Everyone would love to have the best gadgets available in the market but these gadgets are really high priced. We need to have a trade-off between the best technology and low price. Not everyone has a budget of Rs.30,000 for buying a phone. Most people like to have phone for around Rs.10000 which should have most of the high end features and functionality.
Here are a list of few budget phones for rupees 5000-10000 which have features at par with the high end phones.
Micromax Canvas Lite A92 - This is one the best phones that are available at the sub-Rs.10,000 range. Some of the key features of this phone are -

Micromax canvas lite A92 provides a really amazing experience for a regular mobile user. It has a Dual SIM card facility which most of the phones don't offer. It has 5 MP primary camera which is the best in this range. A good processor and 5.0 inch IPS touch screen makes it one of the best combination.

ReplyDeleteI am waiting for sub 5k phones...
ReplyDeleteHi Gaurab,
ReplyDeleteI have a suggestion. You should include the RAM along with the phone specifications. RAM is one of the important features of the phone. And I have seen that most of the low priced phones have low RAM, which is a major advantage. I think you should give more importance to this.
Thanks Gaurab for the informative post but you haven't given Exact price of the phones.

Very informative post Gaurab. I recently bought Asus Zenfone 5. Another smart budget phone.
ReplyDeleteHokay!! WHERE IS THE MENTION OF MOTO G Mr. Gaurab? :D It's the BEST phone!! Even a Samsung note can't beat it! :)
ReplyDeleteThe micromax one sounds pretty cool Gaurab. I have never really fancied Nokia, esp with Windows it seems like they made the choice easier. I would rather go with something having an android support which is much faster.
