[Gadgest] The Best Phones Under Rs. 10,000 You Can Buy In India

[-WAIL]

When it comes to entry-level smartphones, the main focus has always remained similar over the years. These smartphones have always been about big displays and battery life but not much else. But with better hardware, this focus has deviated a bit over time. Apart from delivering the basics, bigger displays and batteries also mean that the focus is now on entertainment. A quality speaker or stereo speakers are a welcomed addition at this price. HD displays are common, but full-HD displays are still rare. Basic gaming is also possible in this segment and surprisingly, you can find high refresh rate displays as well.

Our newest addition to the sub-Rs. 10,000 smartphone guide is the Infinix Hot 11S. Launched at Rs. 10,999, it recently received a price cut and is now available online at around Rs. 9,499. Here are the best smartphones in India under Rs. 10,000, in no particular order.

Realme C31

The Realme C31 performs well as a daily driver for casual use. The phone looks modern and stylish and at first glance, it's tough to tell that it's actually a budget device. The 5,000mAh battery is also sufficient to deliver good battery life. While the SoC can handle basic multitasking and social apps, gaming isn't exactly its forte, which means you'll need to stick to casual games at best on this one.

The cameras on the C31 could've been better and we didn't like the fact that Portrait mode only works with human subjects. We think it's best if you get the higher RAM and storage variant of the Realme C31, instead of the base model, since that price difference is not much and it should offer better performance in the long run.
