Best budget smartphones in India 2018: phones under Rs 10,000
This year has been great in terms of phones, especially if we consider just low-cost smartphones .
There are devices existing in the market that have the latest mid-range processors, priced affordably. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is the most recent example of one such phone. But unfortunately, it costs Rs 11,000 while we are listing phones under Rs 10,000.
Moreover, there is a lot to come in the coming days. We were expecting the Moto G6 series to debut under the given budget, but the cheapest it could go is Rs 11,999 with the G6 Play. If you're fine with a phone that offers good value for money and handles mild usage with ease, you can take a look the phones below.
They are priced under Rs 10,000 and do everything you expect from a phone at this range.
The Redmi Y2 is a big upgrade over its predecessor for sure, but the benchmark at this price is the Redmi Note 5 or the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. If compared to Redmi Note 5, it's more feature rich and balanced. The ZenFone Max Pro has an advantage of a bigger battery and superior chipset, but if camera is a concern, the Y2 looks like a better fit.

For just Rs 9,999, the Redmi Note 5 replaces the Note 4 for the top spot. The new phone is an update over its predecessor. It has a 18:9 display with a slightly better camera and software optimizations. The smartphone has everything that one expects from a phone of this range.
The Snapdragon 625 with 3GB RAM is good enough sail through intensive usage with a phenomenal full day battery life.

It's a uniquely designed phone that doesn't go very heavy on your pocket. Especially, because there's ample of power inside that easily sails a regular user through daily tasks without a hitch. It's the only competitor that stands firm against Xiaomi's army of Redmi phones that offer solid value for money. The camera too, is a decent performer, although the rear camera sometimes does produce artificial details.
Honor's 9 lite looks dapper in the Sapphire Blue colour variant. It has everything going for it in the design department with the shiny 2.5D glass on back and for Rs 10,999, it's one of the better designed smartphones available right now.
The 18:9 aspect ratio display is vibrant and is reason enough to buy it. It also has a quad-camera setup. The front-facing cameras capture some good pictures, while the rear one leaves much to be desired. There's no fast charge support which might be a deal breaker for some.
But for people who can turn a blind eye to these things, the 9 lite is a unique smartphone at this price.

The Redmi 5 succeeds the Redmi 4 from Xiaomi. It's a huge upgrade over its predecessor in terms of display and internals, but the design still remains identical to the older Xiaomi phones.
It runs Snapdragon 450, which is the latest chipset for budget phones and works pretty well in day to day usage. There are three RAM variants of the phone but the 3GB variant at Rs 8,999 offers the best value for money proposition. Despite of a cut in the battery, it can easily sail you through a full day of usage. The build is solid and new display looks like a great alternative to consume media on the go.

The Honor 7C offers face unlock, dual rear cameras and a big screen on a serious budget, and that makes it an interesting handset.
It's great to see features filter down price tiers, and Honor is leading the charge at the budget end of the market with the 7C. If you're funds are limited, this is a phone that should be worth considering.

The Moto E5 is a toned down variant of the Moto E5 Plus. The E5 Plus is a better choice among the two, but it's the E5 that falls under Rs 10,000 price bracket. It's a pretty nice looking phone than most its competitors, and it brings the simplicity of stock Android experience.
The Redmi 5 is a better option if power is preference, but the E5 dominates with its solid battery life and better design.
