Here are the top value-for-money smartphones under ₹25,000

Budget and entry-level smartphone segments see most of the action. And then, you have the premium segment, which starts at ₹30,000. But what if you want to buy a new phone that's priced between ₹20,000 and ₹25,000? Unfortunately, there are not a lot of options in what is called the mid-range category.

With the new Galaxy M51, there is a revived interest in this segment. We are expecting brands to launch new competing phones. Until then, let’s take a look at what are the top value-for-money options for you.

Samsung Galaxy M51

The latest in the mid-range segment is Samsung Galaxy M51. The USP of the phone is its 7,000mAh battery, which is a first for this space. Apart from a big battery, Samsung Galaxy M51 runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor. It has a 6.7-inch sAMOLED Infinity-O display with full HD+ resolution. Another highlight of the phone is a quad-camera setup featuring a 64-megapixel camera sensor. The phone is available for a starting price of ₹24,999.

Realme X3

Another value-for-money option in this category is Realme X3. Realme X3 has a 6.6-inch FHD+ screen with 120Hz display. It sports Snapdragon 855+ octa-core processor, which is an upgraded version of Qualcomm’s last year’s flagship processor. Another highlight of the phone is the quad-camera setup which is comprised of 64-megapixel Samsung GW1 camera with 1/1.7 aperture and 20x hybrid zoom + 12-megapixel telephoto lens (f/2.5) + 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens + 2-megapixel macro lens. Realme X3 is also available for a starting price of ₹24,999.

Redmi K20 Pro

Xiaomi’s Redmi K20 Pro is now over a year old. The phone, however, is a good alternative for those looking for a comprehensive package that delivers decent camera and performance. Specs-wise, it has Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, up to 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, a 6.39-inch full HD+ display, 48MP + 13MP + 8MP AI triple rear camera, a 20MP pop-up selfie camera, and a 4,000mAh battery.
