Why it might win
Best video camera, effortless ecosystem
Why it might not
120Hz finally, but the zoom trails badly
Best camera for video
Apple’s video processing is still the one to beat, and the iPhone 17 inherits it at ₹82,900, a full ₹42,099 under the S26 Ultra. If most of your photography is actually video, that alone can settle the decision.
120Hz arrives, the zoom still lags
The display finally caught up to the refresh rates Android phones have had for years, which was overdue. The telephoto camera has not caught up to Samsung’s, and against the similarly priced OnePlus 15 that gap is easier to notice.
