While Vivo dominates the high-end, the Indian mid-range market saw two major launches this week that offer “flagship-grade” features at half the price.
Oppo F33 5G: The 7000mAh Endurance King
Launched on April 15, the Oppo F33 Pro 5G (₹40,999) and the standard Oppo F33 (₹31,999) are designed for users who never want to carry a charger. Both models feature a massive 7,000mAh battery squeezed into a chassis with an IP69K rating—meaning it can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. The Pro model stands out with its 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera, specifically designed for high-quality group vlogging.
Infinix Note 60 Pro: The “Active Matrix” Innovator
Infinix has officially disrupted the ₹30k segment with the Note 60 Pro, its first-ever device to feature a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. However, the real talking point is the “Active Matrix Display” on the back. Much like the Nothing Phone’s Glyph interface, this rear panel uses 288 customizable LEDs to show notifications, battery status, and even play “mini-games” directly on the back of the phone. With 90W wired and 30W wireless charging, it is one of the most feature-complete phones in its price bracket.
