While the smartphone market continues to witness tons of launches every single week or so, there are only a handful of devices that manage to pique the interest of people for a long duration. In this article, we have curated a list of the top 20 most popular mobile phones in the month of February 2023 based on user searches on 91mobiles.com to get an idea of which handsets people are most interested in. The list not only includes recently launched devices but also smartphones from last year as well.
Top 5 most popular phones in February 2023
Interestingly, the top five most popular phones based on user searches on 91mobiles in the month of February are all new entrants i.e. phones that were launched last month. Let’s take a look:
1. Vivo Y100
Vivo’s latest midrange offering, Y100, seems to garner a lot of interest from readers and visitors of 91mobiles. Launched at a price of Rs 24,999 on February 16th, the handset boasts the MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC along with a colour-changing rear panel which was previously seen on several Vivo V series phones. Another interesting addition of the Vivo Y100 is the 64MP OIS-enabled triple camera setup that aids in capturing jitter-free videos and night shots. Apart from that, the handset flaunts a 6.38-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and an adequate 4,500mAh battery with 44W fast charging support.
2. OnePlus 11
Next up on the list is the OnePlus 11, which is one of the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered smartphones you can get in India right now. This is possibly the reason our readers were highly interested in this device last month. The handset packs in all the necessary specifications of a flagship phone such as a 120Hz enabled QHD+ curved display, high-grade cameras, and a beefy 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging.
3. OnePlus 11R
Launched alongside the OnePlus 11 in February itself, visitors of 91mobiles seem to take a high interest in OnePlus 11R due to the handset’s competitive pricing. Specifications include a 6.74-inch 1.5k AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, 50MP triple rear cameras, a 16MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000mAh battery that can be fast charged up to 100W.
4. iQOO Neo 7
iQOO has been gaining in popularity since its existence, which is why our readers were quite interested to learn about the iQOO Neo 7, the successor to the highly popular Neo 6. This is India’s first phone to get the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset that is paired with UFS 3.1 storage and up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM. While the iQOO Neo 7 carries a similar-looking camera module to the Neo 6, it misses out on an ultra-wide angle sensor and instead packs a 64MP main camera along with 2MP macro and depth lenses. Juicing up the device is a 5,000mAh battery which is a much-needed addition for mobile gamers for whom the device is targeted towards.
5. POCO X5 Pro
The POCO X5 Pro comes in fifth position when it comes to popularity among the readers and visitors of 91mobiles in the month of February. The handset carries the tried and tested Snapdragon 778G chipset and flaunts a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The optics are taken care of by 108MP primary + 8MP + 2MP triple rear cameras along with a 16MP selfie snapper. Lastly, the POCO X5 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

6. Realme 10 Pro Plus
Launched in early December 2022, the Realme 10 Pro Plus continues to pique interest among the people which could be due to the stunning 6.7-inch FHD+ curved OLED display and the appealing rear panel the handset carries. Apart from that, despite rocking a large 5,000mAh battery, the Realme 10 Pro+ is one of the slimmest phones you can get in its price segment.
7. OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite is the most affordable OnePlus phone one can get in India right now. Coming with a clean and bloat-free software experience, the Nord CE 2 Lite runs on the Snapdragon 695 chipset which is the same chipset used on several recently launched budget phones. A 120Hz LCD display and a 5,000mAh battery are other key highlights of the smartphone.
8. Redmi Note 12 Pro
The Redmi Note 12 Pro is the company’s latest midrange offering that features the highly popular flagship grade 50MP IMX 766 primary camera. Besides that, the handset carries a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display along with the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM.
9. OPPO Reno8 T
Just like the Realme 10 Pro Plus, the OPPO Reno8 T‘s standout feature is the curved 6.7-inch AMOLED display that comes with a 120Hz refresh rate. Since the Reno series primarily focuses on the cameras, the Reno8 T features a 32MP selfie shooter and 108MP triple rear camera setup.
10. Realme 10 Pro
Much like its elder sibling, the Realme 10 Pro+, the Realme 10 Pro is seemingly still popular among the people visiting 91mobiles, taking the 10th position on the list. The smartphone features razor-thin bezels on its 6.72-inch FHD+ display panel that supports up to 120Hz refresh rate. Running under the hood is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM.
11. OnePlus Nord 2T

12. Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus
The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus offers a massive 200MP primary camera with OIS which also makes it the most affordable handset to do so.

15. Samsung Galaxy S23

Coming with a 6.1-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, the Galaxy S23 is the perfect option for those who seek a compact flagship.

17. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra holds its ground strong despite being launched a year ago. This could particularly be because of the great deals and price cuts after the launch of the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

While the company has announced the POCO X5 Pro, its predecessor, the POCO X4 Pro continues to be relevant in February 2023, per 91mobile‘s user searches. The handset flaunts a unique rear design encompassed in a glass panel that changes patterns when light falls on it. Apart from that, the X4 Pro boasts a 108MP camera and runs on the Snapdragon 695 chipset. A 5,000mAh capacity battery powers up the phone.

Trend analysis
OnePlus and Samsung are fighting neck-to-neck
Our list of top 20 popular phones is dominated by OnePlus (5) and Samsung (4) smartphones. Samsung being a household name is still very much in the competition in India, outscoring Chinese rivals like Realme, Vivo, and iQOO in terms of user searches. OnePlus, on the other hand, has released a bunch of smartphones that cater to a wide range of price points, ensuring users have the option to buy a OnePlus phone no matter their budget.
iPhone is nowhere to be seen
It’s interesting to see that there is not a single iPhone model on the list for the month of February. While people have been searching for flagship phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 5G, the iPhone 14 series has been left out. This could change, however, during the festive sales when iPhones typically see massive discounts.
