5 phones with a 256GB variant under ₹30,000 launched in India in 2026 are in our verified database, from 3 brands. Official launch prices run from ₹17,999 for the OPPO K14 5G to ₹27,999 for the TECNO POVA Curve 2 5G.

This page combines two requirements, and a phone appears only if one of its official variants meets both — for example a variant with the stated RAM at or below the stated launch price, not just any variant of the same model.

On our spec score, the leading models here are vivo Y51 Pro 5G (7.3/10), vivo T5x 5G (7.2/10), TECNO POVA Curve 2 5G (6.9/10). Spec score = processor tier 30% + camera hardware 25% + display 15% + battery and charging 15% + promised software updates 15%, calculated from the official specifications. It is not a hands-on review.
