Best Mobile Phones Under 15000

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.

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 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.

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 Realme Narzo 80x gets a lot of the essentials right for a budget Android phone. It handle everyday tasks well, capture consistent shots on most days and the battery lasts a whole day. Realme UI is feature-rich but full of bloatware. But what really drags it down is the display which is bright but feels underwhelming in terms of colours and details.

The Oppo K13x 5G is a good budget smartphone that offers a no-fuss experience. It is suited for students and users on a budget who are looking for reliable 5G connectivity and long battery backup. However, the Oppo K13x may fall short for gaming and multimedia enthusiasts. The same story continues on the camera front; they are average at best.

The Realme C73 is an attractive phone for someone looking a reliable daily driver on a tight budget. The design is clean, colors are likeable, and you also get IP64 water and dust protection. This is paired with a big 6,000mAh battery, but the jittery OS, lacklustre performance, and modest cameras don’t make it as compelling. Still, it is a decent entry-level phone for newcomers to the Android space.
