Amazon's Great Indian Festival has brought down the effective prices of several smartphones that would otherwise sit closer to the premium segment. This makes the under Rs 50,000 category particularly interesting for buyers who do not want to compromise too much on hardware. From gaming focused phones to models built around battery life and cameras, there are several options worth considering.
Here are five smartphones that stand out during the current Amazon sale.

Amazon lists the offer as part of its Great Indian Festival deals. The phone comes with a 6.78 inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.
