Best Phones under ₹20000 or $300

Best SmartPhones under ₹20000 or $300 launched at the Year 2016

Looking to buy the best phone under ₹20000 or $300? 2016 was a great year for a lot of new phones launched in the 20000 smartphone segment. While most of these smartphones offer good performance, some can really go toe to toe with high-end flagship smartphones. So, you have a lot of options if you are buying the best phones under Rs.20,000 price, but which one to buy? To make things simple, here is our list of the best smartphones under 20,000 in India for December 2016. These phones offer good performance, camera quality, specifications and good features at mid-range price points and are recommended for users with a budget of under 20000.So here are the top 10 smartphones under Rs 20,000 in India

1) LeEco Le Max 2
With the launch of the Lenovo Z2 Plus, many phone makers have lowered their prices and LeEco has done the same. It’s flagship, the Le Max 2, which launched at Rs. 22,999 has seen a massive price drop and is available at Rs. 17,999. For the price you pay, you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC and a beautiful 5.7 2K display. This also makes it the only phone in the sub-20K segment to offer a 2560x1440p resolution display. To top it off, the smartphone boasts of a very good 21MP rear camera. Specs: Display: 5.7-inch, 1440p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 RAM: 4GB Storage: 32GB Battery: 3100mAh OS: Android 6.0


The Indian smartphone market is very price sensitive. We like good phones with a formidable performance at low prices and nothing does it better than the Lenovo Z2 Plus. With a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 on-board, the Z2 Plus overpowers the competition very easily. To further strengthen its position, Lenovo offers it with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, making it the best phone in the category. The smaller 5-inch touchscreen offers good colour reproduction and so does the 13MP rear camera. So, if you are looking for a phone under 20K, this is it. Specs: Display: 5-inch, 1080p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 RAM: 4GB Storage: 64GB Battery: 3500mAh OS: Android 6.0


3) Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime comes with medium-tier specs that have been a standard for this price range. It performs as expected, however the occasional and random crashing of apps was definitely somewhat of a concern. The camera performs really well in good light and manages to keep the images noise free in relative darkness too, albeit thanks to aggressive noise reduction.
By itself, the phone is a good option for anyone looking to shell out money for an impressive battery life. However Lenovo has introduced the Z2 Plus at same price almost packed with a more powerful Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB (or 4GB depending on the variant) of RAM and matching camera and display specs. The Lenovo Z2 Plus also sports a bigger battery, but it may not come with the optimisation the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime sports, making a choice between the two harder.

4) Asus Zenfone 3 Laser
Asus Zenfone 3 Laser, as the name implies, is the successor to Zenfone 2 Laser. The USP of the device is its ultra-fast 0.03 second laser autofocus. The Zenfone 3 Laser features a 5.5-inch Full HD display with 2.5D arc glass. Asus Zenfone Laser series has been camera-centric smartphone and Zenfone 3 Laser gets a 13MP rear image sensor from Sony coupled with electronic image stabilisation.Asus Zenfone 3 Laser also supports color correction sensor but it we will have to wait and see how it works in real life. The smartphone with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage is priced at Rs 18,000.


5) Oppo F1S
Oppo is now among the world’s top five smartphone vendors, and in India the brand has gained some recognition with its selfie-camera smartphones. The Oppo F1, Oppo F1 Plus were both launched in India this year with a focus on giving a great selfie experience to users. Oppo F1s is another take on the Oppo F1 series, and comes with the same 16MP front camera seen on the F1 Plus. The latter was priced at Rs 26,990, but had a higher resolution display and more storage on board.
For Oppo, the focus on selfies as a niche is interesting. In case of smartphones, the specifications battle has all but died out, with 3GB RAM, 32GB storage space now being common, even in devices that cost just Rs 10,000 or under. But smartphone cameras are still one segment where manufacturers can hope to stand out from the crowd. In Oppo’s case, it has decided to focus on the front camera, and give this selfie-obsessed generation a reason to rejoice. The Oppo F1 Plus’ selfie camera had impressed us, but is the new Oppo F1s worth its Rs 17,990 price tag?

6) Moto G4 Plus
The latest G Series smartphone from Moto features a stellar camera, probably the best in its category. However, the performance is not at par with the Lenovo Zuk 2 or the LeEco Le 2. That said, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 can handle most tasks with ease, and if you are a lightweight user, the Moto G4 Plus will be able to provide you with optimum performance. The display also gets an upgrade over its predecessor, as the 5.5-inch display now offers Full HD resolution. The storage has also been upgraded, and the phone is now available in both 32GB and 16GB storage variants. Specs: Display: 5.5-inch, 1080p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 RAM: 3GB Storage: 32GB Battery: 3000mAh OS: Android 7.0.1


7) Moto M
This phone is great combination of eye-catching design and flawless performance with MediaTek 2.2 GHz octa core processor supported by 4 GB RAM. Nearly all the specs meets our expectation except the Camera, Although phone has 16 MP primary and 8 MP secondary Camera on paper which looks more than enough but in real world performance they are not up to the mark. for the camera Moto G4 Plus is still irreplaceable under ₹ 15K Range. If you are not a camera maniac you can go for Moto M otherwise you can choose Galaxy J7 Prime. 

Flipkart

8) Xiaomi Mi Max
if you are looking for a big phone with good battery life along with some impressive performance, then the Mi Max is certainly your best bet. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 SoC that we saw on the Redmi Note 3. The main feature of this smartphone, is the large 6.44-inch display that offers good viewing angles, and is the ideal size to watch a lot of videos, or even read. Your movie-watching endeavours are well-supported by the huge 4850mAh battery, which won’t die even after two days of average usage. Specs: Display: 6.44-inch, 1080p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 RAM: 3GB Storage: 32GB Battery: 4850mAh OS: Android 6.0

Another great phone in this segment is the LeEco Le 2. Available now with 64GB of storage, the Le 2 brings refined design to the table, along with outstanding performance. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 652-powered device is quite powerful, and has one of the better cameras in the sub-20K segment. If your budget is a little tight, a 32GB variant of the phone is also available at a lower price. Its battery life though, is not at par with the Redmi Note 3. Specs: Display: 5.5-inch, 1080p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 RAM: 3GB Storage: 64GB Battery: 3000mAh OS: Android 6.0.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is the phone of the moment, and we are not surprised. Xiaomi ticked all the right boxes with this phone, ushering an era of budget smartphones that perform way better than their pricing. The 16MP rear camera is unable to match the overall goodness of the phone, but considering the sub-20K price bracket, it is still a very good option. You should consider this phone if you don’t want to compromise on battery life. Specs: Display: 5.5-inch, 1080p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 RAM: 3GB Storage: 32GB Battery: 4050mAh OS: Android 5.1.1

he Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime is the most affordable smartphone in this list, offering a relatively new Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, which handles all tasks with ease. The small, ergonomic smartphone offers an all-metal build, a first for its price category. The 13MP rear shooter is also decent for the price, and it even houses a fingerprint scanner. Specs: Display: 5-inch, 720p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 RAM: 3GB Storage: 32GB Battery: 4100mAh OS: Android 6.0.1

If you are looking for a balanced smartphone, Lenovo’s K6 Power can be one of the choices. This budget phone is using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, same as the Xiaomi Redmi 2S Prime. It is a good performer and one of the few phones to offer a 1080p display on a 5-inch display. The phone has large 4000mAh battery offering an entire day of battery life. Further, the 13MP primary camera on its back, is one of the best in its category. Specs: Display: 5-inch, 1080p SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 RAM: 3GB Storage: 32GB Battery: 4000mAh OS: Android 6.0

LeEco Le2

LeEco Le2 - The Killer Phone under 12,000 

Le2

Le Eco, formally known as Le Tv, has become a popular name in India within a short span of time. The Chinese tech major launched its first set of devices (Le 1S and Le Max) in January 2016 that gained a lot of attention owing to their premium design, aggressive pricing and company's rich content ecosystem.

LeEco claims that when combined with the company's CDLA earphones, the smartphone offers the best-in-class audio quality. We tried the earphones and the audio quality is really good. The sound is crystal clear, pleasingly loud but a bit light on bass. 

LeEco has delivered quite a strong package for just under Rs. 12,000. There's a lot to like about the Le 2, especially the fact that it looks and feels like it should cost twice as much as it does. You get powerful hardware and plenty of little conveniences. If the audio and video streaming options appeal to you, that's a nice added bonus as well. On the downside, the software is not our favorite flavor of Android and camera performance is also just ordinary at best.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 


Xiaomi has launched its Redmi Note 4 long back in August 2016, However, its was available for purchase in china. Now, the product is launched in India exclusively through Flipkart. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 follows in the footsteps of the Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3S, which were among the top selling devices online last year. The Redmi Note 3, in particular, saw a lot of success in the Indian market with over 2.3 million units sold within six months of launch. However, that model is almost a year old now, and on Thursday Xiaomi finally launched the Redmi Note 4 in the Indian market.

 Much like its predecessor, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 model sports an-all metal body and boasts of impressive specifications. While the Chinese version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 was unveiled in August last year with a MediaTek SoC, the one launched in India packs a Qualcomm chip. The Redmi Note 4 has been priced competitively and will be going up against some of the most popular smartphones in the market right now. Will the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 be able to continue the company's dream run in the Indian market, or will it turn out to be a run-of-the-mill device? Find out in our Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 review.

Talking about Specifications offered
  • The phone comes with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD full HD (1,080 x 1,920 pixels) display 
  • [India] Powered by Octacore (8xA53 Chipset) Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 (MSM8953) processor clocked at 2GHz with an integrated Adreno 506 GPU.
  • [China] Powered by 2.1GHz MediaTek Helio X20 MT6797 processor clocked at 2.1GHz dual-core Cortex A72  + 2GHz quad-core Cortex A53 + 1.4GHz quad-core Cortex A53.
  • It comes in three variants one with 2GB RAM + 32GB storage variant, 3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant and also can be expanded up to 128GB via a microSD card. Both variants configured to have Mali-T880 MP4 graphics engine.
  • There's a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF (phase detection autofocus), and a dual-tone LED flash. There is also a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture and a fixed-focus lens. 
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 has a non-removable 4100mAh battery which is marginally bigger than the 4050mAh one seen on the Redmi Note 3.
  • It measures 151.00 x 76.00 x 8.30 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 175.00 grams (heavier side)😣.
  • Talking about Connectivity, Redmi Note 4 is a dual SIM (GSM and GSM) smartphone that accepts Micro-SIM and Nano-SIM. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, Infrared, USB OTG, FM, 3G and 4G, VoLTE (with support for Band 40 used by some LTE networks in India).

  • The Redmi Note 4 runs MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Xiaomi has added plenty of new features including Now on Tap which was one of the highlights of Android Marshmallow, introduced in 2015. Google's Now on Tap can be triggered within any app just by long-pressing the Home button, and can use what's on screen as context for your searches. MIUI 8 on the Redmi Note 4 looks light and polished compared to previous versions. We were impressed with the system animations, which look refreshing, including a neat one when you uninstall an app.
With privacy in mind, the Redmi Note 4 offers Dual Apps and Second Space, two of our favourite software features. The Dual Apps feature, as the name suggests, creates two instances of any app on the same smartphone, so you can, for example, use two WhatsApp accounts at the same time. Second Space, on the other hand, lets users separate business and personal data on the same phone. The feature lets users use two entirely separate Google accounts. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 managed an impressive 65,560 in AnTuTu and 42,690 in Quadrant

 The Redmi Note 4 will be available in 2GB RAM + 32GB storage variant for Rs 9,999,  3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant for Rs 10,999 and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant for Rs 12,999. The Redmi Note 4 goes on an open sale on Flipkart and Mi.com from 23 January at 12PM.

Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus


Apple's Latest iPhone 7 & iPhone 7Plus: Things to know

iphone 7 7 plus
  7 7 plus

This year's iPhone  come in three storage variants - 32GB  128GB, and 256GB but No 64GB 😔 as people opt to buy 128GB if they are insufficient with 32GB 😦 (Costly). The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available in Gold, Jet Black, Matte Black, Rose Gold, and Silver color variants in India.
Apart from the new colors and new storage capacities, there are several major differences between the last generation and the current generation iPhone models. 
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack (Apple is bundling a Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter with each phone, however) 
  • IP67 rating for dust, splash, and water resistance. The current generation is lighter and faster than the previous and comes bundled with Lightning-powered EarPods.
The iPhone 7  Sports
  • 3D Touch-enabled 4.7-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 750x1334 @326ppi. 
  • Powered by the Apple A10 Fusion processor.
  • It bears a 12-megapixel rear camera with a f/1.8 aperture, a six-element lens, optical image stabilization, a Quad-LED True Tone flash, and a sapphire crystal lens cover. 
  • The rear camera is capable of 4K video recording at 30fps, and 1080p HD video recording at 60fps. 
  • The FaceTime HD camera on the front bears a 7-megapixel resolution and is capable of 1080p HD video recording. 
  • It measures 138.3x67.1x7.1mm and weighs in at 138 grams.
The iPhone 7 Plus Sports
  • 3D Touch-enabled 5.5-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 1080x1920 @ 401ppi.
  • Powered by the Apple A10 Fusion processor.
  • Dual rear camera setup - one 12-megapixel wide angle lens camera with a f/1.8 aperture, and one 12-megapixel telephoto lens camera with a f/2.8 aperture. 
  • It measures 158.2x77.9x7.3mm, and weighs in at 188 grams, with the rest of the specifications similar to the iPhone 7.

Final Verdict

It's not a great deal for iPhone 6S users upgrade to iPhone 7 as there is no noticeable change to experience. However, a new iPhone user can prefer going with iPhone 7 for the first time. Considering iPhone 7 Plus, definitively give great  experience with its Primary camera equipped with a telephoto lens (great for professional photography)  and immersive user experience. Let's wait and see what Apple brings in its 10 Year industry research next Year)
