Best phones under Rs 75000 (June 2023): Samsung Galaxy S23 5G Google Pixel 7 Pro to Apple iPhone 13

We heard you have a generous budget of Rs 75,000 for a new smartphone, and are looking for a flagship product with excellent cameras, extremely powerful processors, high-quality display and the works. If that’s the case, you have come to the right place. We have just shortlisted five smartphones from a large pool that we believe are the best under 75K in India this month. Come, let’s take a look.

Best phones to buy under Rs 75,000 in India

OnePlus 11 5G Marble Odyssey 
The top variant of the OnePlus 11 5G can be easily purchased in this budget. But if you are willing to spend another Rs 3,000 for elegance, style and a certain degree of exclusivity, we would recommend the Marble Odyssey edition of the same phone. While the overall shape and design are very much like other OnePlus 11 variants, the company has worked its magic on the back panel which does look and feel like a slab of polished marble. The champagne gold metal frame complements it to perfection and makes the phone look incredibly elegant. Or should we say marble-ous (sorry)!

Beyond the aesthetics, the phone is packed with high-end features like a 6.7-inch curved LTPO3 AMOLED display with a resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels. This HDR10+ and Dolby Vision-compliant screen supports 10-bit colour depth, up to 120 Hz variable refresh rate and can get up to 1300 nits bright. A 5000 mAh battery keeps the phone running for a day and a half of moderate use, and the bundled 100W charger juices it up in just 25 minutes. The phone runs OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13 and one can expect more OS and security updates going forward.

The OnePlus 11 5G is powered by Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and you get a generous 16 GB RAM and 256 GB UFS 4.0 storage to go with it. The rear camera department is loaded to the brim. It is helmed by a 50MP primary camera with OIS and Hasselblad’s colour tuning. The support cast is equally impressive with a 48MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus that also doubles up as a macro camera and a 32MP telephoto camera with 2X optical zoom, which is great with portrait shots too.

Google Pixel 7 Pro
Google’s flagship smartphone was officially priced at Rs 84,999 in India at launch and is now selling for Rs 75,999. And one can get it well under 75K on Flipkart thanks to a flat Rs 4,000 discount on multiple credit and debit cards on the platform. The Pixel 7 Pro is powered by Google’s next-gen Tensor G2 processor and offers 12 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. It has a curved 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate and 1500 nits peak brightness. The HDR10+ compliant screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Speaking of protection, the phone has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

You get by far the best Android 13 experience on this device, thanks to the purest version of Android with the Material You design language. No surprises, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is great at photography courtesy of three cameras at the back. You get a 50MP primary camera with OIS, along with a 48MP telephoto camera with OIS for up to 5X optical zoom and surprisingly good 30X digital zoom. The 12MP ultra-wide camera with auto-focus is equally impressive and doubles up as a macro camera too. They do a great job in different lighting and modes.

Samsung Galaxy S23 5G
On the topic of credit card discounts, one can play that card to get the 256 GB variant of the Samsung Galaxy S23 5G within this budget. You get an instant Rs 5,000 off using various credit cards on different platforms on the 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage variant of this phone, thus bringing it within our budget. Else, you can always get its 128 GB variant under 75K. This phone is quite compact, stylish and has IP68 rated dust and fluid resistance. 

The phone sports an aluminium frame and a glass back with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 at the front and back for protection against scratches. It has a 6.1-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a peak brightness of 1750 nits, HDR10+ compliance and 120 Hz refresh rate. The Samsung Galaxy S23 5G is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The phone runs Android 13 with Samsung’s One UI 5.1.

The photography department has been carried forward from its predecessor and consists of three cameras at the back starting with a 50MP primary camera with dual pixel PDAF and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with Super Steady video support and a 10MP telephoto camera with OIS for 3X optical zoom. The camera performance is among the best in business currently, and can also record videos in 8K resolution.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G
We have another Samsung in the list. The Galaxy Z Flip4 is selling for well under 75K at the time of writing this. This is one of the most compact foldable phones around. While the foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is its key selling point, not many realise how powerful this phone is. Powered by Qualcomm’s previous flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, it is technically even more powerful than all the Samsung Galaxy S22 phones, including the Ultra.

Galaxy Flip 4

The 6.7-inch elongated display is HDR10+ compliant and has a resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels with a 120 Hz refresh rate. And there’s a tiny 1.9-inch Super AMOLED display at the back too (or should we say at the front when the phone is folded) which is quite a handy addition. You can get the 256 GB storage variant in this budget now. The photography department comprises two 12MP cameras. The primary has OIS and the secondary captures ultra-wide shots with 123 degrees FOV. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 runs Android 12 with One UI 4.1, and is upgradeable to Android 13 with One UI 5.x.

Apple iPhone 13
A list of premium phones without one from Apple doesn’t sound right. 75K is a reasonable budget to get yourself an iPhone even without the festive sales. You get two options to choose from – the newer Apple iPhone 14 with 128 GB storage or the older iPhone 13 with 256 GB storage. The price of both models is fairly similar. Now this would have been a tough choice had Apple made the 14 (non-Pro) notably different from the 13 with the addition of newer features and a faster processor. But they haven’t, and hence we would recommend more storage over recency. 

iPhone 13

The Apple iPhone 13 has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels and is compliant with HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The phone feels great in hand due to its compact size and has IP68-rated ingress protection. It is powered by Apple’s previous flagship A15 Bionic chip which also powers the iPhone 14. It is still fairly powerful for most tasks including gaming.

There are two 12MP cameras at the back with the primary lens offering OIS, and the secondary capable of capturing ultra-wide shots. The performance in photography and videography is excellent, as one expects from an iPhone. It launched with iOS 15, and is upgradable to iOS 16, with more OS updates to follow over the next three to four years at least.

Apple iPhone 13 price in India: Rs 68,499 for 256GB storage

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
