Under Rs. 60,000

Here we give you our recommendations for the best phones in the market under Rs 60,000 updated regularly. We shall be suggesting phones, which we believe are the best in this price, along with a brief description of each, and our verdict, highlighting the differences between them.

Under Rs.60,000
In this price range we recommend the following two devices:

1. OnePlus 8 pro :
-Starting price Rs 54,999
- Processor: Snapdragon 865
-OS: Oxygen OS 10, Android 10 (close to stock android)
-Display: 6.78 inch Super Amoled, QHD+ punch hole display (Gorilla Glass 6), refresh=120Hz
-Memory: 8Gb Ram + 128Gb Internal (up to 12 + 256);[fast ufs 3.0]
-Camera: 48Mp primary + 48Mp Ultra-wide + 8Mp telephoto + 5Mp depth
-Front Camera: 16Mp primary
-Battery and Charging: 4510mAh at 30W warp charging, (50% in 23 mins); 30W fast wireless charging.
-Speaker: Dual stereo speakers, headphone jack absent
-MicroSD card: No slot
-Fingerprint Scanner: Optical, In-Display
-IP68 water and dust resistance certified.

2.  Samsung Galaxy S10+
-Starting price: Rs 61,900 (verify here)
- Processor: Exynos 9820
-OS: One UI 2.0 , Android 10
-Display: 6.4 inch Super Amoled, QHD+ punch hole display (Gorilla Glass 6), refresh=60Hz
-Memory: 8Gb Ram + 128Gb Internal (up to 12 + 1Tb);[slower ufs 2.1]
-Camera: 12Mp primary + 16Mp Ultra-wide + 12Mp Telephoto
-Front Camera: 10Mp primary + 8Mp depth sensor
-Battery and Charging: 4100mAh at 15W fast charging; 15W wireless charging
-Speaker: Dual Stereo speakers, headphone jack present 
-MicroSD card: Hybrid SD card slot present
-Fingerprint Scanner: Ultra-Sonic, In-Display
-IP68 water and dust resistance certified.

[Note: Even though the s10+ starts at Rs 61,900 , it has been kept in this list. For strictly less than 60,000, check out the S10. It has a slightly weaker camera and a smaller display, rest of the features are almost the same, and at a price of  around 53,000.
Note: The S20 is the latest offering from Samsung, and it houses a better processor, a better 120Hz display, a better camera, and better battery life, but it starts at around Rs 66,000. So it has been kept out of this list.]

 
 The Verdict: The OnePlus 8 pro is the best phone under Rs 60,000.

Comparative advantage:cheaper price, better processor, better display, faster ufs 3.0 storage, better cameras, faster charging, bigger battery.
Comparative disadvantage: single front camera, micro-sd card slot absent, slightly less secure optical fingerprint scanner.



Also, as it has been noticed in the market at this price, besides the overall best phone, people generally tend to request for either the best Samsung phone, or the best phone with a Stock Android UI, or the best iPhone. We have included these special categories as well:
(these are not phones we recommend, nor are the best in this segment)

The best Samsung phone: Samsung Galaxy S10+
(comparison with OnePlus 8 pro:)
Comparative advantage: dual front camera, hybrid sd card slot present, more secure ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Comparative disadvantage: more expensive, weaker processor, display is not as good, slower ufs 2.1 storage, weaker cameras, slower charging, smaller battery.


The best phone with Stock Android: OnePlus 8 pro
-Oxygen OS is very similar to stock android.


The best iPhone: iPhone 10s
-Price: Rs 59,998 (reference)
[The OnePlus 8 pro is technically much better than the iPhone 10s in every way, but this is for someone looking for an Apple Product at this price.]

Realme... A formidable player?

All of us know that Realme has been making some amazing smartphones at some really affordable prices. Their phones have really been the buzz around town, and this growth has boomed quite recently. Here we take a look at this company, and why Realme might be the next big brand to watch out for. A sub-brand of Oppo, Realme started off by launching its first phone, the Realme 1, as recently as May 2018. Instantly it became a rage, and the sales numbers of the company even in its recent years were incredible. The company was started as a rival to the vastly popular and the budget king - Xiaomi. The idea was simple, to offer everything that Xiaomi did, and more at a price point which was just as affordable. The phone was instantly a success. They managed to provide a particularly great camera experience, far better than the ones offered by the rival companies in this segment. This appealed to the young crowd, the main target of this budget category, and the company saw great profits by

Motorola One Fusion Plus ... They are back!

In the past, Motorola had been manufacturing some amazing smartphones in the budget and mid range market, in the range of Rs 15,000 -17,000. After the G6 though, things took a turn downwards for the company. The phones they made were not nearly as good as they used to, and the competition was offering much better options. They launched some flagship smartphones like the Moto Razr and the Moto Edge Plus. But they were not huge success stories for the company too. However, the new Moto One Fusion Plus seems to check all the boxes. Coming in at Rs.17,000, the phone is available at a very good price and might be just the thing the company has been looking for to be back in the budget game. Here is an overview of the phone and our thoughts on it. Display : The Motorola One Fusion Plus comes with a 6.5 inch IPS LCD FHD+ display with a 60Hz refresh rate. The best part about this display is that it is a full view, notch-less design. They are able to achieve this by a pop up front camera, whic

Google Pixel Buds... Surprisingly Awesome?

The Pixel Buds are here, and these are one of the best truly wireless headphones you can get. They obviously are not perfect, but considering the price they are available for, they actually do a lot, and provide great value and amazing performance. Here is what we have to say about these headphones by google. To start things off, these buds will be available at a price of $179, which translates to around Rs 13,000. To give you some perspective, the Airpods pro, by Apple are available at around Rs 25,000 and the Galaxy Buds+ by Samsung are available at Rs 14,000. So definitely the Pixel Buds are not really cheap, but they are not insanely priced, considering what it brings to the table. The buds come with a sleek, small case, capably of supporting wireless charging. On the other plus side, the case also charges via USB C while many of the other buds use the typical micro-USB. The battery life of these buds on a single charge can last you around 5 hrs of listening time. Although i
