the time being. The Pixel 6a’s Tensor chip also makes sure that you get a flagship-caliber user experience without having to spend a premium price. Of course, stock Android 13 is a bonus here, and you also receive 4 years of security fixes in addition to 3 years of updates to the Android operating system
Redmi Note 12 Pro+
Anyone who has used a Redmi Note handset is familiar with its capabilities. Currently, Redmi Notes are renowned for offering premium hardware to users at a fair price. With the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, the business is playing an entirely different game at a pricing range it has never previously entered. That doesn’t change the truth, though, that you won’t be dissatisfied with the amount of money you’ll pay on Redmi’s most expensive model. The business is also introducing many firsts for the Redmi Note with the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, including up to 12GB of RAM and a 200MP primary rear camera with OIS. The phone has a sizable 5,000mAh battery as well.
Motorola Edge 30 Pro
The Motorola Edge 30 Pro, which was originally priced at Rs 49,999, is currently available for purchase on Flipkart only for Rs 34,999. And if you want a true flagship smartphone for the price of an upper mid-range gadget, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is a strong recommendation from our side. First off, the Edge 30 Pro has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip inside that provides quick and lag-free performance. In a range of lighting situations, the phone’s camera performs admirably, and its 4,800mAh battery supports 68W rapid charging. Additionally, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a 144Hz display that functions just as swiftly.
