Final Results: Which Is Better to Purchase?


The iQOO Z9 5G is the best all-arounder under ₹20,000 if performance is your top concern. Choose the Motorola G73 5G for a streamlined user interface. Have a limited budget? The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G has a long battery life.


My Top Pick : The iQOO Z9 5G is my top choice because it's the best for long-term use, gaming, and cameras.


In my view : I love it when phones offer more for less because I'm a tech reviewer. These days, this market is crowded with 5G phones, powerful chipsets, and screens with high refresh rates. In 2025, a good mobile phone doesn't have to cost ₹30,000. Simply decide whether battery life, performance, or camera is more important to you.
