Best phones under 15,000 in September 2019

2019 has seen a lot of latest smartphones across different price points. However, the competitive low-end of the market below Fifteen thousand(15,000) has seen some great phones priced very sharply. In August, we saw a couple of new additions to the segment from some familiar brands as well as two new entities. Realme introduced the Realme 5 Pro with the more powerful Snapdragon 712 chipset whereas Xiaomi introduced its Mi A3 Android One phone with major updates to the camera performance. And then we saw Motorola return to this segment with the highly impressive One Action while Lenovo went aggressive with the feature-rich K10 Note launched this week.

Hence, if you are spending less than Rs 15,000 on a smartphone, which one should you pickup?

I will help you.

1. Realme 5 Pro (from Rs 13,999)

 
           

Realme has been the most active smartphone brand in India in 2019. After the fairly successful Realme 3 Pro, we now have the Realme 5 Pro. What's new? Well, blending in with the trend, Realme now offers a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor as the primary camera. However, the quad-camera setup has three other impressive cameras as well. You get an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera along with a 2-megapixel macro camera (for extreme close up shots) and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The chipset gets upgraded to the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 from Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 on the Realme 3 Pro. With a 4035mAh battery along with 20W VOOC 3.0 fast charging, there isn't a better and powerful deal than this one.

2.Xiaomi Mi A3 (from Rs 13,999)

    

Xiaomi's third installment in its Android One series may not be as exciting as its predecessors but the Mi A3 is a capable phone nonetheless. It's the only phone in its class to offer an AMOLED screen with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The rear cameras have been thoroughly worked upon as well, with a 48-megapixel primary camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The stock Android OS guarantees two Android OS updates and a clean UI. But you will mostly buy this for its gorgeous looks - the Mi A3 looks stunning with its gorilla glass rear panel with eye-catchy gradients.

3.Motorola One Action (from Rs 13,9 99)

If you want something different, the Motorola One action is for you. The One Action has distinctive slender and tall design and style with a 21:9 CinemaVision Full HD+ display. If you are movie lovers, you will enjoy this wide cinemascope display. The Android One interface guarantees two Android OS updates and a clean UI.  You can record GoPro-like videos with this phone.

You can hold the phone in portrait mode and also the Action Camera can record the video in landscape orientation with smart software system stabilization. And yes, the Exynos 9609 chipset is powerful enough to let you play PUBG MOBILE in high graphics.

4.Redmi Note 7 Pro (from Rs 13,999)

     

The oldest option in this segment is still the value king if you want everything. It is distinct itself from the competition with a glass body flaunting pretty color gradients, a capable 48-megapixel main camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chipset and a massive 4000mAh battery supporting 18W fast charging. At Rs 13,999, the Note 7 Pro is the perfect all-rounder, even with the Redmi Note 8 Pro coming in a few months.

5.Vivo Z1 Pro (from Rs 14,990)

  

The Vivo Z1 Pro is possibly the most powerful under Rs 15,000 you can buy today. Let's get the headlining specifications out first - Snapdragon 712 chipset, 5000mAh battery, 18W fast charging and 6.5-inch FHD+ display with a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. In fact, this along with the Realme 5 Pro is the best phone for gaming under Rs 15,000. The battery life can give you more than a day's stamina even under moderate usage.
