Frequently asked about smartphones
Should I wait for the next launch?
For phones above ₹25K, "wait 6 months" is almost always the right answer — flagships drop sharply. Below ₹25K, the segment churns weekly so waiting rarely pays.
iPhone or Android in India?
iPhone 15 onward is finally priced reasonably with 6 years of OS updates. Android wins on value 80% of the time below ₹40K, especially Samsung A-series for the long-OS-support bet.
What about 5G?
Almost every phone above ₹10K supports 5G now. We verify the n78 + n28 bands that Jio and Airtel actually use in India — some imports skip these.
