Verdict

Redmi 9 Power has got a 48MP primary camera with enormous options which looks very promising at least on paper. Even Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, Stereo Speakers and 6.53″ FHD+ panel will take your entertainment to next level, this device also supports Widevine L1 which ensures HD streaming in OTT applications like Netflix, etc. Additionally, a 6000 mAh battery can easily cover more than a day with moderate usage and 18W fast & reverse charging support is like cherry on the top.

If I talk about cons, I personally felt Mi should have provided a 64 MP primary sensor and 16 MP front camera but it’s definitely not a deal-breaker. Lastly, Mi has bundled 22.5W fast-charger in the box and the Redmi 9 Power support only 18W fast-charging which is a bit odd. These small improvements could easily make this phone best in class, simply unbeatable.

If you are looking for the best smartphone phone for entertaining purpose, undoubtedly go for Redmi 9 Power for a 48MP camera, 6.53″ FHD+ display with Widevine L1 support, 6000 mAh battery with 18W fast-charging, Stereo Speakers, and Dual-Band Wi-Fi otherwise, simply pick Realme 7i (4GB+128GB) at Rs. 12999 for better value for money proportion, 90Hz LCD display, and 64 MP Camera but it lacks stereo speakers and 6000 mAh battery.

This smartphone sports a 64 MP primary camera and a 16 MP front which will definitely ensure better photography all the time. Lastly, this phone has got a massive 6000 mAh battery with 20W Turbo-charging support.

Also, being a stock android phone, you will not get any bloatware (except preinstalled moto apps) and Ads.

Note: Stock android does not come with call recorder so install any third party app if needed.

But if you are planning to play resource-hungry games like PUBG Mobile, Asphalt, Call of Duty then it might feel laggy and to be honest, you should go for at least Mediatek G90T or Snapdragon 720G based smartphones.

With a 48 MP f/1.7 primary camera, this phone supposed be capture sharp, detailed, and vivid images.

Obviously, moto g 5G also has a few cons. Firstly, Motorola should have provided an AMOLED panel, although the existing LTPS HDR10 certified is brilliant. Lastly, the single speaker is loud enough but the brand could have provided stereo dual-speaker support.

Micromax used to be a very popular mobile brand in India. It has ruled the Indian Smartphone market for years, especially around 2010-2014 with its Canvas series smartphones and basic feature phones.

But later brand could not manage to maintain the pace and soon went out of track. Almost more than a year (2018 onwards) Micromax went into a hibernation-like state until its surprise comeback in October 2020 and final launch on 3rd November 2020.

Our heartiest congratulations to Micromax for a solid comeback in the market. I really hope this time Micromax will continue to provide the best possible value for money products and services to the consumers.

Verdict

If you are looking for an entry-level and non-Chinese smartphone with modern features on a tight budget, Micromax In 1B could be a very good Desi budget choice for you.

This phone has got a 13MP primary camera which should fulfill your basic needs.

Micromax put an effort to incorporate premium features like dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, VoWiFi, etc at this price point along with a pure stock android experience.

I personally felt Micromax did an outstanding job. Still, If we talk about the cons, I believe with a minor price hike like Rs. 500, a 3GB+32GB variant with full fledge Android 10 would have been a better starting point than the current 2GB+32GB variant with Android Go. Otherwise, this Micromax In 1B is truly one of the best in class, simply an unbeatable non-Chinese alternative.

Frankly speaking, Micromax IN 1B 4GB+64GB variant makes more sense than its 2GB+32GB variant. But if you don’t want to spend more than INR 7K and your requirement is very basic then the base 2GB+32GB variant will be okay with Android Go.

P.S. Micromax IN 1B will be available from November 27, 2020, at Flipkart for 2GB+32GB at Rs. 6999/- & 4GB+64GB at Rs. 7999/-.

In this battle, we will mainly focus on POCO X3 and Realme 7 Pro because these mobiles are providing exceptional value for your hard-earned money.

Let’s select the Best Mobile Phone under 20000

It is very important to check every aspect like camera, sound, display, battery, processor, charging, design, security, etc. one by one to find out the best mobile phone under 20000 INR in India. Let’s dive in…

Multimedia

To be very honest most people want a powerful mobile phone in this category especially under the 20k range and their utmost priority remains multimedia usage, gaming, and stunning photography. Just to clarify multimedia usage refers, good photography, an immersive display, decent sound output, etc.

In terms of display, both phones are quite different. Realme 7 Pro comes with an FHD+ 60Hz Super-AMOLED panel whereas POCO X3 offers an FHD+ 120Hz IPS LCD display. So, we did not have a clear winner, if you consume a lot of multimedia, Realme 7 Pro will give more immersive experience. But if you want to have smooth scrolling and high FPS in games 120Hz panel in POCO X3 is definitely better.

Both the phones are equipped with Sony IMX682 64MP sensor for stunning photography. Realme 7 Pro has a 32MP selfie & 8MP wide-angle camera, and starry mode support. Another hand, POCO X3 packs with 20MP selfie and 13MP wide-angle lens.

Both these phones are equipped with dual stereo speakers and 3.5mm headphone jack. So, the audio experience is going to super amazing.

Battery & Charging

Battery backup and how fast it charges, are the second most important factor in our metrics.

POCO X3 has the largest 6000 mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support. Unlikely Realme 7 Pro has a 4500 mAh battery with the class-leading 65W SuperDart charging.

In our pick, Realme 7 Pro is more practical as both phones will almost get you a whole day of usage so fast charging remains the most important factor here.

Performance

Although we ranked performance in 3rd place does not mean it is less significant. Practically even if you have the best smartphone with great multimedia and battery backup, a weak processor can ruin the complete user experience (UX).

Realme 7 Pro and POCO X3 get Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G and 732G processors respectively. Both are quite powerful CPU but undoubtedly Snapdragon 732G has a slight edge over Snapdragon 720G. Although the real-life difference is quite nominal.

Design, Storage & Security

Design is the most relative factor, hence we will not pick a clear winner. But I personally liked Realme 7 Pro’s back panel the most but the camera setup in POCO X3 has a freshness, I must say.

In terms of storage, POCO X3 comes in three variant 6GB+64GB, 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB other side Realme 7 Pro comes with 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128Gb versions. Additionally, Realme 7 Pro gives you a dedicated microSD card slot to expand in the future if needed.

Form a security point of view both phones have fingerprint scanner and face unlock. Realme 7 Pro has an under-display fingerprint sensor and POCO X3 has it on the side-mounted power button.

Support & Warranty

All these phones run on Android 10 with their own custom skins, realme UI 1.0, MIUI 12. While both are similar still realme is definitely felt a bit more cleaner. Mostly, these phones will get a major update like Android 11 for 1 year and minor/security update for 2 years.

The warranty is the same on both the phones, 1 Year standard. But what gets realme an extra edge is its Callme service. You can call, schedule a pickup, the phone will be repaired and returned to you.

Availability

These phones get available through e-Commerce flash sales. POCO X3 and Realme 7 Pro will available at Flipkart exclusively.

Price

Realme 7 Pro is priced at Rs. 19999 for 6GB+128GB variant. While POCO X3 offers a 6GB+64GB option for Rs. 16999.

• Realme 7 Pro: 6GB+128GB Rs. 19999/- and 8GB+128GB Rs. 21999/-
• POCO X3: 6GB+64GB Rs. 16999/-, 6GB+128GB Rs. 18499/-, and 8GB+12GB Rs. 19999/-

Verdict

In our detailed breakdown analysis, Realme 7 Pro 6GB+128GB (detailed review) is the best mobile phone under 20000 INR in India, for its best-in-class value for money offerings with Super-AMOLED panel and 65W SuperDart Charging. If you are more into gaming then I would recommend going for POCO X3 6GB-128GB (detailed review).

There are many smartphone brands including giants like Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, etc. in the market but those as an overall all-rounder are not justified. Below is the list of smartphone brands and respective models that fall under the Rs 20000 mark.

In this battle, we will mainly focus on Redmi Note 9 Pro, Realme 7, and Realme Narzo 20 Pro because these mobiles are providing exceptional value for your hard-earned money.

Let’s select the Best Mobile Phone under 15000

It is very important to check every aspect like camera, sound, display, battery, processor, charging, design, security, etc. one by one to find out the best mobile phone under Rs. 15000 in India. Let’s dive in…

Multimedia

To be very honest most people want a very balanced mobile phone in this category especially under the 15k range and their utmost priority remains multimedia usage and a little bit of gaming. Just to clarify multimedia usage refers, good photography, an immersive display, decent sound output, etc.

In terms of display, Realme Narzo 20 Pro and Realme 7 will be the best choice with a 6.5″ Full HD+ 90Hz IPS LCD display. A higher refresh rate definitely enhances user experience a lot.

If you look for the best camera specs in the segment, it is Realme 7 with a whopping 64 MP f/1.8 Sony IMX 682 sensor. Realme Narzo 20 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro both have a 48 MP sensor, decent enough for good photography.

Surprisingly, all of the above smartphones lag dual stereo speakers although they sound adequately loud and good. Only Oppo A53 comes with dual-stereo speakers support under 15000 INR in India.

Battery & Charging

Battery backup and how fast it charges, are the second most important factor in this segment.

Realme 7, Oppo A53, Redmi Note 9, and Redmi Note 9 Pro have the largest 5000 mAh battery but the charging speed varies between phones. Redmi Note 9 Pro & Oppo A53 support 18W. While Redmi Note 9 and Realme 7 supports 22.5W and 30W charging respectively, and the class-leading Realme Narzo 20 Pro supports 65W SuperDart charging.

In our pick, Realme Narzo 20 Pro is more practical as all smartphones will almost get you a whole day of usage so fast charging remains the most important here.

Performance

Although we ranked performance in 3rd place does not mean it is less significant. Practically even if you have the best smartphone with great multimedia and battery backup, a weak processor can ruin the complete user experience (UX).

In this segment, the most powerful processors are MediaTek Helio G95 equipped in Realme 7 and Realme Narzo 20 Pro. Whereas Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9 Pro equipped with a slightly less powerful MediaTek Helio G85 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G respectively.

Design, Storage & Security

Design is the most relative factor, hence we can not pick a clear winner. But I personally liked Redmi Note 9 Pro’s back panel the most, although all smartphones have good design.

In terms of storage, the top two contender realme Narzo 20 Pro and Realme 7 both start with 6GB+64GB options except Redmi Note 9 Pro starts with 4GB+64GB. Although you will get a dedicated microSD card slot to expand in the future if needed.

Form a security point of view all mentioned smartphones (Realme 7, Realme Narzo 20 Pro & Redmi Note 9 Pro) get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner except Oppo A53 has it in the back panel.

Support & Warranty

All these phones run on Android 10 with their own custom skins, realme UI 1.0, MIUI 11, Color OS 7.2. While all are similar still realme is definitely felt a bit more cleaner. Mostly, these phones will get a major update like Android 11 for 1 year and minor/security update for 2 years.

The warranty is the same on both the phones 1 Year standard. But what gets realme an extra edge is its Callme service. You can call, schedule a pickup, the phone will be repaired and returned to you.

Availability

All these phones get available through e-Commerce flash sales. Redmi’s Note 9 Pro and Realme’s Narzo 20 Pro & 7 will available at Amazon/mi online store and Flipkart/realme store respectively.

Price

Realme 7 and Realme Narzo 20 Pro are priced at Rs. 14999 for 6GB+64GB variant. While Redmi Note 9 Pro offers a 4GB+64GB option for Rs. 13999 which I personally feel okayish. On another side, Oppo A53’s 4GB+64GB is Rs. 12990. There are other good smartphones that fall under Rs. 10000 to 15000 range based on price and specs.

• Rs. 10000 – 12000: Redmi Note 9/Realme Narzo 20
• Rs. 12000 – 13000: Oppo A53

Verdict

Realme Narzo 20A is definitely a budget allrounder smartphone for binge-watching or daily usage. The Snapdragon 665 is capable enough to run any application smoothly with very optimized battery consumption. Additionally, a 5000 mAh battery can easily cover an entire day with moderate usage. Even the real 12 MP f/1.8 looks good too.

If I talk about cons, Realme should have provided 18W fast-charging support with Type-C and an FHD+ panel. I agree, at the price of 3GB+32GB (Rs. 8499) providing an FHD+ panel is not possible. Instead, Realme could have launched only 4GB + 64GB variant with FHD+. But Again, this is brand tactics to cover a broader audience, so nothing to say more about this.

I really wish if Realme could manage to provide an FHD+ display at this price or for 500 bucks more. Just to remind you, Redmi 9 Prime is currently the Best mobile phone under 10000 in India as on date with an FHD+ display (no fingerprint sensor).

If you are looking for the best mobile phone at around Rs. 8500, choose Realme Narzo 20A (3GB+32GB) for 5000 mAh battery with reverse charging, fingerprint scanner, and Snapdragon 665 otherwise, go for Redmi 9 Prime (4GB+64GB) at Rs. 9999 for better display (FHD+ resolution) and camera but it lacks the fingerprint sensor.

Frankly speaking, 4GB+64GB variant of Realme Narzo 20A is not justifying its price.

P.S. Realme Narzo 20A smartphone will be available from September 30, 2020, at Flipkart and Online Realme Stores, 3GB+32GB at Rs. 8499/-, 4GB+64GB at Rs. 9499/-.
