Best Mobile Phones Under 8000 in India

Expert comment:   Realme 3i, despite its low price tag, manages to offer some really impressive features. The handset ships with a waterdrop notch design, which effectively offers a good screen estate along with a compact form factor. The handset ships with a MediaTek chipset that handles day to day tasks rather well, until pushed against the wall by slightly demanding applications. Thankfully the pocket-friendly price does not compromise on the image quality offered by the cameras on the Realme 3i. Also, did we mention the phone has a massive battery? Guess now we have.

Expert comment:   Although Zenfone Max M1 was not a particularly breakthrough smartphone, the Max M2 brings along a host of improvements to the table. With the new phone in the series, you get Qualcomm's latest budget Snapdragon 632 SoC and a massive 4,000mAh battery. Additionally, the brand has included the notch display design to ensure that the phone feels modern by all means. As the phone costs less than the Pro variant, you get full value for your money.

Expert comment:   Samsung's new Galaxy M10 comes with an Infinity V display, which is essentially just Samsung’s term for a waterdrop notch. Despite being a budget phone, the Galaxy M10 packs a good display, provides solid battery backup, and comes with a minimalist yet elegant design. Moreover, the camera setups, both on the rear and the front, manage to take impressive pictures in different lighting conditions. Overall, the Galaxy M10 brings a whole load of features to the table at an affordable price.

Expert comment:   Despite being an affordable offering from the company, the Redmi 7 comes with a rather pleasant design, which is noteworthy as it was not the case with the brand's phones just a year ago. The handset ships with a full-HD display, which is still not common in this price range. The handset manages to offer a decent performance thanks to its reliable processor and offers good battery life, which has almost become a norm with the latest handsets from Xiaomi. If you are tight on budget and want a phone with good display, this should be your go-to choice.

Expert comment:   Samsung's latest entry to the Galaxy A series comes at an extremely affordable price but brings along some really interesting specs. The Galaxy A10 packs a 6.2-inch HD+ Super AMOLED display and a 3,400mAh non-removable battery. If we talk about optics, the handset packs a capable 13MP camera at the back, assisted by an LED flash to ensure good images even in low-light conditions. In this price range, this is one of the best handsets, along with Galaxy M10, that the brand offers.

Expert comment:   Realme C2 follows in the footsteps of last year's Realme C1 and offers great value for money in a revamped design. The handset features a waterdrop notch, which is still a rarity in this price range.There is a massive 4000mAh battery onboard, which fuels the handset to run through the day without breaking a sweat. With a diamond cut pattern, sleek design, and smooth performance, Realme C2 is one of the best well-rounded smartphones available in this price range. The display quality offered by the phone also makes a strong case in its favour.

Expert comment:   Drawing some of the aesthetic elements from the Zenfone Max Pro M1, the Max M1 comes with some really good specs for the price range. The budget offering from ASUS comes with a clean UI, good display, and a respectable battery life. The fingerprint sensor allows you to unlock the phone with convenience, which is not the case with some of the affordable phones.

Expert comment:   One of the very few handsets in this price range to feature a USB type-C charging port, Nokia 5.1 Plus comes with a rather premium design. Reminiscent of Nokia 6.1 Plus, the 5.1 Plus comes with Android One branding, much like the rest of the Nokia handsets. The phone features a fingerprint sensor at the rear and has dual rear cameras for clicking portrait shots. As it goes with all Nokia handsets, you get no bloatware and the handset serves stock iteration of Android with Go apps pre-installed.

Expert comment:   The Nokia 2.1 is priced affordably but the handset comes with some really exciting and useful features. The Android Oreo (Go Edition) smartphone runs stock iteration of the platform and offers a bloatware-free user experience. There is a massive battery onboard, which has been claimed to offer two days of battery life by the company. As Nokia has an excellent record in terms of delivering software updates, this can be a crucial point in the favour of the handset.

Expert comment:   Infinix has developed a reputation for offering good specifications at an extremely affordable price and the brand's Smart 2 is no different in terms of approach. The Smart 2 comes with an HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio. The handset packs capable 13MP and 8MP sensors, both assisted by LED flash, at rear and front, respectively. Simplistic design, decent battery life, and software-based bokeh support for the front camera make the handset a compelling buy.
