Which one to buy
Vgr V290 costs ₹899 against ₹996 for Philips NT3650, a real gap of ₹97 (11%). That is enough to matter, and big enough to survive the usual day-to-day price movement on both listings.
The ratings point the same way as the price: Vgr V290 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.1★ from 11,520 ratings against 3.8★. When the cheaper product is also the better-reviewed one there is not much left to weigh up.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vgr V290 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Philips NT3650 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vgr V290 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹899 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
