Redmi 9 Prime
Redmi 9 Prime is one of the best smartphone available Under the Rs 10,000 in India. The phone has MediaTek Helio G80 processor, huge 5,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support and it comes with 6.53 inches FHD+ display with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolutions.
If your budget is under 10k then this is the best you got, don’t look for anything else. The Redmi 9 Prime price in India starts from Rs 9,999 for 4GB of Ram + 64GB storage and it’s available at Amazon. The phone does have some cons which I have discussed in the Redmi 9 Prime Review but still, I would say, at 10k, this is the phone you can buy.

POCO M2
POCO M2 is newly launched phone from POCO, this is re-brand version of Redmi 9 prime with little bit improvement. The phone has 6GB of Ram and 64GB storage and it’s priced at Rs 10,999 while Redmi 9 prime is priced at Rs 9,999 for 4GB + 64GB. So if you want extra 2GB Ram and 18W fast charger in the box then I would say, just go with POCO M2.
POCO M2 is also powered by MediaTek Helio G80 processor and it’s running on MIUI 11 based on Android 10, this phone won’t have ads while Redmi 9 Prime does have ads in the UI. Overall, POCO M2 is a good option as compared to Redmi 9 Prime but if you can’t go above 10k then still, Redmi 9 Prime is a good option.

| Available At | Buy@Flipkart |
POCO M2 Pro
POCO M2 Pro is re-brand version of Redmi Note 9 Pro but it has some extra features which you won’t find in Redmi Note 9 Pro, so it’s better to go with POCO M2 Pro. The phone has Snapdragon 720G processor, huge 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support and it’s priced at Rs 13,999.
Everything about POCO M2 is just amazing, this is the best phone you can buy at 14k in India. Also, POCO M2 Pro doesn’t have the ads in the UI which is another bonus point. One more thing, POCO M2 Pro is available on Flipkart 24/7, so you don’t have to wait for a flash sale, you can buy whenever you want.
| Display | 6.67 inch (20:9) |
| Ram | 4GB | 6GB |
| Storage | 64GB | 128GB |

| Camera (Front) | 16MP |
| Chipset | Snapdragon 720G (8nm) |
| Battery | 5,020 mAh (33W) |
RealMe 7
Now, if your budget is about 15k then don’t look for anything else just go with newly launched RealMe 7. The phone is powered by all-new MediaTek Helio G95 processor, huge 5,000 mAh battery with 30W fast charging support, 90Hz screen refresh rate. This is the best phone for gamers because it comes with MediaTek Helio G95 processor which is built for gaming, this will give you next-level gaming experience at the budget price range.
This is too have some cons which I discussed in the RealMe 7 Review, so before you place order make sure you read review.
| Display | 6.50 inches FHD+ LCD display |
| Ram | 6GB | 8GB Ram |
| Storage | 64GB | 128GB Storage |
| Camera (Rear) | 64 MP Primary (Sony IMX682 sensor) 8 MP Ultra-Wide 2 MP Macro 2 MP Depth |

| Price | 6GB Ram + 64GB storage: Rs 14,999 8GB Ram + 128GB storage: Rs 16,999 |

POCO X2
If you want the best smartphone under 20k then just go with POCO X2, it’s an allrounder. The phone has Snapdragon 730G processor, 4,500 battery with 27W fast charging support, Dual selfie camera setup, 120Hz screen refresh rate. POCO X2 price in India starts from Rs 17,499 for 6GB of Ram + 64GB storage. If you want value for money phone then this is the one you got.
By the way, POCO X3 is launching on 22nd September 2020 in India and this phone has better specifications the POCO X2 but it will be priced at about 20k for the base variant. So if you can spend 20k and wait for some time then POCO X3 would be a good option. I will add POCO X3 right here, once it’s launched in India.
| Display | 6.44 inch |
| Ram | 6 GB | 8 GB |
| Storage | 64 GB | 128 GB | 256 GB |
| Camera (Rear) | 64 MP Primary 8 MP Ultra Wide 2 MP Depth 2 MP Macro Lens |
| Camera (Front) | 20 MP + 2 MP |
| Chipset | Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G (8 nm) |
| Battery | 4,500 mAh (27W) |
RealMe 7 Pro
This phone has one thing which you won’t find in any other budget smartphone which 65W fast charging support and that 65W charger is also included in the box, so you don’t have to spend money to get a faster charger. Sadly, RealMe 7 Pro (review) comes with the same Snapdragon 720G proceesor which is kind outdated and it’s the best proceesor you can buy at Rs 19,999.
The phone also has plastic build which is also not that great, so overall, if you want that 65W fast charging support then RealMe 7 Pro is good option but if you’re okay with 27W fast charging support the still, I would say POCO X2 is the best buy over RealMe 7 Pro.
| Display | 6.40 inches FHD+ Display |
| Ram | 6GB | 8GB Ram |

| Price | 6GB Ram + 64GB storage: Rs 19,999 8GB Ram + 128GB storage: Rs 21,999 |

OnePlus Nord
After a long time, OnePlus has launched mid-budget centric smartphone and believe this is by far best phone you can buy under Rs 25,000 in India. The phone has newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor which has 5G support, 4,115 mAh battery with warp 30T fast charging support, 90Hz AMOLED display and best build quality.
Overall, OnePlus Nord (review) is a balanced phone, it’s not like, this is the best you got but what OnePlus is offering at 25k is value for money. So if you want to buy a new phone at 25k then OnePlus Nord is the best option for you.
| Display | 6.44 inches FHD+ Display |
|---|---|
| Ram | 6GB | 8GB |12GB |
| Storage | 64GB | 128GB| 256GB |

| Chipset | Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G |
| Battery | 4,115 mAh (non-removable) |
| Price | 6GB Ram + 64 storage: Rs 24,999 8GB Ram + 128 storage: Rs 27,999 12GB Ram + 256GB storage: Rs 29,999 |
| Available At | BUY@Amazon |
OnePlus 7T
Still, in 2020 I would say OnePlus 7T is a good option. The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, it also has 3,800 mAh battery with Warp Charge 30T fast charging support, best build quality, good camera quality. Overall, OnePlus 7T is a good option at Rs 34,999 in India.
I’m using OnePlus 7T for six months and yet, I haven’t had any problem in performance, it’s working fine. I have also re-reviewed OnePlus 7T after six months. So if you’re okay with 2019 smartphone and that circular rear camera the this is the best option. Keep in mind, the cameras is not the best on OnePlus 7T but it’s not worst also, so if you want best cameras then you have to wait for Pixel 4A which will out in October 2020 in India.
| Display | 6.55 inches (90Hz) |

OnePlus 8
If you want 5G and new design in your next phone then yes you can buy OnePlus 8 but if you don’t care about 5G and design then I would say, it’s not worth investing Rs 41,999 in OnePlus 8. If you can add a little bit more then I would recommend you go with OnePlus 8 Pro because this has everything that premium smartphone should have.
OnePlus 8 (review) is not bad phone but OnePlus has made some compromises in Camera department, they provided macro sensor instant of telephoto lens. I mean, they could have implemented macro lens in ultra-wide like what they did with OnePlus 7T but hey, this is what most of the companies are doing and OnePlus is part of that too.
| Display | 6.55 inches |
| Ram | 8GB | 12GB |
| Storage | 128GB | 256GB |
| Camera (Rear) | 48 MP Primary 48 MP Ultra-wide 2 MP Macro Lens |
| Camera (Front) | 16MP ( Sony IMX471) |
| Processor | Snapdragon 865 |
| Battery | 4300 mAh (non-removable) |
| Price | 8GB RAM + 128GB storage: Rs 41,999 |
| Available at | Buy@Amazon |
Asus ROG Phone 3
Absolutely, ROG Phone 3 (review) is worth buying at Rs 50,000. It’s not overpriced smartphone yet I would say, buy this phone only if you want a gaming smartphone because it doesn’t have a good camera setup.
Overall. ROG Phone 3 is not for everyone because at 55k you’re getting OnePlus 8 Pro, so there is no point to buy ROG Phone 3 but if you want gaming phone then ROG 3 is a better option then OnePlus 8 Pro. By the way, ROG Phone is also powered by Snapdragon 865+ processor and it does have 5G support. This is the best gaming phone you can buy at 50k, also, cameras is not that great on this.
| Display | 6.59 inches FHD+ Display |
| Ram | 8GB |12GB |
| Storage | 128GB | 256GB |

OnePlus 8 Pro
OnePlus 8 Pro comes with 6.78 inches QHD+ display, HDR 10/10+ support, 30W fast Wireless Charging, Snapdragon 865 chip with 5G connectivity, OxygenOS on top of Android 10, 120Hz screen refresh rate, IP68 waterproof, also it has Quad camera setup and the phone is priced at Rs 54,999 for 8GB and 128GB storage.
What else you need on a smartphone. I would say OnePlus 8 Pro is worth buying at 55k. There is nothing wrong with this phone, so if you want to buy a new phone and if your budget is above 50k then you can buy this phone, you won’t regret.
| Display | 6.78 inches |
| Ram | 8GB | 12GB |
| Storage | 128GB | 256GB |
| Camera (Rear) | 48 MP Primary 48 MP Ultra-wide 8 MP Telephoto Lens 5 MP Color Filter Lens |
| Camera (Front) | 16MP ( Sony IMX471) |
| Chipset | Snapdragon 865 (7nm) |
| Battery | 4510 mAh (non-removable) |
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Yes, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is worth buying because it has everything expect a good processor, I mean Exynos 990 is a good one but it’s not good as Snapdragon 865+ Plus. Still, I would say, If you have 1 lakh budget then Galaxy note 20 Ultra is value for money smartphone, you won’t have any problem after buying.
If I want to buy 1 lakh smartphone then I would wait for the iPhone 12 series because I’m investing in a flagship smartphone, so I want the best phone available in the market. There is no doubt Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a great phone but Samsung is offering Exynos 990 chips in India and that’s where I think, going with iPhone is a good choice.
| Display | 6.9 inches QHD+ display |
| Ram | 12GB |
| Storage | 256GB |

| Battery | 4,500 mAh (non-removable) |
| Price | 12GB Ram + 256GB storage: Rs 1,04,999 |
| Available At | BUY@Amazon |

Also, I haven’t mentioned all the Mobiles because some of them are just re-brand version but I have added those phones in the table which you will find the beginning of this post
