Best Camera Mobile Phones Under 10,000 (Sep 2024)

Verdict: The itel Color Pro 5G delivers impressive value for its price. It provides excellent performance output, comes with 5G support, has versatile cameras that offer good results even in low-light environments, and has a long battery life. If you`re looking to purchase a well-rounded 5G smartphone under Rs 10,000, the itel Color Pro 5G is an easy recommendation.

Verdict: The itel A70 is a viable option for those seeking an entry-level smartphone. The handset features a good design, display, and satisfactory camera performance for basic photography needs. However, individuals seeking a relatively clean software experience and a long-lasting battery life may need to explore other options.

Verdict: The itel S24 is an ideal smartphone for users who want an affordable, yet capable device that delivers on key essentials. It offers a good multimedia experience with its large display, paired with impressive stereo speakers with DTS support, reliable battery life, sleek design, and good daylight cameras. On the flip side, it doesn`t offer 5G support and the performance is a bit lacking. 

Verdict: The Lava Blaze 2 5G emerges as a compelling choice in the budget smartphone market. Despite its conventional budget-friendly aesthetics, the device distinguishes itself with the inclusion of the `Ring Light` feature. Additionally, the phone delivers reliable performance for everyday use, and its commendable battery life adds to its appeal. The display and cameras could have been better.

Verdict: The Moto G04 can serve as your go-to entry-level smartphone. It excels at handling basic tasks and comes with the latest software that provides one of the cleanest experiences within the segment. The cameras and other aspects of the smartphone are good, if not better than its competitors.

Verdict: Infinix Hot 40i is a no-nonsense device that gets the basics right and delivers on some key fronts. The highlight features here are the phone`s impressive display, useful software features, and a segment-leading 32MP selfie camera, which is unheard of in this price category. If you want to buy a feature-rich phone under Rs 10,000 that shoots good selfies and will help you elevate your social media game, this could be a solid choice.

Verdict: The itel P55 4G stands as a solid offering at a price of Rs 7,499. The smartphone delivers a capable display with a smooth refresh rate of 90Hz, good daylight cameras for the segment, a stellar battery life, and respectable performance output.

Verdict: The POCO C65 is a decent option for entry-level smartphone users. Whether for watching videos on YouTube or using WhatsApp, the phone can handle these tasks with negligible stutters. Its new 256GB storage option will excite some customers, but I do feel that this variant is an overkill for the segment. If you have a Rs 10,000 budget, the POCO M6 5G is a better choice with a more powerful chipset and 5G support.

Verdict: The iTel P55 offers remarkable value for the price, with 5G being the cherry on top. The handset delivers reliable performance for everyday tasks, long battery life, and a decent viewing experience, though it may struggle in direct sunlight. The cameras might not be its strongest suit, but you will have less to complain about in daylight.

Verdict: The Moto G14 is a handset that is ideal for light tasks. The phone offers decent camera quality, clean software, and good battery backup. However, the phone does struggle when it comes to demanding tasks. Having said that, as a budget phone that is a touch shy of the Rs 10,000 mark, the phone presents itself as a good multimedia companion with long battery backup.

Verdict: What Realme C55 is to Flipkart, the Realme Narzo N55 is to Amazon. The two devices are nearly identical except for their designs and RAM capacity. The top-end Realme Narzo N55 variant is equipped with 6GB RAM instead of 8GB, but it may still be a better choice than the Realme C55 if you are looking for more storage in the sub-Rs 13,000 price range.

Verdict: The Realme C55 has a lot going for it. The handset features an attractive design, is a decent performer, and has capable primary and selfie cameras for daylight photography. The mini capsule looks interesting and has the potential to be a game-changer. However, the phone falls short in a few areas, due to which it isn`t an easy recommendation.

Verdict: The POCO C55 comes across as a good smartphone for buyers who don`t mind its slightly dated OS (Android 12) and slow 10W charging via micro-USB. The phone is nicely built and powerful enough to handle regular usage. The display, cameras, and battery are also up to the mark.

Verdict: The Infinix Hot 20 Play works out just fine. The handset scores well on key aspects such as the battery life, display, and cameras, but could do with better performance. The Infinix Hot 20 Play would have been a good everyday-use device for everyone had it gone with a better chipset and a near stock-Android software.
