Best Phones Under ₹40,000 in India (2026)

26 phones under ₹40,000 launched in India in 2026 are in our verified database, from 5 brands. Official launch prices run from ₹7,999 for the Lava Bold N2 Pro to ₹39,999 for the vivo S2.

Prices on these pages are the official launch prices each brand announced for India, for its lowest-priced RAM and storage variant. Marketplace prices move with sales, exchange offers and bank discounts, so a phone launched just above a budget line often sells below it a few weeks later — the Amazon and Flipkart links on every phone show the current price.

On our spec score, the leading models here are vivo T5 (8.1/10), vivo T5 Pro 5G (7.8/10), vivo V70 FE (7.7/10). 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.
