Iphone 15

The iPhone 14 series just launched a short while ago in India, and already, there’s a lot of speculation and enthusiasm about the upcoming iPhone 15 series. There’s already a lot of leaks going around the web about the iPhone 15 series coming with a design overhaul – complete with rounded edges and a new titanium chassis. This could possibly drive the price of the upcoming iPhone 15 up from US $799 for the iPhone 14 to US $849 or $899, in our opinion. This is a possibility since titanium is costlier than stainless steel which is used in iPhones currently. The phone could launch sometime in September 2023 as has been customary for all these years.

Google Pixel 7a

Google Pixel 7A offers everything that makes a Pixel phone desirable – fantastic camera performance and optimized and clean software. Add to that, a bright OLED display, decent battery life, and a compact build, and you have what could be a winning Android smartphone formula. However, this phone doesn't hold a candle to the raw performance offered by the iPhones and Samsung flagships of this world. Nevertheless, at its price, we deduce that this would be the more popular Pixel "flagship" smartphone, and rightfully so, because we believe it is better bang for your buck than its Pro counterpart. Other options in this price segment include the OnePlus 10T, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12
