In India, the first half of 2022 has seen some high-quality smartphones hit the market.
Smartphone technology continues to move at a rapid rate.
A touchscreen phone was once considered revolutionary but the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence and high-definition cameras has become the norm today.
The market has returned to some sense of normalcy since the Covid-19 pandemic and with it, come new phones.
Smartphones are packed with technology, including several cameras, fast processors and clear displays.

The Pro Max has exceptional camera quality, whether you use its telephoto, wide or ultrawide lens.
