Best Mobile Phones Under 10000 in India

Pricebaba Says: Xiaomi’s latest offering in the Redmi Note series is a major upgrade for the whole lineup. From the glass-sandwich design to the waterdrop notch on the display, the Redmi Note 7 marks a new beginning for the Redmi series. Apart from the aesthetics, the phone also comes with loaded Snapdragon 660 SoC, 12MP AI rear camera and a good 6.3-inch display. Therefore, its not without a reason that Redmi Note 7 has been crowned the reigning champ in the Indian budget segment.

Pricebaba Says: Xiaomi launched the Redmi Y-series of smartphone in India with an intention to offer powerful selfie cameras in budget segment. The Redmi Y3 is the latest in the series and comes flaunting the new design philosophy that Xiaomi seems to have adopted including glossy make with waterdrop notch display. Keeping up with the reputation of the Y-series, the Y3 comes packing a 32MP shooter on the front. On the specs front, the smartphone packs a decent Snapdragon 632 SoC and 3GB RAM. In short, the Redmi Y3 is a striped down Redmi Note 7 with a more powerful selfie camera.

Pricebaba Says: With a glossy gradient design and nearly bezel-less display with a waterdrop notch, the Realme 3 can easily fool anyone into thinking that it’s a more expensive smartphone. It comes loaded with dual cameras on the back, a beefy 4,230mAh battery, and good display quality. The smartphone has also performed impressively on various benchmarks including AnTuTu, so good performance is assured. The Realme 3 offers some serious competition to the Redmi series in India.

Pricebaba Says: The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 improves upon its successor by leaps and bounds. Not only has the brand upgraded to a more premium glass sandwich design, but has also increased the display size and equipped it with a more powerful Snapdragon 660 processor. Further, the smartphone boots the latest iteration of Android software in its stock avatar. Add to the mix the 5,000mAh battery and you have a no brainer in your hand. However, the phone sports the more conventional display notch size from last year, which might be an eyesore in the era of waterdrop notches and display piercings.

Pricebaba Says: The Realme U1 is a budget selfie-centric smartphone from the brand that also offers a decent spec-sheet to the user. The highlight of the U1 is 25MP selfie camera that’s sitting in the dewdrop-shaped notch on the front and dual-camera on the back. The smartphone is also one of the very few in the budget segment to offer an impressive screen-to-body ratio of over 90 percent. A large immersive display with full HD resolution, powerful selfie shooter, decent Helio P70 processor and attractive design, Realme U1 is a commendable option under Rs 10,000 in India.

Pricebaba Says: The ASUS ZenFone Max M2 builds up from where ZenFone Max M1 left off and comes across as a worthy successor. ASUS has equipped the smartphone with a large display featuring a notch and HD+ resolution to make it more relevant. You also get Qualcomm's latest budget Snapdragon 632 SoC, which is a plus given the price tag of the handset. A decent dual camera module on the back, stock Android operating system and 4,000mAh battery, you have everything you need at this price. However, the phone misses out in the aesthetics department since it features a sedate metal finish on a polycarbonate body.

Pricebaba Says: The Nokia 3.2's USP is stock Android Pie, a promise of regular software and security updates and a dedicated Google Assistant key. The phone offers a large display and massive battery, which will easily last you a day. It also flaunts a robust build quality with slab-like glossy design, and is among the first Nokia phones to feature a waterdrop notch. However, if you are a power user, you will find the Snapdragon 429 SoC tad underwhelming.

Pricebaba Says: The Samsung Galaxy M10 comes flaunting the South Korean giant’s Infinity-V display, which is just another term for a waterdrop notch and it means you get an impressive screen-to-body ratio. The smartphone features a dual camera module, which comprises of an ultra-wide angle lens that is a first under Rs 10,000 in India. A solid design, large display and decent battery life makes Samsung Galaxy M10 a commendable option at this price point. However, a dated Exynos 7 series processor means you get less than commendable performance out of it.

Pricebaba Says: The most affordable offering in the Samsung Galaxy A-series is also the most interesting one from the brand. Despite being one of the more affordable options from the brand, Samsung has not cut many corners. The phone comes with an impressive display for the price, with a 6.22-inch Infinity-V screen and a Super AMOLED panel. The smartphone also packs a 3,400mAh battery that is large enough to go all day on a single charge. However, you will have to compromise a bit when it comes to cameras and performance.

Pricebaba Says: The Realme 2 gets props for using a stunning glass back panel with a diamond pattern and a huge display with a notch up top. While the internals of the phone are a bit dated as it has a Snapdragon 450, it can still handle casual games and basic tasks with ease thanks to the 3GB RAM onboard. A massive 4,230mAh battery, good pair of cameras on the back and offline availability of the phone makes it one of the best contenders in the sub-Rs 10,000 category.
