It’s good to know that many great budget smartphones are on the way to India. They are made by different manufacturers, with different designs and specifications. Though, there is one similarity between them: very affordable price!

1. Panasonic Eluga Note: Rs. 12,920

Let’s see what we’ve got first in the best budget phones list. It is a Panasonic smartphone named Eluga Note. Although there is “Note” in its name, the phone is not as big as we expected. Instead, Panasonic Eluga Note specs include a common 5.5-inch Full HD display which is also good, rite?!

Additionally, a 1.3GHz octa-core chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM (+ 32GB), a combo of 16MP rear + 5MP front-facing camera, Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, 4G network, and a removable 3,000mAh battery are on board to help power the entire device. Panasonic Eluga Note price is around Rs. 13,000 for those who have interest in this phablet.

2. Coolpad Mega 2.5D: Rs. 6,999

Number 2 is Coolpad Mega 2.5D priced at Rs. 6,999. This machine is super affordable, yet its specifications are absolutely not bad at all. Under the hood, 3GB RAM, 16GB ROM (+ 32GB), a dual SIM, and CoolUI 8.0 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS are in charge of running the handset. On the front, there are a 5.5-inch HD screen and an 8MP f/2.2 sensor for taking selfies (maybe the company wanted to produce a budget selfie-centric phone). However, the sensor on the back is not very excellent: only 8MP with f/2.2, autofocus and LED flash. And Mega’s chip as well as battery are also humble: MediaTek MT6735P quad-core 1.0GHz and 2,500mAh. But, say, those are so okay for a sub Rs. 7K phone, huh?!

3. Xiaomi Redmi 3s: Rs. 6,999

Coming up next is Xiaomi Redmi 3s. It sports a handy 5.0-inch HD screen, a Snapdragon 430 octa-core 1.4GHz processor, 16GB of expandable ROM, 2GB of RAM, and MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS. Furthermore, there are a set of 13MP primary (with f/2.0, PDAF, plus LED flash) + 5MP f/2.2 secondary shooter, a 4,100mAh batt with fast charging technology on board. To be honest, this is a great deal you should not ignore.

4. Lenovo Vibe K5 Note: From Rs. 13,499

Next, we have Lenovo Vibe K5 Note, equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD LTPS IPS LCD display, a strong MediaTek Helio P10 chipset, Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, Dolby Atmos tech, a fingerprint scanner, 32GB of internal memory (expandable) coupled with 3/4GB RAM. About photography, you can use its 13MP main or 8MP secondary cam to take pictures. About energy, a decent 3,500mAh cell is in charge of fueling the whole device.

5. OPPO F1S: Rs. 17,990

Number 5 is OPPO F1S, a true selfie expert. If there is just a standard 13MP camera on the back, you would be amazed by what F1S has on the front: a 16MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture, beautify 4.0 software and capability of recording 1080p videos. Other OPPO F1S specs are also good: a 5.5-inch HD IPS LCD screen, Color OS 3.0 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, a Mediatek MT6750 octa-core 1.5GHz processor, 32GB ROM (expandable), 3GB RAM, a fingerprint scanner, and a 3,075mAh cell.

6. ZTE Axon Mini: Rs. 23,599

Okay, let’s continue our best budget phones list with ZTE Axon Mini. Nonetheless, it’s not mini at all, huh?! ZTE Axon Mini specs contain a 5.2-inch Full HD display, a Snapdragon 616 octa-core chip, MiFavor 3.2 based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS, a fingerprint scanner, a 2,800mAh batt, 32GB of internal storage (expandable) paired with 3GB RAM.

7. Xiaomi Mi Max: Rs. 14,999 / 19,999

We’re so glad that Xiaomi Mi Max is also coming. If you like a big phablet, wait for it. Xiaomi Mi Max specs offer a large 6.44-inch Full HD display, a Snapdragon 650/652 chip set. Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS with MIUI 7 on top, 3/4GB of RAM paired with 32/64/128GB of expandable ROM (please note that only 4GB RAM Mi Max will have 128GB ROM). In addition, Max packs a brilliant 16MP primary plus a decent 5MP selfie cam to capture things, and a huge 4,850mAh cell. Nevertheless, since there is no fast charging tech, you may take quite a long time to replenish the batt.

8. Xiaomi Redmi Pro

Here is another Xiaomi smartphone: Redmi Pro. It’s also the latest budget model of the firm, which means you’re gonna have many modern features as well. So, what does Xiaomi Redmi Pro carry to be exact?
