READ REVIEWFULL SPECS

With a high-res 32MP selfie camera, the Redmi Y3 establishes as a selfie-centric phone in the market. But it’s more than that with an equally capable of dual camera on the back and decent performance thanks to a Snapdragon 632 SoC, especially in gaming. It also manages to look good with gradient colours and a waterdrop notch display. Between the Redmi Y3 and the Redmi Note 7, the Redmi Y3 does have a better selfie camera but the performance doesn’t match up to the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The Snapdragon 632 is visibly slower than the Snapdragon 660. As a result, this phone is good mostly for selfie lovers. The dual rear cameras are decent and is assisted by AI scene recognition and comes with a night mode. Design wise, it looks a lot like the Redmi Note series phones, but with a more curved back and a plastic body. The Redmi Y3 is also surprisingly good at handling games like PUBG Mobile. Out of the other budget phones, this is perhaps the best for games like PUBG Mobile.

• CAMERA13 + 2 | 13 MP

With a premium design, the Realme 3 doesn’t like a budget phone at all. It’s also quite responsive thanks to a MediaTek Helio P70 SoC. You get a dual camera setup on the back capable of offering portrait mode, and a nearly bezel-less display thanks to a waterdrop notch design. A triple slot for a dedicated SD card sweetens the deal even more. The Realme 3 should be bought for a premium design but it might not be quite durable with a plastic body. During our review, it was quick to get scratched. There is a transparent case that’s provided in the box. As for performance, the Realme 3 has the highest scores in benchmark scores. The UI is also quite refined and looks far more aesthetic than before. The phone’s display is also pretty good and watching videos and playing games feel nice. The Realme 3’s camera is the only thing holding the phone back from becoming the best budget phone. The photos are mired with noise in low light and in day light, it tends to boost the contrast and saturation to make photos look palatable. It also lacks expected sharpness.

FULL SPECS

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is just like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but with stock Android. The same hardware that makes the Xiaomi phone on the best performers at that price, is also there on the Zenfone Max Pro M1. But the flavour is stock Android 8.1 Oreo. Apart from that you get a sturdy build quality and decent 16-megapixel dual cameras at the back. Easily one of the best phones under Rs 15,000. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 sold like hot cakes last year and was one of the most popular devices in the mid-range segment. The stock Android interface was backed by regular updates introducing new features as well as security patches. In fact, it’s also scheduled to get the update to Android 9 Pie. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 houses a large 5,000mAh battery along with a dual camera setup encased in a metal body. On the front is a standard LCD panel with no notch. Sitting in 2019, it only makes sense to buy the phone if the budget is tight and you require a phone with long battery life, decent performance and stock Android.

Also a selfie-centric phone, the Realme U1 has a 25MP selfie shooter capable of taking HDR selfies. Other than that, there’s the same MediaTek Helio P70 that’s also there on the Realme 3 ensuring stable performance. The Realme U1 is for those who prefer a good front camera without compromising on the performance and the budget. The Realme U1 is the answer to the Redmi Y-series and focuses more on the selfie camera than the rear camera. That said, the Realme U1 is also quite capable of delivering good performance. It’s quite fast to recognise scenes in the camera and apps and games load relatively faster on the phone. The display is also quite big to enjoy movies and TV shows, but it lacks the DRM certification to stream content in HD. The Realme U1’s claim to fame is a high-res selfie camera that does pixel binning to get better photos. The battery life is also pretty good with over a day’s usage guaranteed in a full charge.

SAMSUNG GALAXY M10

• SCREEN SIZE6.2″ (720 X 1520)
• CAMERA13 + 5 | 5 MP
• RAM3 GB
• BATTERY3400 MAH

FULL SPECSAdvertisements

The Samsung Galaxy M10 brings an ultra wide-angle camera to the under Rs 10,000 segment making it quite lucrative. There’s also a primary camera that performs good when the lighting is optimum. However, an old chipset means you won’t get the best performance, but it still works decently well thanks to optimisations Samsung has put in place. The Galaxy M10 also features a screen that almost stretches all the way to the edges thanks to a waterdrop notch and is one of the best when compared to other phones in that price range. The Galaxy M10 is a unique device. The wide-angle camera sets it apart in the budget segment, but it can’t really compete as an all-rounder as the performance is crippled thanks to an older chipset. The M10 does offer good battery life of over a day, however and for a budget phone buyer, good battery and decent cameras are fairly important. it can also handle casual games quite well while the usual social media apps works just fine. However, don’t go expected fast multi-tasking or heavy tasks like photo editing and the likes.
