Motorola

Motorola G85 5G (Cobalt Blue, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

₹17,999

The lightest phone in this group at 171 g, with a curved pOLED panel and near-stock Android that runs cleanly.

Samsung

₹16,999

The outlier in this price band, and not for its performance.

Buy it if: Buyers who prioritise weight, clean software and in-hand feel over long-term support.

Avoid it if: Anyone keeping the phone beyond two years, or who will use it in monsoon conditions.

Buy it if: Anyone who keeps a phone four years or longer. Nothing else near this price supports that.

Avoid it if: Buyers who want the fastest chip at the price — the Exynos 1380 is not it.
