Although Xiaomi has a significant market share in this market, Realme and Infinix are two recent smartphones from new brands that compete fiercely to offer the best value for money Android smartphones under Rs 10,000. However, Samsung is also making a strong push in this price range with its M series.

Fortunately, the best smartphones under Rs 10,000 also have excellent optics. If that worries you, you won't find a removable battery in this category any longer, unlike the lower price ranges.

·         Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime

Buy Button Example

Rs.11,999

Expert opinion: The Redmi 9 Prime entered the market at a time when it was disrupted by price increases brought on by changes in India's GST rates. With the Redmi 9 Prime, which has a price below Rs 10,000, you get a quad camera setup, a really good processor, good battery life, and even support for fast charging. The aggressive push from Samsung and Realme in 2017 caused Xiaomi to lose some of its allure, but the Redmi 9 Prime restored it to the top of the pack for this price range.

·         POCO M2 4GB RAM

Expert opinion: One of the simplest phones to suggest in this price range is the POCO M2. With a powerful processor, four cameras, support for fast charging, and a strong battery life, the phone virtually sells itself on paper. The POCO M2 has the majority of things working in its favor when it comes to daily use, even though the build quality and design of the phone may not be particularly stunning.

·         realme Narzo 30A

Rs.8,999

 

Expert opinion:   The Realme Narzo 30A is the Narzo 20A's successor and upholds the inexpensive smartphone series' legacy in every manner. Here, a strong processor is in charge to handle challenging activities, but a sizable battery is also present to prevent the phone from running out of power while performing these demands. The handset is compatible with the majority of current charging accessories thanks to the inclusion of USB Type-C, and the display panel is one of the best that you can obtain for this price. This one is quite tough to screw up.

Infinix Hot 10S

Expert opinion:   The Infinix Hot 10S is a brand-new addition to the list, and the phone is certainly deserving of inclusion. It has a strong processor, a fluid 90Hz screen, and a 48MP main camera. The large 6,000mAh battery serves as the icing on the cake, even if these specifications would have helped the phone secure a spot on this list. These are some essential features for the daily needs of the majority of people, and it is difficult to claim that the manufacturer could have provided more for this price range.

Expert opinion:   The Realme C15 joins the list with a huge 6,000mAh battery and four cameras at a reasonable cost. The phone gets the fundamentals right, and then it tops it off with these two features to make the bargain even more alluring. The phone boasts a powerful CPU that can handle the majority of daily duties with ease, and the manufacturer has also added support for quick charging. If value for the money is a factor, C15 clearly deserves to be in this position.

·         Xiaomi Redmi 9

Rs.9,099

 

Expert opinion:   Aimed at those who want a daily driver with solid features across the board without burning a hole in their wallet, Xiaomi's Redmi 9 is a straightforward option. The phone doesn't exactly have a "wow" factor, but because it was designed to get things done, it succeeds in that regard. Redmi 9 is a solid option if you want a phone that consistently performs well on most fronts but isn't the best if you want a phone that sticks out from the crowd.

Expert opinion:  One of the very few phones in this pricing range with a distinctive design is the Tecno Spark 7T. The phone's camera performs well in the majority of lighting situations. Do we believe that the processor could have been improved by the brand? Yes. Does the existing processor do the required tasks? Yes, also. The phone has a long-lasting battery life, and because it has a processor that isn't too demanding, you can anticipate it to easily survive longer than two days under usual use. The Tecno Spark 7T is a promising smartphone all around, but it is unquestionably not the greatest choice in this price range.
