Top 5 smartphones between Rs. 15,000 – Rs. 20,000


The Indian smartphone market is quite tricky. Extending your budget by a bit gives you a better device and if you keep on extending it, you end up paying a lot more than you thought you would for a smartphone. This confusion reaches its peak in the mid-range segment where there are so many different devices at really small price intervals.

Top 5 smartphones between Rs. 15,000 – Rs. 20,000

The buyers more often than not end up being in a dilemma as to what should they go in for. They want to go in for devices which are better than the entry level/lower mid-range smartphones and but don’t want to go in for an upper mid-range/flagship smartphone due to budgetary contraints. So hitting the sweet spot is quite the tough call.
