Yes, if: You prioritize general utility, core performance, and daily reliability, and are looking for a device that delivers strong Camera Quality (91/100) in the ₹29,999 price bracket.
Avoid if: You cannot compromise on enthusiast-level features. This device scores lowest in our diagnostic testing for Gaming Performance (83/100).
Yes. As a current-gen device launched in 2025, its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and modern features remain highly future-proof and competitive in 2026.
If you are upgrading from an older device (launched 2+ years ago, or scoring below 73 overall), this will feel like a substantial leap in screen brightness, camera response, and modern 5G network performance. However, if you already own the direct predecessor, upgrading is not recommended unless you need to replace a damaged phone.
