However, considered its high price of Rs 25k, Chinese smartphones like Xiaomi Mi4 and Oppo's One Plus One can dent the Japanese phone's popularity.
A finely crafted phone, a brilliant display, a very impressive low light camera performance, and the polished OS with guaranteed updates makes the One A9 an option for those who value quality all around.
We tell you why you should consider buying one of these top 5 smartphones this Diwali!
The Oppo N3 lacks the punch for its premium pricing and one could rather go for Sony Xperia Z3 and save some cash for accessories, says Himanshu Juneja
A few critical shortcomings and a possible pricing blunder on the 64 GB (Rs 23,999) capacity model might just take the wind out of the sales of Xiaomi's latest offering.
The price tag of Rs 52,990 seems a bit off. Samsung Galaxy S7 has positioned itself as the flagship to beat, and with the very capable HTC 10 on the prowl, LG should have been proactive and imaginative with the pricing. A price tag of Rs 45,000 would have truly given the fillip to the first modular phone in the market, says Himanshu Juneja
At Rs 32,500, the 4G-enabled Samsung Galaxy A8 is only for dyed-in-the-wool fans, says Himanshu Juneja
The Moto Turbo possesses a screen with class leading resolution but falls short on being a market leader. Should you be buying it then? Himanshu Juneja reviews the latest Moto...
The Moto G3 makes for an automatic suggestion for those who seek the best value for a budget segment mobile phone.
Lenovo's K3 Note not only impresses, but is going to make competing brands in the price segment sweat a decent bit, says Himanshu Juneja

They come up with Samsung Galaxy A3, a premium phone, to take on competition from the Chinese!
HTC has always wowed the audience with its slick and beautiful designing of its phones. Anybody taking a look at HTC One M9+ will not think otherwise either.
At Rs 20k, it is not the sole contender for the segment crown, but the invitation-based purchasing system for something like One Plus 2 or a Xiaomi Mi4 allows the Moto X Play to run away with the competition.
For a phone which is marred with heating issues, does not provide a Quad HD display, is incapable of recording 4K videos, and whose camera performance in general is not in the league of flagships, Himanshu Juneja wonders if Sony has once again got is pricing all wrong.
But if one can grab an invite, OnePlus 2 is the best smatphone within the sub-Rs 25,000 budget.
With a passable built material, and decent battery back up, the chances of the phone commanding premium price dwindled quite early. Anybody with a budge of thirty thousand plus will gladly go for something more worthy like Moto X Style

Sony will do well to pull its latest offering near to the Rs 20,000 mark if they want to make prospective buyers seriously consider the Xperia T3.
The concerns regarding the leather durability and omissions of the plastic back panel will surely come to haunt LG. Combine all this with an asking price of Rs ~50,000 and the lurking news of touchscreen issues, LG has pretty much a hot potato on its hands!
