1. Samsung Ultra 21 Ultra- Mobile Phone is on trending till the date

RAM: 12GB / 16GB
Storage: 128GB/256GB/512GB
Battery: 5,000mAh
Rear camera: 108MP + 10MP + 10MP + 12MP
Front camera: 40MP
Reasons to buy- The best camera zoom + mesmerizing design
Reasons to avoid- Expensive at any level- No microSD card slot
The first mobile phone is Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. In terms of camera zoom technology, performance, battery life, and display, the Galaxy S21 Ultra establishes a new standard. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is your best option if you’re searching for the most excellent smartphone in India that doesn’t skimp on features.
If you’re searching for something that’s both beautiful and durable, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone for you. QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate on a 6.8-inch curved edge-to-edge screen. It boasts an Exynos 2100 processor, which is combined with 12GB of RAM under the hood of the gadget. At the same time, the rate and effectiveness of the Exynos processor have increased by leaps and bounds. That being said, it still has issues with graphically intense gameplay. A lot of warmth immediately follows throttling.
An ISOCELL HM3 primary camera, a wide-angle lens and two additional telephoto lenses are included in the device’s optics. A 40MP selfie camera is also included. Real-world performance is excellent, with beautiful photographs captured at all focal lengths, regardless of the camera’s specifications. However, the quality of a photo is excellent up to around 30x, while you may even go up to 100x.
It takes 90 minutes for the 5,000mAh battery units charge from 0% to 100%, while the 25W converter does the same in less than an hour. The gadget also supports wireless charging. Samsung’s first non-Note phone with S Pen compatibility, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, is also a trend we want to see. It doesn’t matter whether you purchase a separate S Pen. Once you have it, there is no way to integrate it into the phone’s design. All the criteria are checked. However, it lacks expandable storage and a charger.
2. iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max
Release date: September 2021
Weight: 204g / 240g
Dimensions: 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.7mm / 160.8mm x 78.1mm x 7.7mm
OS: iOS 15

Resolution: 1170 x 2532 / 1284 x 2778

The second mobile phone is Apple iPhone 13 and 13 Pro Max. Apple’s newest mobile phones, the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are the most technologically sophisticated iPhones on the market today. They have enhanced cameras, 120Hz refresh rates, and a surprisingly wonderful battery life for a top-tier iPhone.
On the other hand, Apple is the only mobile phone company currently releasing large, noticeable bezels. It’s still there, and if you’re switching from a flagship Android handset to an iPhone, it can’t be ignored.
The battery life of the iPhone 13 Max is much better than that of its predecessors. Even while the iPhone 13 Pro’s battery life isn’t the greatest compared to its larger sister, this is still an improvement over the iPhone 12 Pro’s battery life.
Compared to prior generations, the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max’s camera capabilities have been significantly enhanced. Aside from a new Cinematic mode and a more spectacular macro mode, the hardware has not changed. Still, Apple has introduced additional methods that may only appeal to a select group of users.
Galaxy S21 Ultra has beaten the best iPhones, presumably because this year’s smartphones have all received incremental updates.
3. OnePlus 9 Pro
Display: 6.67″ QHD+, Super AMOLED, 120Hz
Processor: Snapdragon 888
RAM: 8/12GB
Storage: 128/256GB

Front camera: 16MP
Battery: 4500mAh
Charging: Wrap charging 65T, 50W wireless
OS: Android 11
Weight: 196g
Thickness: 8.7mm
Reasons to buy- True-to-life camera+ Excellent display+ Great ergonomics+ Incredible charging speeds
Reasons to avoid- Average battery life-Telephoto Lens-Expensive
The third mobile phone is OnePlus 9 Pro. The OnePlus 9 Pro is the company’s first near-perfect flagship phone. If you’re looking for an Android smartphone that has all the bells and whistles, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ticks all the right ones.
However, the OnePlus 9 Pro is not the first flagship we can suggest since the competition has grown so much better at the same price or lower price tag. In addition, ColorOS integration has made OxygenOS less appealing.
The OnePlus 9 Pro stands out among the fastest Android phones available, thanks to its Snapdragon 888 CPU and plenty of quick storage and RAM. There’s also a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display that’s a joy to look at, thanks to its clarity, colour and smoothness.
The OnePlus 9 Pro’s battery life is the most disappointing aspect of the device. The 4,500mAh battery provides a mediocre backup that may be quickly depleted. The new 65W quick charging feature allows the mobile phone to go from 0% to 100% in only 35 minutes. The 50W wireless charging is an additional perk.
The OnePlus 9 Pro is a massive improvement in camera quality over its predecessors. As a result of working with Hasselblad, OnePlus has improved the colour accuracy and temperature of the photos. Sony’s new 1/1.43-inch IMX789 sensor powers the camera’s primary 48MP f/1.8 sensor. One of the most excellent ultra-wide sensors on a smartphone is the secondary 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor. In addition, you get an 8MP 8x telephoto lens with a 3.3x optical zoom. In a word, the OnePlus 9 Pro’s camera performance is much superior to previous OnePlus models.
4. iPhone 13
Release date: September 2021
Weight: 174g
Dimensions: 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.7mm
OS: iOS 15
Screen size: 6.1-inch
Resolution: 1170 x 2532
CPU: A15 Bionic
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 128GB/256GB/512GB
Battery: Up to 19 hours
Rear camera: 12MP+12MP
Front camera: 12MP
Reasons to buy- Strong battery life+Powerful internals
Reasons to avoid- If you don’t want to spend money on the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max, the iPhone 13 is an excellent alternative for a premium phone.
The fourth mobile phone is iPhone13. The mobile phone has the same processor as the tablet and, as a result, is very powerful. As a consequence of its display’s lower 120Hz refresh rate than its Pro counterparts, the iPhone 13 has a longer-lasting battery.
With its 6.1-inch OLED screen, the iPhone 13 has a lot of brightness and clarity. It has a notch, although it’s smaller than the one on the iPhone 12’s model.
A day’s usage of the iPhone 13 was reliable in our testing, but not much more. However, despite this, it’s an upgrade over many prior iPhones in this area.
As previously mentioned, the iPhone 13 lacks a telephoto lens. But its primary and ultra-wide cameras are excellent, with the former having bigger pixels than the iPhone 12. Experimentation is encouraged here appreciate, with better image stabilisation and additional shooting modes and features.
5. Samsung’s Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus
Release date: January 2021
Weight: 169g/200g
Dimensions: 151.7 x 71.2 x 7.9 mm / 161.5 x 75.6 x 7.8 mm

Battery: 4,000mAh / 4,800mAh
Rear camera: 12MP + 64MP + 12MP
Front camera: 10MP
Reasons to buy- Fantastic, versatile camera + Cheaper than the Galaxy S20
Reasons to avoid- No microSD support-Screen isn’t the best
The fifth mobile phone is Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Compared to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus aren’t quite as powerful. Even though the cheaper gadget offers a superior smartphone experience, many people will choose it over the more expensive one.
Samsung’s decision to use Full HD for the Galaxy S21 has received a lot of attention, but in our testing, we didn’t detect much of a drop in quality until we were comparing it to a QHD display. The Galaxy S21’s screen will please many with its 120Hz refresh rate and high brightness, but if you’re looking for something bigger, the Plus’ 6.7-inch screen is perfect for you.
A single charge of the Samsung Galaxy S21 will last you all day, and the 4,000mAh battery ensures that you won’t need a recharge for quite some time. Although the S21 Plus has a 4,800mAh battery, we could get more use out of it.
A few software upgrades from Samsung have given the Galaxy S21’s camera a slight edge over the Galaxy S20’s. Aside from the Galaxy S21 Ultra, this isn’t quite as impressive, but it’s an excellent option for most people who only want to take a few photos.
When it comes to a Samsung Galaxy S21, you can’t go wrong with the Galaxy S21 Ultra or any of its predecessors since it has the same impressive specs, a more attractive design, and a lower price. If you already possess a Samsung Galaxy S20, we don’t suggest this, but if you’re looking for a new mobile phone, this is it. Another option is to look at the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus, which has a little longer battery life and a bigger screen (even though its specs are remarkably similar).

OS: Android 11
Weight: 190g
Thickness: 8.4mm
Reasons to buy- Capable cameras+ Display+ Performance+ IP rating and wireless charging
Reasons to avoid- Slow Charging-Average battery life
The sixth mobile phone is Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor powers the 5G edition of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, making it an excellent smartphone in and of itself. Galaxy S20 FE Exynos edition had several concerns, including battery life and heating, which the Snapdragon chipset has rectified in the Snapdragon S20 FE model.
In terms of cost, specs, and features, this is likewise a Samsung flagship mobile phone that can be endorsed. Compared to the lightning-fast charging rates offered by most current flagships, this phone’s 15W charging is excruciatingly sluggish.
With a 12MP f/1.8 primary camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera, the phone has a total of three cameras—the level of excellence shown by the images shot by the phone’s camera. You get a 32MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture on the front of the phone.
Wireless charging and an IP68 certification are also included in a stylish design. You’ll also receive a sharp 120Hz Support AMOLED display as a bonus.

Front camera: 10MP+Useful S Pen features + Great-looking screen
Reasons to avoid- Slow charging-huge size
The seventh mobile phone is Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra. This may be Samsung’s last Note smartphone, according to recent sources. Despite that, it is a large-screened mobile phone with a gorgeous display, advanced functionality, and distinctive S Pen pen features.
That being said, it isn’t quite as feature-packed as Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra or Galaxy S21 Ultra. Fortunately, the many advantages outweigh the few drawbacks.
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra’s 6.9-inch screen, which has a 120Hz refresh rate and the option of QHD+ resolution, is the best display on a mobile phone (at a 60Hz refresh rate).
There is nothing ordinary about Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra’s camera. The above zoom settings will allow you to get closer to your subject while still shooting stunning photographs.
The battery of the Note 20 Ultra is a potential weak point. A phone with an Exynos 990 processor, which is common outside North America, will need to be recharged before the end of the day if it’s used heavily.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the mobile phone of choice for power and productivity users if you can afford it.
8. iPhone 12 and iPhone12 Pro Max
Weight: 189g / 228g

Battery: Unknown
Rear camera: 12MP + 12MP + 12MP
Front camera: 12MP
Reasons to buy- Varied colour choices +Clear and vibrant screen
Reasons to avoid- No charging block in box -5G still an expensive luxury
The eighth mobile phone is iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Because of the incremental nature of the iPhone 13 series’ improvements, the iPhone 12 series remains a powerful one. For 2021 and beyond, Apple’s software upgrades will keep the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max viable.
For those who want a larger screen and improved battery life, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is an excellent choice over the iPhone 12 Pro since it has both.
The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are the obvious choices for Apple fans who want the best but don’t want to spend much money.
It doesn’t matter if the 6.1-inch OLED screen on Apple’s iPhone X is set to 60Hz since it’s still excellent for watching videos and playing games. No matter how much there is still a notch carved out at the top of iPhones, you can ignore it.
Battery life isn’t revolutionary, but it’s still better than prior Apple devices, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s battery backup is one of its best features.
The iPhone 12 Pro’s three-camera system is outstanding. While the three rear-facing cameras are similar to those of the iPhone 11 Pro, other from the addition of a LiDAR sensor, which reportedly permits portrait mode-style images even in Night Mode, there is little difference between the two devices. If you want the most excellent camera on an Apple smartphone, the 12 Pro Max is the way to go.
iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Plus are great devices, but they also cost a lot of money. While other Android flagships are available at this price range, moving to Android is a daunting task for an Apple customer.
