Best phones under Rs 11,000

Every year, budget phones push the limit of how far they can stretch your rupee. These are some of the best options

Realme C25.Y

Rs 10,699

Realme releases a lot of products and it can get tedious to find the right one for you. However, hidden amongst the clutter is the Realme C25.Y. The phone runs a new Unisoc T618 processor, which according to tests, performs slightly better than the Helios G85. That is not the only place where this particular phone stands out. While it has the standard 4GB RAM it does come with 128GB of internal space that can be expanded by 256GB via MicroSD. The screen size is 6.5inches with an HD+ resolution. The device has a triple camera setup on the rear with a 50MP main unit, on the front, it has an 8MP camera. The phone comes with a 5000mAh battery. The problem here is compared to Mediatek and Qualcomm, the processor is relatively new and would require a leap of faith.

Infinix Hot 10s

Rs 9,999

The Infinix Hot 10s offers a large 6.82-inch screen with a 90hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. However, the screen resolution is not Full HD. Rather, it is a respectable HD+ (1640x720). The phone has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The storage can be expanded by 256GB via microSD. The processor is a MediaTek Helio G85 which is pretty good for mid-level gaming and matches well with the HD screen. The 6000mAh battery is promising too. Among the list here, this is our choice for budget gamers. Hot 10s has a triple camera setup with a 48MP main camera and a quad-LED flash. The front-facing camera is an 8MP and comes with a dual-LED flash.

Motorola G10 Power

Rs 10,499

If you are looking for something with more brand value, this budget Motorola ticks all the right boxes. For starters, this phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 Processor which is good for everyday use but may not be best if you want to play heavy games on the device. The screen is 6.5-inches and has an HD+ resolution. The phone has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal space that can be expanded via microSD. The G10 Power has a quad-camera setup at the rear with a 48MP main, the front-facing camera is 8MP. The device runs on an impressive 6000mAh battery. The G10 Power runs on near-stock Android 11 making the device pretty peppy to use despite its specs. If you are looking for a Qualcomm processor in this budget, this one is possibly the best option.

Techno Spark 8 Pro

Rs 10,999

Techno Spark 8 Pro is the most expensive phone on this list. However, for this price, the Spark 8 Pro adds some additional interesting features over its competitors. The 6.8-inch screen is FullHD+ boasting a 90.52 per cent screen to body ratio and 120Hz touch sampling rate. The phone has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage which can be expanded with a 512GB MicroSD. Additionally, the phone can use 3GB of internal storage as RAM to boost its performance.

Poco M2 Reloaded

Rs 9,999

The Poco M2 was released early last year and despite that, it is still one of the best budget phones you can buy.
