For smartphone users in the country, there is no dearth of options. Regardless of one’s budget, you can find exceptional smartphone models in every price segment. The entry of Xiaomi into the Indian smartphone marketplace turned things around forever. Before the Chinese smartphone OEM came to India, we had to settle for what was available, without possibly asking for more. For instance, before 2014, if you had to purchase a mobile phone for less than Rs. 10,000, you had to look at local smartphone brands like Micromax, Karbonn, Intex or Lava, or even the likes of LG for a decent smartphone.
However, today, you can get excellent models from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, and indian mobile companies with 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and decent cameras, all available for less than Rs. 10,000! This is indeed a remarkable change, but it doesn’t just apply for the budget segment. In the mid-range segment, you can find impressive models that come with AMOLED displays, 6,000mAh batteries, 6-8GB RAM, and fast processors — everything you once thought would only be available with flagship models.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a smartphone in 2021, we have curated a list of the best smartphones from all the price segments for your convenience.
iPhone 12 Pro
The creme-de-la-creme of smartphones, the iPhone 12 Pro is arguably the best mobile in India. It comes with the new LiDAR sensor for better auto-focus when it is dark, while is powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chipset. Apple optimizes its iPhones so that they are extremely powerful, and this device comes equipped with 6GB RAM. That said, there is no other smartphone today that can out-perform the iPhone 12 Pro, which makes it the best high-end smartphone available in the market.
OnePlus 8 Pro
Now we come to flagship smartphone models. OnePlus has been consistently delivering best-in-class flagship devices for the past few years, and OnePlus 8 Pro does not disappoint either. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, this smartphone houses two 48MP cameras at the back, along with telephoto lens. Coming to its display, the smartphone flaunts a mesmerizing QHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, making it one of the best gaming smartphones to own. Providing the much-coveted and vaunted OnePlus experience, this device is certainly one of the best models you can find in its price range.
Moto G 5G
From flagship devices, we come down to the mid-range segment. The Moto G 5G is priced around Rs. 20,000, and it boasts of all the features and specifications you would need in a smartphone. The device is powered by the Qualcomm SM7225 Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset, and comes with 6GB RAM. It also sports an exquisite 6.7-inch HDR 10 display, and flaunts a 48MP camera at the back, and a 16MP selfie camera to boot.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max
Given the sheer number of options in the sub-15,000 segment, it is difficult to find the phone with best camera under 15000 INR. However, the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max certainly gives it a fair shot. This model comes with a whopping 64MP rear camera, and a 32MP front camera, which is something you might not even find at Rs. 25,000! Redmi Note 9 Pro Max also boasts of 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while housing a massive 5,020mAh Li-Poly battery under the hood. It sounds too good to be true, but that has what made Xiaomi the undisputed leader in the smartphone industry.
Realme Narzo 20A
We now look at the best mobile phone under Rs. 10,000, and there are only a few worthy contenders that can go toe-to-toe with Realme Narzo 20A. Boasting 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while housing a massive 5,000mAh battery, Narzo 20A is an exceptional budget smartphone that operates flawlessly.
