Mobile Phones Under 10000 is the most popular segment in the smartphone market, especially in emerging countries like India. Nowadays, budget smartphones have all the features and ample processing power for you to carry out almost all the basic tasks swiftly and smoothly. Not only that, the advanced features that were only available in mid-range and high-end smartphones a couple of years ago have made their way to the budget smartphones, such as dual-cameras, 4K video recording, nearly bezel-less display, and the latest Android version at launch.
With so many options in the market, picking up a smartphone isn’t easy. But we’ve put together a list of the best mobile phones under 10000 for you. As usual, we’ve restricted ourselves to phones that have fared well in our review process.
1. Redmi 9 Prime
Redmi 9 Prime came like a breath of fresh air in the market disrupted by the price hikes due to changes in GST rates in India. The handset is priced below Rs 10,000, but you get a quad-camera setup, a really good processor, good battery life, and even fast charging support with the Redmi 9 Prime. While Xiaomi lost its charm with the aggressive push from Realme and Samsung last year, Redmi 9 Prime put the brand back in the driving position for this price segment and also it is one of the best mobile phones under 10000

Realme Narzo 30A comes as a successor to the Narzo 20A and carries on the most affordable smartphone series reputation in every way possible.

3. Samsung Galaxy M02s
Samsung’s affordable Galaxy M02s is a smartphone that serves as a good entry point to the brand’s smartphones. While you don’t get the Samsung FHD+ display panel that ships with higher-priced phones here, you do get some nifty features such as a USB Type-C charging port, a great battery life, and a triple camera setup. The chipset on the phone is a bit dated, but it does the job for the price. As a result, it is one of the most selling mobile phones under 10000.

4. POCO C3
Xiaomi Poco C3 is an affordable device having impressive features considered in this price range. The smartphone is packed with huge battery life with fast charging, decent camera setup, good display, decent processor, and 4G VoLTE. However, its aspect ratio of 19.5:9 might seem a bit odd or uncomfortable for some users, especially those having dexterity issues. But, overall, the Xiaomi Poco C3 is worth a try if you have budget constraints.

It is rare to see a 6,000 mAh battery with mobile phones under 10000 in India and even rarer to see such an offering from bigger brands. Realme C12 is one such unicorn as it offers a much bigger battery capacity, in addition to some neat specs all around, to deliver a holistic package in this price category. While Realme C12 still has room for improvement in camera quality, the other aspects of the phone make a strong case for the handset.
