Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime

Android v10 (Q)

Rs.9,499

See more prices

Expert comment: Redmi 9 Prime came like a breath of fresh air in the market that was disrupted by the price hikes due to change in GST rates in India. The handset is priced below Rs 10,000 but you get a quad camera setup, a really good processor, good battery life, and even fast charging support with the Redmi 9 Prime. While Xiaomi was losing its charm with the aggressive push from Realme and Samsung in last year, Redmi 9 Prime put the brand back in the driving position for this price segment.

Expert comment: Realme Narzo 30A comes as a successor to the Narzo 20A and carries on the reputation of the affordable smartphone series in every way possible. Here you get a really good processor at the helm to take care of demanding tasks but there is also a massive battery included so that the phone doesn't run out of juice while handling these requirements. The display panel is one of the finest that you can get for this price and the inclusion of USB Type-C means that the handset is compatible with the most common modern charging accessories. Hard to go wrong with this one.

Expert comment: Realme Narzo 20A enters the list with some impressive specs that can rival the very best phones in this price segment.

Expert comment: Remember the times when you had to compromise on various fronts when buying a budget phone? Realme C3 is testament to the fact that times have changed. With Realme C3, you get a premium-looking handset that offers a clean UI and a fullscreen display view.The handset even manages to offer 2-day battery life, a feat that is matched by few phones in the market regardless of the price range. The camera department could have been better but you can only point this out if you forget the retail price of this phone in the first place.

Expert comment: It is still rare to see phones with 6,000mAh battery under Rs 10,000 in India and even rarer to see such offering from one of the bigger brands. Realme C12 is one such unicorn as it offers this gigantic battery capacity, in addition to some neat specs all around, to deliver a holistic package in this price category. While Realme C12 has still room for improvement when it comes to camera quality, the other aspects of the phone definitely make a strong case for the handset.

Expert comment: Redmi 9 from Xiaomi is a no-nonsense offering that is aimed at those users who want a daily driver that offers good specs across the board without digging a deep hole in pocket.

Expert comment: Samsung's affordable Galaxy M02s is a smartphone that serves as a good entry point to the brand's smartphones. While you don't get the Samsung FHD+ display panel that ships with higher priced phones here, you do get some nifty features such as USB Type-C charging port, a great battery life, and a triple camera setup. Truth be told, the chipset on the phone is a bit dated but for the price, it does the job.
