The best phones under Rs. 20,000 you can buy in India


With 5G connectivity now official in India, most budget smartphones these days either offer better hardware with 5G radios or slightly compromised features with 5G connectivity. With that said, there are plenty of choices available in the sub Rs. 20,000 smartphone segment, whether you’re looking for better cameras, good battery life, faster charging, or even an IP52 rating.

Our latest additions to this guide include Moto G72 and Moto G82 5G. Both smartphones compliment each other as they offer capable hardware with interesting designs. However, the Moto G72 is priced at Rs. 17,999 only offers 4G connectivity, while the Moto G82 adds 5G connectivity at a slightly higher price of Rs. 19,999. The latter has recently received a sale and is currently offering a competitive offer at our sub Rs. 20,000 tutorials.

Here are Gadgets 360’s picks of the top phones under Rs. 20,000 in India, in no particular order.

Moto G72

The Moto G72 feels like a weird thing, mainly because it’s launched later Moto G82 5G and still lack 5G. The phone is quite capable and offers impressive hardware specs like a 108-megapixel main camera and a 120Hz high-refresh rate pOLED display. It’s fairly lightweight, has a slim design, and even offers an IP52 rating for splash resistance. In our testing, we found that its 108-megapixel camera offers decent performance. Dual speakers and good battery life make for a good entertainment package. But its MediaTek Helio G99 SoC is not the most powerful processor available at this price point.

Moto G82 5G

Motorola’s Moto G82 5G The packaging is worth enough to make it a solid product. It’s been discounted recently, and it offers everything you could want from a budget smartphone, along with 5G connectivity. There’s a capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, a 120Hz high refresh rate display, a large 5,000mAh battery, and an IP52-rated design that can withstand splashes of water. Camera performance is also a strong point of the G82 5G as its main camera integrates OIS, which is great for sharper low-light photos. Of course, the cherry on the ice is its almost old Android software, with only a pre-installed third-party app.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G

A lot of fans have been waiting for an extra Rs. 20,000 OnePlus phones and in 2022 we finally have it. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is a more streamlined version of Nord CE 2 5G for the most part, but it offers slightly better specs in some areas. The phone has a sharp 120Hz display and runs the latest version of Android with little or no bloatware. It delivers great battery life along with fast charging and good performance for the price. If you want to own a OnePlus smartphone, or if long-term software updates rank high on the ‘must have’ list, you should consider the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.

Realme 9 version with 5G speed

The Realme 9 version with 5G speed is a more powerful model and certainly a more attractive model Realme 9 5G. With prices starting at just under Rs. 20,000, this phone has a powerful SoC, a 144Hz refresh rate display, and a large 5,000mAh battery. It also supports 30W fast charging, which is very convenient. In our opinion, the base variant is the one that doesn’t have a lot of direct competition and offers the best for your money if you’re looking for good performance in this segment. One thing to note is that this phone doesn’t have an ultra-wide camera and the video stabilization isn’t the best.

Vivo T1 5G

The first smartphone in Vivo’s T series, T1 5G, is a solid competitor with an impressive price tag for the base variant. You’ll get a 120Hz display and a 5G-ready Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, all packed into a body that’s just 8.25mm thin. The dewdrop notch at the top of the screen might be a bit dated, but this monitor has a 240Hz touch sampling rate, which should be good for gamers. The Vivo T1 5G lacks the ultra-wide-angle camera and comes with a relatively slow 18W charger, but for those focused purely on performance, it will be a good choice.

Redmi Note 11T 5G

Powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 810 SoC, this 5G-enabled budget smartphone from Xiaomi delivers decent performance for gamers along with good battery life. Shutterbugs may not be too pleased with Redmi Note 11T 5Gthe two rear cameras and their average performance. At the same time, the 90Hz LCD screen with 240Hz touch sampling rate makes it a budget smartphone capable of gaming. There is also a large 5,000mAh battery that can be quickly charged using the 33W charger provided in the box. The device is IP53 rated for dust and water resistance, so it can survive minor splashes.

Realme 8s 5G

The Realme 8s 5G looks similar to Realme 8 5G, except for the slightly thicker chin display. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G SoC and comes with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, depending on which variant you choose. Battery life is one of the strong points of this phone, and the 5,000mAh battery easily lasts more than a day of typical use. Its 64-megapixel main camera managed photos well in daylight in our tests, but the lack of an ultra-wide-angle camera makes the 8s 5G less versatile than some of the competition. Low-light camera performance was average, although Night Mode did help improve the outputs. Overall, the Realme 8s 5G is only a slight improvement over the 8 5G, but still an improvement.
