However, if the center of concern is your welfare, we are always on our toes for choosing the best products for you.
You might be thinking: ‘What made it tough for us to gather top 7 smartphones?’
So, here are the SPECS that we kept in mind while choosing the 7 best smartphones under 15000 in India.
Camera ?
[It’s just Ram being senti as he did not have a phone with a selfie camera feature! LOL ?]
If photoholic is a word that is made just for you then my friend, we did our best research to get you amazing phones with good cameras.
In the above-mentioned 7 mobile phones, there are phones with a 64 MP main rear camera and a 12 MP Selfie camera.
So, choose the one that you think will work for you.
RAM & Internal Storage ?
If RAM and Internal Storage of your phone are not enough, there is no meaning to purchase a new phone.
Generally purchasing a phone between 10,000 to 15,000 gives you RAM of 4GB/6GB and internal storage of 64GB/128GB.
However, there are models with 3/32 GB options as well. If you like their features, you can go for it with one thing in mind that it will fill up with data soon!
Expandable Memory ?
Expandable memory is useful for people who love to store multiple data on their smartphones.
Almost everyone uses an SD Card in their phone [if supported!]
The highest expandable memory to expect from a phone under 15000 is 512 GB, and we think it is SUFFICIENT!
You will also find models giving external storage up to 256 GB. Choose the one which you think is perfect for you.
Processor & SAR value
The processor is an important part of any mobile or computing device, so here are the types of processors that you will find under 15000:
MediaTek Helio

Exynos
There are other processors, but it belongs to another price range.
