apple iphone 17 pro max to Get Triple 48MP Lenses and 8K Video: Full Camera Specs Inside I remember the buzz at last year’s Apple launch event in Mumbai—the kind of electric excitement only Apple seems to generate in India.

Field Insights & User Experience
From my hands-on demo, the A4 5G’s screen felt smoother than typical sub-₹10 k phones.
Browsing social feeds - Facebook, Instagram - felt snappy. Indoors, brightness was fine; I’ll test outdoors next, but early signs are promising.
In low light, the 50 MP camera delivered usable daylight-style shots, although shadows lost detail.

Battery held steady through a busy demo session - solid, but I’ll have a full-day review soon.
In India, this launch makes budget 5G a mainstream reality. Users upgrading from feature phones or older 4G devices get a modern experience without splurging.
US vs India: Market Nuances
In India, this launch makes budget 5G a mainstream reality. Users upgrading from feature phones or older 4G devices get a modern experience without splurging.
In the US, direct relevance is limited - this phone lacks US carrier bands, and e-commerce availability is restricted.
Still, it signals aggressive 5G pricing that could someday inspire similar models stateside.
Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G offers a 6,000 mAh battery and Dimensity 6300 at ~₹9,999 but ships with HD+ 120 Hz screen and 32 MP cam - slightly weaker camera but stronger endurance.
Infinix GT 30 Pro (~₹24,999) far outpaces in performance but at 2.5x the price - not a head-to-head.
Redmi edges ahead in display smoothness and usability for ₹3–4K less than mid-range 5G peers.
For Indian Android enthusiasts, sub-₹10 k 5G phones no longer mean severe compromises.

It signals a wider trend: what once was premium is now standard at entry levels.

120 Hz display, Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, and 50 MP cam elevate expectations.
Competes meaningfully with Realme’s Narzo lineup, often priced similarly. Realme official page
