7 BEST Mobile Phones under 10000 OCT 2019

Expensive smartphones are often more interesting from a feature and specification viewpoint, but the real volumes flow in the budget segment. With mobile data becoming more affordable, many more Indians can now afford to get onto the smartphone bandwagon. These days, even affordable smartphones come with all of the features you’d expect to see on more expensive devices, including high-resolution screens, good cameras, fingerprint sensors and 4G connectivity. We’ve put together a list of some of the best affordable smartphones – priced at under Rs. 10,000 – that you can buy today

1. REALME 5

Realme 5 runs on ColorOS 6.0.1, which features a flatter and simpler looking interface, closer to stock Android 9 Pie. You get a bunch of cutomosation options too such as gestures and shortcuts. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 665 SoC and comes in three varaints. The top-end version which we reviewed has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. App and gaming performance is good and the phone doesn’t heat up too much.

The Realme 5 has a 5000mAh battery, which easily lasts for a day and half or even more on one charge. Unfortunately, fast charging isnt supported. Overall, the Realme 5’s base variant (3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage) offers the best value at Rs. 9,999 but even the 128GB version at Rs. 11,999 is still good value, considering the overall package.

2. Redmi note 7s

The Redmi Note 7S is a budget smartphone from Xiaomi that sits between its Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro. Xiaomi has kept the design identical, hence it is hard to distinguish between these three smartphones. The Redmi Note 7S has a 6.3-inch full-HD+ display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for protection. We liked that the display had good viewing angles and was bright enough to be legible when outdoors.

3. Redmi note 7

The Redmi Note 7 features a glass front and back with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides. The phone feels incredibly premium, especially for its starting price of Rs. 9,999. The 6.3-inch LCD display produces decent colours and brightness level is also very good.

SPECIFICATION

4.Samsung Galaxy M20

The Samsung Galaxy M20 mobile is Samsung’s attempt to take on Xiaomi, Realme, Honor, and Asus in the fiercely competitive low-cost market. It offers specifications that are good enough to match these rivals, plus a very modern all-screen look with a waterdrop-style notch. The Exynos 7904 processor was designed specifically for the value segment in India, and works quite well. The display is large and crisp, and battery life is very good. However, the cameras are just mediocre, and Samsung’s UI is riddled with spammy ads and notifications. The Galaxy M20 will appeal to Samsung fans who are looking for great value.

5.Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2

The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2 mobile sports a big 6.26-inch display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and comes with multiple RAM and storage options. You get 3GB RAM with 32GB of storage, 4GB RAM with 64GB storage and 6GB RAM with 64GB of storage. The ZenFone Max Pro M2 is a dual SIM device with two nano SIM slots and has a dedicated microSD card slot. It supports 4G as well as VoLTE on both SIM slots. Asus offers a 5000mAh battery with this phone which helps it offer excellent battery life.

6. Realme u1

The Realme U1 mobile features a plastic body with a laminated back, which looks very nice. It also has a tiny ‘dewdrop’ notch and slim bezels on the sides. The phone supports dual 4G VoLTE and there’s a dedicated slot for a microSD card too. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P70 SoC, which offers very good app and gaming performance. ColorOS 5.2 also feature two new apps called ORoaming and Smart Scan, which are handy. The front 25-megapixel camera captures detailed selfies in daylight but struggles in low light. It’s the same for the rear camera too. Battery life is very good as the 3500mAh battery easily lasts a full day on a single charge.

SPECIFICATION

7.VIVO U11

Vivo U10 smartphone was launched on 24th September 2019. The phone comes with a 6.35-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 720×1544 pixels and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9.
