Best Mobile Phones Under 12000

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G is an entry-level phone that feels solid for everyday use. However, it is not a perfect phone. The excellent battery life makes sure you stay connected all day, but the subpar camera and display are optimized for casual use. No 5G connectivity is a letdown. But at this competitive pricing, Realme is offering an accessible phone for basic use.

The Realme C71 is a strong entry level contender and is made for casual everyday use. While its camera and performance are in line with the price, it excels with a decent 90Hz display, excellent battery endurance and a sleek design. Realme is also promising two years of major OS updates. So ultimately, the Realme C71 is a smartphone worth recommending for casual calling and viewing videos.

The Galaxy A07 is an entry-level Android phone built with longevity in mind. It offers an unprecedented 6-year OS update promise, which is its primary selling point. While the phone performs decently for the price, it is let down by its large and low resolution display. It doesn’t have enough RAM, and Samsung doesn’t even provide a charger in the box. All in all, it’s a decent phone but there are certainly better options for you to choose.

The Poco C71 brings an impressive design, a smooth display, clean software and commendable battery life at an inexpensive price. If you are upgrading from a feature phone and are on a strict budget, this is the best companion you can possibly have. However, if you want futureproofing, better performance, and a better camera, it falls short. Also, getting a 5G phone is the way to go at this point.

The Realme P4 Lite is a considerable downgrade over its older model. It features a 90Hz LCD screen which feels responsive, a durable build quality that can stand a drop from almost 2 meters, and features a 3.5mm headphone jack. Still, that does not make up for the poor camera quality, sub-standard performance and outdated Android version. If you are looking for an entry level smartphone, there are some better picks you can consider. Realme P4 Lite only makes sense at a discounted price.
