Apple iPhone 16
The iPhone 17 series is just around the corner, but the iPhone 16 (review) is still a good choice for those looking to buy an Apple device. Launched last year, the iPhone 16 is powered by the A18 chipset and comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen.
The compact IP68-rated phone runs on iOS 18 and packs in a dual camera setup that consists of a 48MP primary shooter in addition to a 12MP ultrawide lens. You also get the new Action button alongside the capacitive camera button, which quickly lets you open the camera and shoot photos. If you are looking for a compact Apple phone with flagship cameras and performance, the iPhone 16 is still a good buy for Rs 69,999.

Google Pixel 9 Pro
Google has announced that it will be launching the Pixel 10 series on August 20, which is why the Pixel 9 series devices may be available at a discounted price in this sale. The Pixel 9 Pro, which was launched with a price tag of Rs 1,09,999, is currently available for as low as Rs 89,999 without bank offers.
To give you a quick recap, the Pixel 9 Pro is Google’s flagship compact phone. The device sports a 120Hz 6.3-inch LTPO OLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. On the back, you get Google’s iconic elliptical-shaped camera island that houses a 50MP main shooter, a 48MP ultrawide lens and another 48MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom.
The device runs on stock Android 14 out of the box, but you get seven years of OS updates and security patches, which means it will be updated till Android 21. All of this is backed by a 4,700mAh battery that supports 27W wired and 12W wireless charging. Powered by the Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel 9 Pro isn’t the fastest phone in its segment, but considering the cameras and discount, the base variant of the phone, which comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage, is definitely worth the price.

It has a large 120Hz 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The back of the phone has a minimalistic-looking camera setup, which consists of a 50MP primary shooter, a 12MP ultrawide sensor and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
And while the device came with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14, like the much more expensive Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is promising seven years of OS updates and security patches. If you are looking for a Samsung phone that will easily last for years to come, the Galaxy S24 FE is an easy recommendation for Rs 35,999.
