Best phones to buy under Rs 60,000 in India

OnePlus 13

The OnePlus 13, the best phone from the company in the past couple of years, has received a price cut, and there’s no better time to buy it than now while the stocks last. The former OnePlus flagship is not just a good option but even better than its successor in more ways than one. Other than an IP68/IP69-rated ingress protection, you get a large 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO4 AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 4500 nits, 120 Hz variable refresh rate and compliance with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It is protected by a layer of Ceramic Guard glass.

The OnePlus 13 is powered by Qualcomm’s previous flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and you can now get its 12 GB RAM and 256 GB UFS 4.0 storage variant comfortably in this budget. A big 6000 mAh battery keeps the phone powered for close to two days of moderate use and supports 100W fast wired charging and 50W fast wireless charging. The phone now runs the latest OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16 with at least three major Android updates to follow.

It still has the best rear camera department found on any OnePlus phone, and its three 50MP units outperform even those on the OnePlus 15. The primary camera has a Sony LYT-808 sensor with OIS. The support cast includes a 50MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus that also doubles up as a macro camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS that provides 3X optical zoom. Unlike its successor, Hasselblad colour tuning and portrait tricks are available here, probably for the last time on a OnePlus phone. The 32MP front camera does a good job with selfies and video calls.

OnePlus 13s

If you prefer something more compact without compromising on processing power, and flagship-grade cameras are not a high priority for you, the OnePlus 13s would be a good fit. The phone feels great in hand and is fitted with a sharp 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 2640 x 1216 pixels and Crystal Shield Glass. The HDR10+ and Dolby Vision compliant screen supports 10-bit colour depth, 120 Hz refresh rate and 1600 nits peak brightness. The phone has IP65-rated ingress protection.

Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, you get 12 GB RAM and a choice of 256 GB or 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage. The phone now runs Android 16 with OxygenOS 16, and the company has promised 4 major Android updates and 6 years of security updates for this phone since its launch. Despite its compact size, it hosts a large 5850 mAh battery that lasts two days of moderate use. The bundled 80W fast charger can juice it up fully in about an hour.

The camera department on the OnePlus 13s is not its strongest suit but it is more than handy. You get two cameras at the back comprising a 50MP primary with OIS and a 50MP telephoto that offers a modest 2X optical zoom, which helps in portrait photography as well. A notable absentee here is an ultrawide camera that remains a questionable call on OnePlus’ part. You get a quality 32MP selfie camera up front with auto-focus. All cameras do their respective jobs reasonably well.

Vivo X200T

The Vivo X200T may feel like a rebadged X200 with minor improvements, but for its asking price, it remains a solid option courtesy of its impressive photography department and serious processing muscle. This phone is powered by Mediatek's previous flagship Dimensity 9400+ SoC with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB UFS 4.1 storage. You get a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ compliance, 5000 nits peak brightness and a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels.

The cameras on this phone have been designed in collaboration with Zeiss. You get three 50MP units at the back, with the primary camera hosting a Sony IMX921 sensor and OIS. An ultra-wide shooter with 119-degrees FOV and auto-focus, along with a telephoto camera with Sony IMX882 sensor and OIS that facilitates 3X optical zoom, complete the pack. They cover all the key bases including macro and portrait photography with impressive results.

The 32MP front camera is bound to appeal to the selfie enthusiasts. The phone’s 6200 mAh battery comfortably lasts two days of moderate use, and the bundled 90W fast charger promises to juice it up briskly. An IP69 rating protects it from dust and water ingression. The Vivo X200T runs Android 16 with the company’s Origin OS 6, with the company promising an impressive 5 major Android updates and 7 years of security updates for this device

Despite being slim, the phone is quite durable with an IP69-rated ingress protection. It is fitted with a 5200 mAh Silicon-Carbon battery that can last well over a day of moderate use and supports 90W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

The Motorola Signature boasts of a triple Sony LYTIA Pro-Grade camera system, starting with a 50MP main camera with Sony’s new LYTIA 828 sensor with high quality imaging and Dolby Vision video recording in 8K and 4K resolution up to 60 FPS and 3.5 degrees OIS.
