NotebookcheckOct 2023
A polished flagship whose cameras, screen and seven-year update promise matter more than raw speed (global unit).
-
DigitNov 2023
Great camera, screen and AI editing, but at Rs 1.07 lakh the heat, throttling and so-so battery make it hard to recommend.
-
GSMArenaOct 2023
A step-by-step upgrade over the 7 Pro that still earns a recommendation (score as normalised by Notebookcheck; review page not opened).
-
Gadgets360 (NDTV)Nov 2023
On-device AI is the highlight, though the higher price may push buyers toward a discounted Pixel 7 Pro (from Notebookcheck's summary).
-

Called the best Android phone you could buy in India at the time (from Notebookcheck's summary).

-
