Best Mobile Phones Under 15000

For a phone in the sub-Rs 15,000 segment, the iQOO Z10x delivers a capable chipset, massive battery unit and a coloured light that glows for alerts. However, it fails to take into account basics like display quality, software experience and cameras which leaves the overall experience underwhelming. There are more deserving options to go for in this price.

The Redmi Note 14 SE is a budget phone that ticks a lot of boxes. You get an AMOLED display which is bright enough outdoors, loud stereo speakers, decent processor and a really good camera. But the battery size is not up to standard, and you also have to buy the charger separately. If you’re okay with that, this is the perfect package for the segment.

Poco M7 Plus is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a multimedia focused smartphone. It has a large and bright display, a huge battery, and pretty loud speakers. Other than that, the performance, cameras, and the HyperOS Android skin leave something to be desired.

The Galaxy F17 5G is the phone to get if you’re specifically looking for a Samsung phone on budget. It offers a good display, extended OS updates and long-lasting battery. However, it comes with major compromises in hardware, camera and display which make it unappealing compared to other devices in the segment.

The Moto G57 Power delivers excellent battery endurance, a set of capable cameras, a clean software and good performance all at a really affordable price. However, it compromises significantly on the media experience, with a dated LCD panel and average speakers. While the single-year update policy is limited, the phone is still an ideal choice for budget users, and it's easily one of the best sub-Rs 15,000 phones.

The Redmi 15 is a good budget phone, but its entire identity hinges on its 7,000mAh battery. Beyond that, its offers only a single camera, slow charging speed and an ancient display technology. The smartphone fails to impress in its price segment. The Redmi 15 is ideal for those who prioritise battery and screen size above all.

The Samsung Galaxy M17 5G is a decent mid-range Android phone for under Rs 15,000. It is designed for people who want a good design with a vivid AMOLED display, good selfie camera and software experience that improves with each update. However, the phone lags behind the competition in terms of performance, low-light camera output, and charging speeds. All in all, the Galaxy M17 is a good value for money phone for casual users.

Vivo Y31 5G is suitable for those who want a big battery phone and a no-fuss day-to-day experience. It comes with a decent display and standout durability. It is not meant for gamers and the UI experience is poor. The cameras are barely usable. At this price, there are other better options available.

The Vivo Y19s 5G is a classic example of budget phone with sacrifices. The massive battery offers great endurance and the Dimensity 6300 is decent enough to help you with day to day tasks and 5G connectivity. However, the 5G tax is heavy as the camera is severely downgraded, and the charging is incredibly slow at 15W. The 720p screen is underwhelming. All in all, unless you’re absolutely stuck at one budget and need a 5G phone with good battery, we recommend steering clear of the Vivo Y19s 5G.
