Top 5 mobile phones under 10,000 in India

From a features and specifications perspective, expensive smartphones are frequently more attractive, yet the budget sector sees the majority of sales. Many people can now afford to buy smartphones since mobile data is getting more affordable. These days, even inexpensive smartphones include all the capabilities you’d find on more costly models, such as 4G connectivity, fingerprint scanners, high-resolution displays, and decent cameras.

Here is a list of the top mobile phones available right now that are under Rs. 10,000.

Micromax In 2b

The Micromax In 2b may not be a master of all trades, but it excels in a few areas, elevating it above rival smartphones. It uses basic hardware but comes with a Unisoc T610 SoC, a processor that has only been found in a small number of cellphones worldwide. Unexpectedly, the processor proved to be somewhat capable, performing admirably for everyday tasks and some light gaming—something unheard of in the entry-level mobile market. The software performance is quite slick owing to Android 11 and the absence of bloatware and third-party apps. With some gaming, the 5,000mAh battery efficiently runs for one and a half days, which is excellent.

Realme Narzo 30A

In Realme Narzo 30A, the fingerprint scanner is situated in the rear and is conveniently located. Additionally, the placement of the side-mounted power and volume controls is ideal. The 6.5-inch screen of the Realme Narzo 30A has a respectably large 20:9 aspect ratio. It contains two Nano-SIM slots and a specific slot for storage expansion, and the SIM tray is placed on the left side of the phone. With a large 6,000mAh battery inside, the Narzo 30A tips its weight at 207g and is distinctly heavy.

You receive an 18W charger, which is a nice bonus. Depending on the model you select, you receive a more potent MediaTek Helio G85 SoC along with either 3GB or 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. These variations have storage capacities of 32GB and 64GB, respectively. Storage can be increased by up to 256GB using a MicroSD card.

This phone does not come in any variations, but a microSD card can increase capacity by up to 1TB. Due to its IP52 certification, the Moto E40 ought to be splash-proof.

The Smart 5A’s operating system is Android 11 with XOS 7.6 on top of it (Go Edition). The User Interface has a few updations with a good number of preinstalled applications, and some of them send daily push notifications. Simple dual cameras with an 8-megapixel main camera and an additional AI (depth) camera make up the camera arrangement.
