    Battery health misconception

    Full discharge is harmful: Modern lithium-ion batteries last longer when kept between 20% and 80%. Regularly draining to 0% accelerates battery wear.

    Overall Summary

    Choosing a new smartphone involves navigating budget, mid-range, and flagship models from brands like Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus. The key differences often lie in camera quality, battery life, and processor speed. Budget phones under ₹15,000 offer great value, while flagships over ₹50,000 provide the absolute best performance and photography. We review the latest models to help you decide.
