Hey everyone! These four popular smartphones around the ₹40,000 price range. I thought I have do a detailed comparison to help you choose the best one. This is not a ranking, but rather a simplification of each phone's pros and cons. By the end of this article, you will have a clear idea of which phone might be the best fit for you.
IQOO NEO 9 Pro
Starting with the IQOO Neo 9 Pro, it is a fantastic performer for its price. When compared with the other three phones, its performance offers great value for money. It boasts the highest AnTuTu scores, even showing a 400-point lead in multi-core scores. This is not just in benchmarks; I tested all the phones with games like COD, and the IQOO Neo 9 Pro maintained the highest average FPS of 104. It also managed heat well, staying around 40°C, while others ranged between 40-43°C. Even in heavy games like Genshin Impact, all phones performed similarly, but the IQOO Neo 9 Pro still stood out for its consistent performance and comes with UFS 4.1.
Another strong point is the consistent camera quality. Regardless of lighting conditions, you can expect good results. The dynamic range and handling of both dark and bright areas are impressive. The display is another highlight, featuring a high refresh rate and LTPO panel, making for an excellent viewing experience.
Realme GT 6
Realme GT 6 Priced around ₹39,000 for the 256GB variant, the Realme GT 6 is a well-rounded option. It has a practical design, with a comfortable in-hand feel, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, and IP54 rating. The speakers and haptic feedback are among the best. Despite its 5500mAh battery, the phone remains comfortable to hold and supports 120W charging, making it very practical and comes with UFS 4.1.
The software experience is smooth, with minimal bloatware. It has the second-highest AnTuTu score among the phones compared, and it performed well in practical tests, maintaining 100 FPS in games like COD and 58 FPS Genshin Impact. However, its camera is not as strong as the IQOO Neo 9 Pro and the display could be brighter, especially outdoors.
OnePlus 12R
Initially, I was not impressed with the OnePlus 12R, but it has grown on me. Its design is premium, with a metal frame and glass back, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and IP64 rating. The speakers and haptic feedback are top-notch. If brand value is important to you, this phone delivers. NFC and IR blaster Support & 5500 mAH battery Capacity comes with UFS 3.1 storage
Performance-wise, it may not have the highest specs or AnTuTu scores, but it excels in real-world performance, particularly in gaming. It maintained the best FPS in games like COD and Genshin Impact. The main downside is its weaker camera compared to others.
Xiaomi 14 CIVI
Xiaomi 14 CIVI latest offering stands out for its camera quality. It has the best detail capture among the four phones, even with a 12MP ultra-wide camera. The low-light performance is also impressive, providing realistic colors. However, its battery life is the shortest, which could be a drawback.
The software experience is decent, and despite being a slim phone, it handles performance well, particularly in gaming. However, the battery backup is the weakest.
Conclusion
So, that is quick summary and simplification of these four phones. I hope this helps you decide which one suits your priorities best.
