The verdict, up front

India's clean-Android dual-display pick.

Agni 3 is the cheapest phone shipping a rear secondary AMOLED — a real differentiator over Galaxy A35 ($249) and Redmi Note 14 Pro+ ($329). The chip is mid-tier and distribution India-focused, but for clean Android with unique hardware, it has no rival under $300.
