The very best, top-of-the-line, fancy flagship smartphones come with the coolest features that you can get on any device. These premium phones feature gorgeous screens, really good cameras, fast charging, wireless charging and IP ratings. All these things make the phone work really well, look really nice, and do a lot of different things. But because there are so many choices, picking the absolute best one can be tricky. So, to help you out, we’ve made a list of the very best, top flagship phones you can buy in India this October. The list includes the iPhone 15 Pro and three more phones that are also really good.
1. iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
The only major thing separating the iPhone 15 Pro from the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the size, and of course, the price. But apart from that, this year around, the iPhone 15 Pro is probably the best Pro upgrade to come to the iPhone in a long time. The ergonomics are better, the weight is reduced thanks to the titanium frame, the bezels are slimmer, the type-C port has arrived, there’s an Action button, you can now shoot Log videos from an iPhone and the list goes on and on. Granted, the prices have gone really up, but, if you want the best of the best, there’s none other than the iPhone 15 Pro series. However, do note, that there’s a substantial price difference of Rs 25,000 between the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. So, before making the final choice, do consider the pricing bit and ask yourself — is the extra money worth the more screen real estate and slightly longer battery life? Either way, both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are solid flagship phones that one can buy right now.
2. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is possibly the best phone from Samsung right now. Granted, it costs over Rs 1,50,000 in India, but, if you don’t mind spending a lot of money and want the absolute best phone with top-notch features, especially one that’s different from regular flat phones, then the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the way to go. It has a beautiful 6.2-inch outer screen and a large 7.6-inch SAMOLED screen that’s very bright, similar to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 runs on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, has 12GB RAM, offers up to 1TB of storage, is water-resistant, and its cameras work well both during the day and at night. The hinge is sturdy, and now there’s hardly any gap between the screens when it’s closed. All in all, if you’re looking for the best foldable phone, or simply one of the best phones overall, and money isn’t a problem, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is your top choice.
3. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is one of the fanciest phones you can get, and there’s good reason for it. It has a gorgeous 6.8-inch screen that’s really sharp and bright, and it refreshes at a smooth 120Hz. The camera setup is amazing too, with a whopping 200MP main camera, a wide-angle camera, and two telephoto cameras. Plus, it comes with a nifty S Pen for note-taking and drawing. Inside, it runs on the super speedy Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, the fastest one for Android phones right now. It’s got loads of RAM (12GB) and has up to 1TB of storage options. The battery is big too — 5000mAh — so it lasts all day on one charge. To put it simply, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the best non-foldable Samsung phone that you can get right now, and absolutely, the top 3 most premium flagship phones you can consider buying. Yes, it’s not cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
4. OnePlus 11 5G
If you’re looking for a top-notch flagship phone without breaking the bank, consider the OnePlus 11 5G. It starts at Rs 56,999 in India for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This phone offers great value for its price. It has an appealing design, runs swiftly with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and boasts a curved 120Hz display.

Thanks to options for up to 16GB of RAM, it can handle multiple apps at once without slowing down. The camera captures good photos and videos, and the software is user-friendly. All in all, if you’re after a high-quality phone without a hefty price tag, the OnePlus 11 5G is a fantastic choice. Plus, in the ongoing sale, the starting price is currently reduced to Rs 49,999.
