best mobiles phone under 20,000

Verdict: The Infinix Note 40 Pro MagCharge feature is quite interesting for an Android smartphone. The handset also boasts a unique battery management chip along with wireless charging capabilities. These enhancements complement the Note 40 Pro appealing design and reliable performance across the board. The storage is not expandable, and there is no ultrawide camera, but other than that, the phone delivers on many aspects.

Verdict: If you are an Amazon buyer and looking for a good mid-range smartphone with decent performance, battery life, and viewing experience, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro might be a good buy. The inclusion of the Air Gesture feature appears promising, although it may require some refinement before it becomes truly useful.

Verdict: The iQOO Z9 5G is easily one of the best-performing phones in the sub-Rs 20,000 right now thanks to the Dimensity 7200 chipset. Additionally, you get a bright and attractive display along with dependable battery life, making a solid all-round device in this segment. However, the camera system lacks versatility and the company only promises two years of software updates.

Verdict: The Redmi Note 13 Pro won`t disappoint if sleek design, fast charging, good battery, and cameras matter to you. It also offers one of the best displays in the segment. Additionally, the native reading mode continues to make the reading experience pleasant. However, the phone is still awaiting the Android 14, while other OEMs have already started offering it out of the box. The Note 13 Pro cameras perform reliably in daylight, but low light performance still needs some improvements.

Verdict: The POCO X6 5G is one of the best phones you can buy around the Rs 20,000 mark right now in India. The handset offers solid performance, a brilliant display, and fast charging speeds. While the low-light camera performance leaves you wanting for more, this phone is easy to recommend due to its performance prowess.

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a reliable, future-ready device well-suited for everyday needs. The handset is designed to last through 2030 and is a good option for those looking to enter the Samsung ecosystem down the line. Battery life comfortably covers a full day of light us. The camera setup, featuring an ultrawide lens, has the added functionality of capturing landscape images; however, the image quality may be modest for those seeking high-end photography.

Verdict: The Realme Narzo 70 Turbo delivers solid performance for everyday tasks and gaming, offers good battery life, fast charging, and a vibrant display. Its cameras perform well in daylight, although low light shots could use improvement. If you`re after a phone that delivers satisfactory all-around performance under Rs 20,000, the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo is a good option.

Verdict: The iQOO Z9s` battery life is one of its strongest aspects, helping it stand out in its price segment, and the phone also shines on the design and display front. Moreover, the handset`s performance ranks second in its class, just behind its predecessor, the iQOO Z9. The cameras are decent but could have benefitted from some improvements to better compete with rivals. The software comes with standard two years of major software updates.

Verdict: For dialy work, the Samsung Galaxy M35 5G is a good choice, especially if battery life matters to you. Samsung has also been thoughtful to add NFC support, which may help users relying significantly on digital transactions. The new Exynos chipset provides improved performance over last year`s model. However, Samsung still needs to improve the low-light camera performance, perhaps in the next iteration. Reducing the weight without compromising battery capacity would also be a significant step forward.

Verdict: The Moto G85 is arguably the most premium-looking smartphone in its segment. Its near-bezel-less pOLED curved screen and Dolby Atmos speakers deliver an impressive viewing experience. The battery life is commendable, and the camera capabilities produce social media-ready images with ease. However, the Moto G85 falls short in performance compared to its competitors, which makes it difficult to recommend despite its other strengths.

Verdict: The OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is all about the display and battery, even though the company boasts its upgraded camera system. The design has changed, which I quite like, though I would`ve preferred different colour options. OnePlus also took a big bet by retaining the same Qualcomm chipset powering the Nord CE3 Lite. You won`t face issues with daily work, but gaming may require more juice. OnePlus also needs to focus on improving low-light photography on its budget offerings.

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy F55 5G shares a stark similarity with the Galaxy M55 (review), which is Amazon.in exclusive. The new F-series phone, meanwhile, is available online via Flipkart and surpasses the M-series in terms of design. The F55`s vegan leather back is particularly commendable. Additionally, the phone delivers respectable performance across most aspects.

Verdict: With the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, the Narzo 70 can handle even demanding tasks efficiently. In its price range, the phone offers one of the best displays and a decent camera performance. However, it does struggle with capturing skin tones accurately and the selfie camera performance in low-light situations has room for improvement. Overall, this phone is a good buy for the price if your priority is performance.

Verdict: While the Realme P1 Pro may not stand out significantly in terms of specifications or real-world performance, it remains a smartphone worth considering. The handset delivers satisfactory performance and viewing experiences, complemented by stereo speakers and reliable battery support.

Verdict: Tecno POVA 6 Pro comes with meaningful upgrades over its predecessor and shines in aspects like the vibrant display, long battery life, fast charging speed, and useful software features. One of the key aspects missing from the handset, which was also missing on its predecessor, is an ultra-wide sensor. The smartphone`s introductory pricing of Rs 17,999 makes it a good deal, but for the full price of Rs 19,999, it does need more thought.

Verdict: The Vivo T3 5G is a well-rounded phone under Rs 20,000. Not only does it get one of the fastest chipsets in this price range, but it also offers a good-looking design, a bright display, and better battery life compared to its predecessor. However, the fact that the phone comes with tons of pre-loaded apps and the promise of only two major software updates could make it less appealing than some of the alternatives in this segment.

Verdict: The Realme 12 is a compelling smartphone for average smartphone users. While it may not outshine its competitors in terms of performance, its price makes it a worthy consideration. The smartphone boasts a beautiful design, likeable daylight cameras, and dependable performance. The viewing experience could have been better.

Verdict: The Realme 12+ should appeal to you if you are looking for a smartphone under Rs 25k with an attractive back panel, decent performance, excellent battery life, and a respectable viewing experience. It even comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack – so, go ahead and jack it up with your wired headphones/ earphones.

Verdict: The OPPO F25 proves to be a reliable smartphone if design, cameras, and battery performance matter to you. It also boasts a tall 6.7-inch AMOLED display, which offers punchy colours. However, the viewing experience gets slightly hampered due to the lack of stereo speakers. There`s Android 14-based ColorOS out-of-the-box, though the pre-installed apps make the experience cluttered. If these things don`t matter, the OPPO F25 Pro is a decent choice considering the price.

Verdict: The Realme 13 5G offers solid battery life, reliable cameras, and handy software features. It lacks an AMOLED display, however, which significantly enhances the multimedia experience, and its pricing feels a bit high for what it provides. If battery life and cameras are important aspects for you, the phone is worth considering.
