Here’s a curated list of the best flagship phones to buy in India this December, including the Vivo X200 Pro 5G and three other devices.
Vivo X200 Pro 5G
We’re starting off with a brand new entry on our list, the Vivo X200 Pro 5G. The company’s latest and greatest offers excellent value for money, offering a premium experience and impressive performance that’s just Rs 5,000 more than the base 128GB variant of the iPhone 16 Plus. Key features of the phone include a gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED display, which is now flat, with only subtle curves around the edges that add to the aesthetics. The phone comes in two beautiful finishes, it has a Dimensity 9400 SoC under the hood, it has a massive 6,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support and the best part is that it comes in a single 16GB RAM plus 512GB storage, thus Confusion can be avoided as to which variant to ultimately choose. Of course, the highlight of the X200 Pro is its camera, and the phone takes excellent photos and videos in a variety of lighting conditions. The phone’s 200MP periscope lens is also a standout, taking some attractive photos with a good balance of dynamic range and detail.
iPhone 16
The next standard is the iPhone 16 series, which includes the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Both the smartphones are powered by Apple’s 3nm A18 chip, making it ideal for running any demanding tasks on the phone. In fact, this year, the standard iPhone 16 supports AAA games, just like the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro phones. Additionally, the 48MP rear primary camera captures great photos and videos. The flat AMOLED display is solid for enjoying multimedia content. However, the 60Hz refresh rate in 2024 seems a bit outdated. As for the iPhone 16 Plus, this phone offers a larger screen and battery, making it perfect for those who want a larger phone experience. And with iOS 18, expect a seamless user experience and timely software updates. Additionally, the standard iPhone 16 is also the most affordable iPhone option that will get all the upcoming Apple Intelligence features.
google pixel 9
Next up on the list is the Google Pixel 9, which is a powerhouse of a smartphone. Its AMOLED display has a 120Hz refresh rate, which is perfect for multimedia consumption. The Tensor G4 chip under the hood and a 4,700mAh battery ensure all-day battery life for most people. Although charging speeds could be better (27W wired, 15W wireless), the camera system, powered by a 50MP primary rear lens, shines with vibrant photos and videos. The IP68 rating protects against dust and water, and the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor provides secure authentication. Google Pixel 9 is available in single 12GB RAM plus 256GB storage, priced at Rs 79,999.
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro 5G
We end our list with another Vivo device, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro 5G, a feature-packed foldable smartphone. Its massive 5,700mAh battery and fast charging, 100W wired and 50W wireless respectively, keeps you going all day long. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and the exceptional Zeiss camera system deliver one of the best camera performance on any foldable phone at the moment. The AMOLED display (inside and out) with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits peak brightness make the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro ideal for multimedia consumption. The X Fold 3 Pro is the only foldable phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner, that too an ultrasonic one. Priced at Rs 1,59,999, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is available in a single 16GB RAM plus 512GB storage option. However, with the card offer, you can get the X Fold 3 Pro at the best buy price of Rs 1,47,999 on Amazon.
