iQOO 9 Pro 5G smartphone priced at Rs 64,900
iQOO is the latest Chinese brand to enter the premium segment in the Indian market, and the iQOO 9 Pro 5G raises a lot of eyebrows with its mouth-watering price tag of Rs 64,900.
As for the price, the iQOO 9 Pro 5G offers the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset along with 8GB/12GB of RAM.

It’s got the design to match its ambitions, and even the ability to see on the imaging front.
At the back, it has a 50-megapixel sensor with gimbal system, a 50-megapixel fisheye wide-angle sensor, and a 16-megapixel telephoto sensor. The phone flaunts a 2K AMOLED display that offers 300Hz touch sampling rate. When you compare these figures with what the iPhone 13 has to offer, the tier is different but the question is whether people will spend Rs 60+ on an iPhone or an iQOO phone.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra smartphone priced at Rs 69,999
If you thought that the iQOO phone is expensive, then you can say that the Mi 11 Ultra is even more expensive. And when you browse through the features, you probably get the point of its price. The Mi 11 Ultra sports a quad-curved AMOLED display that supports quad HD+ resolution with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate.
The screen gets Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Xiaomi has used ceramics to make this device, which brings the premium quotient to the table. Under the hood, the Mi 11 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. For optics, the Mi 11 Ultra packs a 50-megapixel wide-angle sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor.

You get the phone with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage option. The Galaxy S22 is tipped to pack a 50-megapixel wide sensor with OIS, a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor. Its speakers are tuned by AKG and the 3700mAh battery supports 25W fast charging, which is only faster than what you’d get with the iPhone 13 in this price range.
