Smartphone­s in 2020 don't just cover the basics, it also offers features like in- display fingerprin­t sensors, gaming processors, high refresh rate display, internal cooling, multi- camera setups, glass- based designs and much, much more. Most smartphone­s sold in this segment are made by brands like Xiaomi, Realme, Samsung, Nokia and more, but after a GST rate hike on the sale of mobile phones, we have had to rearrange the rankings a bit. Top phones under 15,000 segment offer a good balance between powerful hardware and useful features. The under Rs. 15,000 price point is crucial to the Indian smartphone industry since it is accessible to a lot of people. Good camera technology has also trickled down to the sub Rs. 15,000 segment over the years giving people the option to capture good photos without paying a bomb for flagship devices. Some of the recent smartphone­s we have seen in this price point pack in as much as a 48- megapixel sensor. With so many options in the market, picking up a smartphone isn’t easy. But we’ve put together a list of the best phones under Rs. 15,000 for you. Over the years we have seen multiple manufactur­ers attempting to capture this segment by offering better cameras, faster processors, and better batteries. In order to be the best in this segment, manufactur­ers have flooded the sub- Rs. 15,000 price segment with a range of good smartphone­s.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 which was earlier exclusive to smartphone­s above Rs. 20,000 is now available under Rs. 15,000. You can also find mightier processors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675, and MediaTek Helio P70 at this price point, giving users powerful hardware at a bargain price.

Realme Narzo 10

The Realme Narzo 10 is a low-cost phone that claims to offer a great experience for young gamers thanks to the MediaTek Helio G80 SoC. It has an interestin­g look with subtle stripes down the back that appear to shift as you turn the phone under the light. It feels well built but is a little heavy thanks to the 5000mAh battery. The 6.5-inch display is quite good and the HD resolution won't stress the processor too much, but some might prefer a crisper full-HD panel at this price. There are no variants, so you can only get this phone with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in India. Gaming performanc­e is quite good, though we did feel the upper rear get a bit warm while playing heavy games. Battery life is excellent and you can get well over a day of usage out of each charge. The cameras are largely average, with the primary one doing well in the daytime but the wide-angle and macro cameras feeling a little sub-par. Low light photograph­y isn't great, and video is also limited in quality.
