This year, smartphone manufacturers have lined up some powerful smartphones across different price ranges. We are expecting fresh new designs from Xiaomi, Apple’s iPhone 14 series with a hole-punch camera, and an interesting foldable from Oppo to launch in India. Here is a selection of smartphones you can buy this year without burdening your wallet with HDFC Bank EasyEMI that will help you manage any big purchase that you make.

It is expected to cost anywhere between ₹70,000 to ₹80,000.

Oppo Find N
Oppo Find N mobile was launched on December 15, 2021 in China. It is the first foldable flagship smartphone of Oppo with two displays, but feels like a regular smartphone when folded. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, it runs Android 11 and packs a 4500mAh battery. The crease in the Find N is barely visible on the interior display, making it quite pleasant to use. Since the flagship phone supports Super VOOC fast charging, which will charge your battery from 0 to 100 % in less than an hour.
