With Flipkart’s Big Billion Day sale just around the corner, the month of September will be one of the best times to buy a new smartphone. If you want to buy a new phone under Rs 40,000, here are some of the best deals you should check out.
Launched a few months ago, the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is a mid-range phone that offers IP68 protection in a compact package.
The phone has a 6.7-inch pOLED screen with a refresh rate of 144Hz and is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, which can easily handle anything you throw at it. It has a dual camera setup that includes a 50MP primary shooter and a 13MP ultrawide lens.
Running Android 14 out of the box, Motorola has 3 years of Android updates, but the company’s past update record may be tough for those looking to buy a phone that will stay updated for years to come.
Still, the Edge 50 Fusion is a good choice for those looking for a good-looking phone with clean software under Rs 20,000.
