Top 10 Smartphone Under 10,000/-Rs To buy

   Top Smartphone to buy under 10,000 are listed below:

Realme Narzo 30A 

The Realme Narzo 30A has a dual pattern of sorts with the bottom two-thirds having  diagonal lines, while the upper section is plain. You also get a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that is well-positioned and easy to reach. The side-mounted power and volume buttons are conveniently placed too.

The Realme Narzo 30A gets a decently big 6.5-inch display with a tall 20:9 aspect ratio. It has the SIM tray on the left side of the frame and has two Nano-SIM slots and a dedicated slot for storage expansion. The Narzo 30A tips the scales at 207g and is noticeably heavy since packs in a big 6,000mAh battery.

You get a 18W charger which is a neat addition.The Realme Narzo 30A is available in two colour options: Lazer Black and Lazer Blue. You get a more powerful MediaTek Helio G85 SoC that’s paired with either 3GB or 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM, depending on which variant you choose. These variants are paired with 32GB and 64GB of storage respectively. Storage is expandable further upto 256GB using a microSD card. 

If this is what your typical usage pattern looks like, then the Narzo 30A should not disappoint. The rear-mounted fingerprint scanner was quick at authentication, and face recognition too did not need more than a single attempt to unlock the smartphone. The Realme Narzo 30A sports a 13-megapixel primary camera and a monochrome portrait camera with an unspecified resolution. At the front, it has an 8-megapixel camera for selfies. The rear camera performance was average in most shooting conditions but the phone did deliver good selfies.

Moto G10 Power

The Moto G10 Power is a new big-battery smartphone from Motorola, priced just on the cusp of Rs. 10,000. It certainly looks much better than the Moto E7 Plusthanks to the diagonal 3D texture on the back. On the other hand, the HD+ display looks unmistakably low-budget, with jagged edges visible on icons and slight colour banding in some gradients in photos.

The Moto G10 Power uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 460 SoC, which is modestly powerful but certainly not the best in this segment. Motorola has offered a clean Android experience for ages now, and this continues. You need to be a little patient when opening system menus or switching between apps due to the underpowered SoC. The 6,000mAh battery easily lasts two full days on one charge, and this is with rigorous use too.

The primary 48-megapixel camera is the one you'll want to be using most often as the others aren't quite as good. Daylight shots were decent with good HDR, details, and colours. In low light, the main camera captures much softer details. Night mode helps fix the exposure but doesn't do much to improve detail. 

Compared to the Moto E7 Plus, the Moto G10 Power offers better battery life and quicker charging. However, if you're looking for better gaming or system performance at this price level, then the Narzo 30A could be a good alternative or for a bit more, you can get the Moto G30 (Review).

Motorola Moto E7 Plus 

A smartphone from the Motorola E series, the Moto E7 Plus offers  good hardware while delivering clean software. The Moto E7 Plus sports a 6.50inch display with a drop notch selfie camera. It has a tall display with the 20:9 aspect ratio.

The Motorola Moto E7 Plus is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 . It is an octa-core processor that is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The Moto E7 Plus has a dual-camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It delivers good camera performance in daylight but the performance is average in lowlight. The dedicated light mode does a much better job in low light.

The Moto E7 Plus packs in a 5,000mAh battery and has a Micro-USB port. It does not have support for fast-charging and gets a 10W charger in the box, which is slow to charge the phone completely. Motorola ships the phone with Andorid 10 with its custom My UX UI on top.

Realme C25

There’s usually nothing iconic or pathbreaking about budget smartphones, and the Realme C25 makes no attempt to break that mould. It offers a sturdy plastic unibody that’s chubby, yet easy to grip. As with every budget smartphone, there is a bit of give and take. What the Realme C25 gains in terms of processing power with the MediaTek Helio G70 processor, it also loses by not having an ultra-wide-angle camera like its predecessor, the Realme C15. Battery life is stellar but that’s also something that most smartphones in this segment already offer. Camera performance is passable and seems good enough for a phone that is meant to cater to those who simply want to run apps and get their day-to-day work done. All in all, the Realme C25 will appeal to those who are on a tight budget and who want battery performance over everything else.

Realme Narzo 10A

The Realme Narzo 10a is largely a cosmetic update to the Realme C3, which isn't a bad thing at all, as that model has performed very well in our tests. The Narzo 10a adds a fingerprint sensor, which takes care of one of our biggest complaints with the C3, as well as a macro camera on the rear, which is fun to use but not very practical. Performance is excellent thanks to the MediaTek Helio G70 processor, and you can get a decent enough gaming experience even with today's heavy games. The cameras are just about average, but quality dips a lot in low light. Battery life is excellent and we could get two full days of casual usage out of a single charge. This phone is available in So White and So Blue, with a gigantic Realme logo emblazoned across the back. Only one configuration is available, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

It has a big display that measures 6.5-inches and has a 20:9 aspect ratio. The Realme C3 sports a 5,000mAh battery which is a highlight for this smartphone.

Micromax In 1b

Micromax is coming back to the Indian smartphone market with the In Note 1 and In 1b smartphones. On reviewing the In Note 1, I found that it offered good specifications but was a little rough around the edges when it comes to the software. As I move on to the new Micromax In 1b, the more affordable of the two new models launched by the Indian smartphone company, I have a couple of questions in mind. Has Micromax cut corners to achieve the aggressive price of the In 1b? Will it offer better value than its sibling?
