Samsung Galaxy A35 5G — ₹19,999

Best camera under ₹20000. Samsung's 50MP main sensor with OIS + 13MP 123-degree ultrawide + 5MP telephoto (3x optical zoom) creates a versatile camera system. Three distinct focal lengths — wide, ultrawide, and zoom — provide genuine photographic flexibility that most competitors at this price lack.

Samsung's Expert RAW app (available on A35) allows manual camera controls and RAW file shooting. Video stabilisation is among the best in the ₹20000 range. 5-year OS support commitment from Samsung future-proofs the investment.
