Which one to choose
The ₹6,000 gap buys a bigger battery, faster 100W charging, a stronger selfie camera, a useful ultra-wide lens and a newer chip.
Both phones share the same display and durability ratings, which are strong for this price. Battery is clearly the selling point.
Why it matters for mobile shops
Large-battery phones are a growing request, so expect customers to quote these numbers. Flipkart is the main channel, so check dealer supply. Show the charging time difference between 67W and 100W, as that is often what closes the choice between models.
