Best Mobile Phones Under 20000

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.

The Galaxy F36 5G fails to impress at its sub-Rs 15,000 price point. While the display is great for multimedia needs and the One UI software experience excels, the phone can feel sluggish due to an older chipset. The camera is pretty decent and 6 years of OS updates is perfect for long-term use. But, the overall value isn’t competitive enough when compared to rivals.

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.

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.

The Moto G96 5G is a well-rounded phone that offers a fast, vibrant display and balanced cameras. The software experience is clean but the phone only supports an year of updates. With an underpowered processor, there are minor stutters during day-to-day usage and its battery is not up to standard. So, unless you want a multimedia-centred phone, you can look at other options.

The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is ideal for those looking for a good display and battery for under Rs 20,000. It also comes with a feature-rich One UI experience and a clean design. However, the phone lags behind its competition in terms of performance and cameras. On the downside, it even charges slowly, and the charger has to be bought at an added cost. You’ll be better off looking elsewhere in this segment.

The Motorola G67 Power compliments its name with a 7,000 mAh battery that easily goes on for more than a day without charge. It brings the iconic moto design in a durable body and features loud speakers, and understandable camera. However, Moto went with LCD instead of AMOLED, an underwhelming processor and the software support is minimal. So suffice to say that you can find better options out there.

The Infinix Note 50s 5G Plus is a no-frills budget phone that offers a bright and vibrant curved display, decent hardware for everyday usage and a mostly-dependable camera. It does all that by standing out among the competition with a premium-looking thin design and notification light that you can customise at will.

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
