What the Experts Are Saying?

The Poco X7 is for those looking to score a budget gaming phone. The design, processor and display will not disappoint in the price point. While the camera module is versatile, its performance may leave you wanting more. The only thing that drags it down is HyperOS 2 which is not the smoothest experience as it’s riddled with pre-installed apps and ads. Otherwise, it’s an easy recommendation.

Pros

  • Sharp and smooth AMOLED panel
  • Premium leather finish and aluminium frame
  • Good chipset for the price
  • Versatile camera setup
  • Long-term update policy

Cons

  • Slow storage speed
  • Bloated OS

What the Experts Are Saying?

For someone who need a snappy phone that easily lasts more than a day and click decent photos, the Realme P4 is an excellent option. With good upgrades over its predecessor, the P4 stands out not only in terms of design but also delivers good performance for the price.

Pros

  • Bright display with good visibility
  • Dependable battery life
  • Handy and practical AI features
  • Lightweight and refreshing design

Cons

  • Dual chip claims feel underwhelming
  • Slight audio distortion at high volumes

What the Experts Are Saying?

The Realme Narzo 80 Pro is a good package for those who want to experience a clean design and 90 FPS gaming in BGMI. It has a good all-day battery backup with fast charging and bypass charging. However, the display quality and cameras are not the best for the price. The phone offers a dependable processor but it’s prone to heating, especially during gaming.

Pros

  • Eye catchy design
  • Sturdy build with IP69 rating
  • Capable chipset
  • Excellent battery endurance
  • Loud and clear stereo speakers
  • Useful AI features

Cons

  • Heating issues exist
  • Display output is dull
  • Average camera
  • Basic OS support

Realme P4x in hand in silver colourway

The Realme P4x combines one of the best processors in the segment with a ginormous battery, all in a pretty sleek form factor. It excels at gaming and is capable of lasting two days on a charge. However, the camera performance is average and charging it back up takes a lot of time. If you prioritise speed and stamina over others, it's one of the best value phones you can get right now.

Pros

  • Excellent performance in the segment
  • Great battery endurance
  • Good software experience
  • Surprisingly good build quality

Cons

  • Average cameras
  • Persistent software bloat
  • 144 Hz refresh rate is gimmicky

shot of a hand holding the CMF Phone 2 Pro in front of a teal background

The CMF Phone 2 Pro trades a bit of its modularity for a sleeker design and stands tall as a budget phone with a charger in the box. While its subpar mono speaker is a bit underwhelming, it more than makes up with an excellent display, telephoto lens, stable performance and clean software. All that coupled with an attractive price tag makes the CMF Phone 2 Pro one of the best budget smartphones to consider right now.

Pros

  • Excellent, crisp display
  • Clean OS experience
  • Reliable performance
  • Segment-first Telephoto lens
  • Unique design

Cons

  • No Optical Image Stabilisation
  • Lack of stereo speakers

What the Experts Are Saying?

vivo T4x is a prime example of how one significant con can completely overshadow an otherwise solid phone. It brings excellent performance, a massive battery, and good cameras but the LCD display is not bright enough and is a major shortcoming. Still, the presence of AOD on a LCD panel is a pleasant surprise. Overall, you can go for the Vivo T4x if you are looking for an all-rounder under 15,000.

Pros

  • Excellent performance
  • Solid battery life, fast charging
  • Decent main camera

Cons

  • Poorly lit LCD display
  • Bloatware filled OS
  • Speaker lacks depth

What the Experts Are Saying?

The Infinix GT 30 5G+ keeps the characteristics of it’s Pro sibling while dialling down the specs to keep the price in check. It features a standout design, but falls short in the software department. While Dimensity 7400 in the device scores high in benchmark, it comes at the expense of reduced battery endurance. All in all, it’s a decent buy in the sub-Rs 20,000 bracket

Pros

  • Unique eye-catching design
  • Super-responsive AMOLED screen
  • Decent performance for the price
  • Good haptics in this segment

Cons

  • Poor built quality
  • Underwhelming battery unit
  • Bloated UI experience
  • Average cameras

What the Experts Are Saying?

The Tecno Pova 7 Pro is a unique budget smartphone with its eye-catching design and the Delta light strip to alert you to incoming calls and notifications. The high 144 Hz refresh rate is unseen at the price and is coupled with a large battery that lasts all day. The Hi OS software is decent, the same as the performance of the phone. Overall, it is a standout smartphone in the mid-range segment.

Pros

  • Unique design with Delta lights
  • Smooth high refresh rate display
  • Capable performance
  • Large battery, supports wireless charging
  • Clicks decent photos

Cons

  • Display brightness not enough
  • Front camera needs improvement
  • Feels bulky to carry
