Realme 5i
realme 5i It has once again become a part of this list. But the price of the device is no longer the same. At the time of launch, the price of Realme 5i was Rs 8,999. But after the change in GST rates, the price of this handset has increased. The price of 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variant of Realme 5i now starts at Rs 9,999, while the price of 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant has become Rs 10,999.
Realme 5i was launched in early 2020. It comes with a new design and looks attractive too. It has four rear cameras on the back. We found its primary camera to be quite capable. Especially during the day, but the details could have been better. Realme 5i has an ultra-wide-angle camera, which gives a wide field of view. But the level of detail is not great, especially compared to the primary camera. Close-up shots were good, but the performance in low light was disappointing.
The battery life of Realme 5i is good. But there is no fast charger provided in it.
Samsung Galaxy M30
Samsung Galaxy M30 The smartphone is about a year old and has been priced at several times to become a part of the Rs 10,000 price segment. It comes with a full-HD + AMOLED display, which is not common for this price range. The Samsung Galaxy M30 is made of plastic, but it feels solidly built. Samsung sells this phone in several color gradients.
The Samsung Galaxy M30 uses the Exynos 7904 processor which is not the most powerful processor in this price range. You get two variants based on RAM and storage – 3GB RAM with 32GB storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage.
We liked the battery life of this phone, but the charging speed is very slow. The user interface is clean and easy to use. We found that the triple rear camera setup of the Samsung Galaxy M30 is decent. It took good pictures in daylight. But the performance in low light could have been better. Today, you can get the starting variant of Samsung Galaxy M30 for less than Rs 10,000.
Realme U1
Realme U1 Another handset that has become affordable over time. This phone is a bit old, but is still usable today. The specifications of the device are eye-catching. The Realme U1 comes with a full-HD+ display which is not common in this price range.
MediaTek Helio P70 processor has been used in Realme U1. It is capable of giving strong performance. It has a dual camera setup and it takes decent pictures in daylight. Its performance in low light disappointed us. Autofocus is also not very fast. The 25 megapixel camera given in Realme U1 takes good pictures in daylight. But the performance in low light is not commendable.
Redmi 8
redmi 8 Earlier it was part of the list of best smartphones available under Rs 8,000. But after the change in GST rates, it has become a part of this segment. Redmi 8, launched as an upgrade of Redmi 7, has a good build quality. The design is also beautiful and it has a USB Type-C port. Apart from this, the handset also supports 18 watt fast charging.
You get an HD+ screen in Redmi 8, but its processor is slightly weaker than the Redmi 7. You will be able to play games on this phone. But its performance will lag behind in games with more powerful graphics. Camera performance is the same as other handsets.
Only one variant of Xiaomi Redmi 8 is available in the sale. It comes with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage and is priced at Rs 8,999.
