The 4500-nit figure is peak brightness on a small highlight area, not full-screen — a distinction manufacturers rely on you not making.

Motorola

₹27,999

125 W charging and a genuine 3x optical telephoto are both unusual at this price — most rivals crop from the main sensor and call it zoom.

Buy it if: Buyers who charge in short bursts and want OIS with a decent sensor under Rs25,000.

Avoid it if: Long-term owners — two Android upgrades at this price is poor.

Buy it if: Photographers who want real optical zoom, and anyone who charges in very short windows.

Avoid it if: Heavy users needing all-day battery — 4500 mAh is the smallest cell in this group.
