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.

If you are looking for a clean and trendy designed smartphone for daily usage that too on a very tight budget Moto G9 Power can be the perfect choice for you. Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 4 GB RAM can easily accomplish tasks in a flash. 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.

Finally, I would say this time Motorola outdid its own moto g9. If you are looking for an all-rounder phone on a very tight budget, I can easily recommend the Moto g9 Power.

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.

If you are a tech-savvy person, want to be up-to-date, or someone who generally uses a smartphone for 3-4 years, this moto g 5G could be an absolute choice for you.

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. The combination of MediaTek Helio G35 and 6.52″ HD+ LCD panel is capable enough to run the day to day applications smoothly with an eye-soothing display experience. Additionally, the 5000 mAh battery can easily last more than a day for moderate usage, and with 10W charging and reverse charging support, you are covered 180 degrees. 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.

If you are looking for a cheap and budget non-Chinese smartphone with the best possible specification, undoubtedly go for Micromax IN 1B with a 13MP camera, 6.52″ HD+ display, 5000 mAh battery with 10W USB Type-C charging, reverse charging, pure android and Dual-Band Wi-Fi.

Otherwise, you can also checkout our Best Mobile Phone under 10000 INR in India guide.

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/-.

If you are looking for the best possible camera in a very pocket-friendly smartphone the Realme 7i is a definite choice. This phone has got a 64MP f/1.8 primary camera which looks very promising at least on paper. The combination of Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 and 90Hz HD+ panel 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 with fast & reverse charging support.

If I talk about cons, I personally felt Realme should have provided Snapdragon 665 (at least), an FHD+ panel, and a 20W VOOC charger. These small improvements could easily make this phone best in class, simply unbeatable.

If you are looking for the best camera phone around Rs. 13000, go for Realme 7i (4GB+128GB) for a 64MP camera, 5000 mAh battery with fast & reverse charging, fingerprint scanner, 90Hz display otherwise, go for Redmi 9 Prime (4GB+64GB) at Rs. 9999 for better display (FHD+ resolution) but it lacks the fingerprint sensor.

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/-.

Since 2013, Motorola is delivering a pure Android experience than over-bloated and custom-skinned Android from other competitors like Realme, Mi, etc. As a result, these phones feel smoother for a longer time. Additionally, stock android is definitely easier to use for beginners, especially for our parents or grandparents.

Yeah, I understand that stock android lacks basic essentials like a call recorder, personalized look, comparatively lesser price tags. But on the other side, you do not get any Ads or bloatware even in budget segment devices. Although this choice varies from person to person.

Before we discuss our verdict, pros, and cons, let’s see the technical specification, box contents, and design of the new Moto E7 Plus.

Verdict

Moto E7 Plus is a decent smartphone with adequate capabilities like 48 MP camera, Snapdragon 460, and 5000 mAh battery with 10W charging. Stock Android and sturdy built will be the only factors to choose this Moto E7 Plus smartphone over the latest offering from Realme Narzo 20 and Redmi 9 Prime.

It is not the best budget smartphone for every budget users, but for a specific segment like our parents, grandparents basically who do not like or feel comfortable with the custom UI, I would say, yes.

In case you are looking for the best mobile phone at around Rs. 10000 from any brand go for either Redmi 9 Prime or Realme Narzo 20. Otherwise, if you need a clean Android experience choose Moto E7 Plus under Rs. 10000.

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

P.S. Moto E7 Plus smartphone will be available from September 30, 2020, at Flipkart, 4GB+64GB at Rs. 9499/-.

Verdict

Realme Narzo 20 is one of the best budget allrounder smartphones for binge-watching or day to day operations. The MediaTekHelio G85 processor is capable enough to get you good frames in games like Call of Duty and the massive 6000 mAh battery is more than enough to cover 1.5 days of moderate usage. Finally, the 48 MP f/1.8 Primary camera at this price is like ice on the cake.

I really wish if Realme could manage to provide an FHD+ display at this price or for 500 bucks more. Otherwise, they should have priced it under Rs. 10000 to directly compete Redmi 9 Prime. Just to remind you, Redmi 9 Prime is currently the Best mobile phone under 10000 in India as on date with an FHD+ display but just 13 MP Primary camera.

If you are looking for the best mobile phone at around Rs. 11000, choose Realme Narzo 20 for a better camera (48 MP) and 6000 mAh battery otherwise, go for POCO M2 for better display (FHD+ resolution) but it lacks the fingerprint sensor.

P.S. Realme Narzo 20 smartphone will be available from September 28, 2020, at Flipkart and Online Realme Stores, 4GB+64GB at Rs. 10499/-, 4GB+128GB at Rs. 11499/-.
