Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime

Android v10 (Q)

Rs.9,499

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 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: Realme C15 enters the list with a whopping 6,000mAh battery and quad cameras at a budget price. The handset gets the basics right and then adds these two features at the top to make it an even sweeter deal.

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. Admittedly, the phone lacks any 'wow' factor as such but as it has been built with the aim to get things done, it manages to do its job. If you're looking for a phone that stands out from the crowd, Redmi 9 isn't the one but if you are looking for a phone that delivers reliably on most fronts, this is a good choice indeed.

Expert comment: After the hike in GST rates in April 2020, we were all worried for a while whether great value for money phones from Xiaomi and Realme will ever be available at as good prices as they were available earlier. Redmi 9A is a proof that those days are just around the corner again. The phone comes with modern aesthetics, decent processor, and a massive battery life to offer a decent deal for the price. While you will have to make some compromises in display and camera quality, at this price point, it should be understandable.
