Samsung offers its heavily customised and built One UI interface across its devices and for the Galaxy phones that comes with a built-in call recorder option. You don’t need to buy the premium Samsung phones to get the feature as it works at the software level.
Vivo phones
Vivo has previously offered its phones with Funtouch OS and now you get it with OriginOS in India. The new OS does make some UI changes but call recording is still part of the feature list and you can start recording during the call with a simple tap. Once again, this is built at the OS level so it works across different Vivo phones.
Xiaomi phones
Xiaomi is offering its phones with HyperOS version which is a slight improvement on the MIUI software interface. You have a built-in call recorder available with the default phone app from the company.
iQOO phones
iQOO is also running on OriginOS version like its parent brand Vivo in the country, so the features are identical and that brings the built-in call recorder to its devices.
Redmi phones
And yes, in the same way you have Xiaomi’s Redmi brand getting HyperOS version that has its built-in call recorder available on tap across the popular Redmi and Redmi Note models.
Oppo is the outlier in this list because its Dialer app does have call recording support but you have to enable it from the main settings for each call. OnePlus had it available with OxygenOS before but it stopped offering the feature and that could change once it migrates to ColorOS in the near future.
