5 Best Mobile Phones Under Rs 10,000 in India (September 2023)

Back in the day, mobile brands used to launch the best smartphones under Rs 10,000 but after the GST hike, phones have become more expensive than ever.

So if you want the best smartphone then I would recommend you to increase your budget to Rs 15000 but if you can’t then let’s take a look at some of the best smartphones under Rs 10000.

Best Mobile Phones Under Rs 10000

There are tons of phones that are available under Rs 10,000 but out of every one of them, you can take a look at Motorola G32, POCO M3, POCO C3, Redmi 9 Prime, or even Micromax IN 1B. So let’s see which one is the best under Rs 10,000.

Motorola G32

Specifications

6.50-inches HD+ LCD Display 90Hz Refresh Rate Snapdragon 680 Android 12 (Stock) 50MP+8MP+2MP Rear Cameras 16MP Front Cameras 5,000mAh battery (30W)

One of the best smartphones available under Rs 10,000 in India, it’s powered by a Snapdragon 680 processor which is powerful enough to handle the day-to-day task but keep in mind, this is not a powerful processor to play heavy games.

This is best for those users who don’t play heavy games like BGMI or even COD Mobile.

The battery will last for more than a day because of the 6nm Snapdragon 680 processor while the phone runs on pure stock UI, so there are no ads or bloatware baked into the UI.

One more thing, the cameras are not the best but for the price, it comes and what it offers, there is nothing more to complain about the cameras.

POCO M3

Specifications

6.53-inches HD+ LCD Display, Snapdragon 662 Processor (11 nm), Android 11 based on MIUI 13 48MP+2MP+2MP Rear Cameras, 8MP Front Cameras, 6,000mAh battery,

The POCO M3 is powered by Snapdragon 662 Processor which is a good processor as this is priced at Rs 9,999 for 6GB RAM and 64GB storage.

The phone also has a massive 6,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

Considering the price tag, I would say, POCO has done a good job with POCO M3. In the end, it comes to whether you like MIUI or not, if you’re okay with MIUI then do consider the POCO M3 otherwise Motorola G32 is still a better choice.

POCO C55

Specifications

6.71-inches HD+ LCD Display, MediaTek Helio G85 Android 12 based on MIUI 13 50MP + 2MP Rear Cameras, 5MP Front Cameras, 5,000mAh battery, 10W Charging Support,

For the price of Rs 9,499, POCO C55 is a good smartphone to consider for day-to-day usage. Not the best for gaming or even cameras but still, for the price it comes, this is not a bad option either.

The 50MP primary sensor is kind of okay and it will provide saturated images while the front camera has a white tone. The 5,000mAh battery will last for a day without any issue but the biggest problem is this only supports 10W charging.

POCO C55 doesn’t make any sense as we already have the POCO M3. So I just hope, POCO will continue to sell this POCO M3 and don’t discontinue because of the POCO C55.

In short, get the POCO M3 instant of this, if you really want to use MIUI otherwise, we already have Moto G32.

Redmi 9 Prime

Specifications

6.53-inches HD+ LCD Display, MediaTek Helio G80 SoC Android 11 based on MIUI 13 13MP+2MP+2MP+2MP Rear Cameras, 8MP Front Cameras, 5,000mAh battery,

The MediaTek Helio G80 is a good processor for day-to-day usage, but it’s not the best for gaming at all. For example, if you only use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and small games then this is the best option after the POCO M3.

Also, as this is a Redmi phone, you will see ads here and there. For example, in most of Xiaomi’s stock apps.

In short, if you’re getting POCO M3 and Redmi 9 Power at the same price then go with POCO M3 but if the Redmi 9 Power is available at a lower price then skip the POCO M3.

Realme N55

Specifications

6.50-inches HD+ LCD Display, MediaTek Helio G35 SoC, Android 11 – Stock 13MP+2MP Rear Cameras, 8MP Front Cameras, 5,000mAh battery,

You know how Apple is calling the iPhone Notch “dynamic island” the same way, RealMe is calling the punch hole on RealMe N55 “Mini capsule”.

The problem is, we don’t have third-party app support yet and I doubt that app developer will optimize their app for this phone as RealMe is not paying much attention.

The MediaTek Helio G88 is a solid processor for day-to-day usage but don’t expect to play games like BGMI or even COD Mobile. The phone does have ads like MIUI, ColorOS, and even Fun Touch OS.

The good part is, it has a 5,000mAh battery along with 33W charging support which is rare to see under Rs 10,999. The 6.72-inch 90hz LCD display is solid too.

Now, this is not technically priced at Rs 10000 and that’s why I have added this to last but if you can add an extra Rs 1000 to your budget then consider RealMe N55 and you will be more than happy with its performance.

Conclusion

Motorola G32 is the best option under Rs 10000, It has everything from good design to clean Android UI but if you want more customization then do take a look at POCO M3.

Also, if you can go up to Rs 11000 then go with RealMe C55 as you have a better battery along with faster charging support while there is a Mini capsule which is a good add-on to have.
