Looking at the smartphone market, the real competition is in the budget and affordable segments. With more and more manufacturers laying claim to this arena, devices are better and there's a lot to choose from. Here are the Top 5 smartphones that we recommend for a budget of Rs. 15,000
The new Canvas Nitro from Micromax is priced around the same as the new generation Moto G. The phone boasts an octa-core SoC though and delivers good performance with amazing battery life.
Price: Rs. 12,990
The second generation of the Moto G continues its legacy of good performance at an affordable price. The phone though is no longer the best in class performer that it once was. It remains a good buy though, especially for stock Android lovers.
Price: Rs. 12,999
The new line of smartphones from Nokia have finally hit the Indian market and amongst them is the Lumia 730. Touted as the selfie phone to buy, this device costs Rs. 17,999 and has a wide angle front camera for selfie lovers.
Price: Rs. 15,299
BlackBerry recently launched its flagship Passport smartphone in the country, but that takes nothing away from this affordable device. If you want an affordable BlackBerry smartphone then this would be worth the money.
Price: Rs. 13,750
Everything about this smartphone says best in class. There is no other device in this range that gives a 1080p display, Snapdragon 800 SoC and the kind of 13 MP camera that the Mi3 has. It's almost impossible to buy though, especially with Xiaomi halting its sales for a while now.
Price: Rs. 13,999
