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

What the Experts Are Saying?

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.

Pros

  • Premium looking back design
  • High refresh rate AMOLED display
  • Detailed main camera photos
  • Decent battery life
  • Smooth One UI software experience

Cons

  • Notch display looks dated
  • Subpar performance
  • Selfie camera lacks details
  • Single speaker is not loud enough.

What the Experts Are Saying?

The Moto G86 Power is an ideal phone for most casual users. It packs a great display, capable processor, big battery, and useful set of cameras. On the downside though, the charging solution is quite slow and it comes with only a year of updates. It’s a value for money buy for the segment, if you can look beyond these limitations

Pros

  • Excellent AMOLED display
  • Powerful chipset in the segment
  • Massive battery backup
  • Decent camera versatility
  • Clean Android experience

Cons

  • Average build quality
  • Slow charging speeds
  • Limited OS support

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?

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.

Pros

  • Powerful chipset in the segment
  • All-day battery
  • Fast charger included
  • Decent update policy
  • Customisable Dynamic Light

Cons

  • Subpar build quality
  • Average LCD screen
  • Jittery OS experience
  • Passable camera

What the Experts Are Saying?

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.

Pros

  • Exceptional battery backup
  • Good design and feel
  • Segment’s highest refresh rate

Cons

  • Poor outdoor legibility
  • Average display quality
  • Mediocre camera performance
  • No stereo speakers
  • Slow charging speed
