Smartphones Under 10,000: Here Are 10 Affordable Android Phones You Can Buy On A Tight Budget

I don't know about you, but my personal sweet spot for buying a smartphone is Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000.

With the right choice, you can get a capable device that also looks good and still leaves you with enough of your monthly budget. So here are our picks for the best smartphones under Rs 10,000.

Realme 1

The Realme 1 is one of the nicest-looking mid-range devices on the market right now. It's range of colours is complemented by the sleek diamond glass on the rear. It also carries a decent Helio P60 chipset with 3GB of RAM.

Oppo A3s

The Oppo A3s could actually pass for a modern flagship at a glance, with its ultra-thin bezels and notch in the display. Even better is that it sports a massive 4230mAh battery to back up the large HD+ display.

Redmi Note 5

The Snapdragon 625 this device features lets it outperform most others in the category, and the all-metal design and rear fingerprint scanner go a long way towards giving it a premium feel.

Realme 2

The Realme 2 features a design aesthetic similar to the Realme 1, except thinning out the bezels and equipping a bar notch on the front. It also ups the processor to a Snapdragon 450.

Moto E5

The Moto E5 is perfect for the user that just needs a stalwart device, nothing fancy. Granted, it's not much to look at, but the upside is you get stock Android and a large 4000mAh battery that's well-optimised.

Asus Zenfone Max M2

This device is the newest on this list, having only recently launched. As such, it carries the Snapdragon 632 processor for some pretty decent compute capability, and a 4000mAh battery to boot.

Honor 9N

This device is actually a little on the smaller side, running a Kirin 659 SoC. Then again it also has a 13MP dual camera on the rear and a 16MP selfie camera.

Honor 8C

The Honor 8C also runs the Snapdragon 632, but has a lesser dual camera than the Max M2. On the other hand, it makes up for that with a higher 4G of RAM ints backpack.

Lenovo K9

The K9 would be very similar to other devices on this list, if not for the UI. Though it retains the simplicity of stock Android, it's still packed chock-full of awesome features and customizations.

Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro

The Redmi 6 Pro is a fairly dependable device, with a 4000mAh battery and a full HD display. It may not be the fastest phone on the list, but it's certainly one of the most vivid to stream movies on. And it's a steal.
