Best phones under Rs 40,000 (May 2023): OnePlus 11R 5G, Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to iQOO 9 5G Best phones under Rs 40,000 (Nov-Dec 2022): Motorola Edge 30 Fusion, OnePlus 10R to Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G

The OnePlus Nord 3 5G may not necessarily be better than the 11R 5G but doesn’t lag far behind either. More importantly, you can get double the RAM and internal storage as compared to the 11R 5G and for a good Rs 2,000 less. Yes, that’s 16 GB RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. The phone is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 9000 SoC that is about 10% less powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip in benchmarks. The rear camera department here flaunts two 50MP cameras – the primary with OIS and an ultra-wide camera, that do an excellent job in different modes and lighting.

A 5000 mAh battery keeps the phone running for a day and a half of moderate use, and the bundled 65W SuperDart charger juices it fully in just 37 minutes.

The only other criticism I could offer was the included USB-C cable. It continues the wired controller trend of being 10 feet long. For many gamers, this won’t be an issue. For those of us with large living rooms and very big TVs, we could have used an extra couple feet. My finger’s are crossed that the Fusion Pro 4 has a slightly longer cable. Admirable Attempt
