hello everyone,
The Redmi K20 is one of the best smartphones under 25k right now. It looks much more expensive than its price, and packs in the same camera setup and the display as the flagship K20 Pro. The only difference is the presence of a Snapdragon 730 instead of a flagship processor, and that's perfectly alright. The Snapdragon 730 uses the same cores as the Snapdragon 855 and offers most of the features that are there on the flagship SoC. On the back, the Redmi K20 houses a triple camera setup which includes a 48MP primary shooter, 13MP wide-angle and 8MP telephoto, offering a wide array of choices while shooting. The build quality of the phone is also quite solid.Weight: 184g | Dimensions: 156.7 x 74.3 x 8.8 mm | OS: Android 9.0 Pie | Screen size: 6.39-inch | Resolution: 1080 x 2340 | CPU: Snapdragon 730| RAM: 6GB | Storage: 64GB | Battery: 4,000mAh | Rear camera: 48MP + 13MP + 8MP | Front camera: 20MP

The Poco F1, the only launch so far from Xiaomi’s first
sub-brand Poco is a feature-packed mid-range device. It is the cheapest
Snapdragon 845 powered devices in India and with the recent price cuts, it
offers even more value for your money. While the device’s design is something
that the company has compromised on, the Poco F1 is durable with a sturdy
plastic build.
Xiaomi surprised everyone by pricing the Redmi Note 8 at under
Rs 10,000 for the base variant, making it one of the best value smartphones.
Samsung has more or less made itself relevant again in the
highly competitive budget segment with the launch of the Galaxy M series
earlier this year. The Galaxy M30s takes this forward with a refreshed design
and updated hardware.
The Samsung Galaxy A50s has a lot going for it. The device
features a glossy finish and sports an attractive display, a triple camera
setup that includes a good daylight camera, and decent battery life with fast
charging support all make it a phone that’s worth considering when you go out
to buy a new smartphone. While the Galaxy A50 performs well in daylight, its
low-light images are not up to the mark. If you are a heavy gamer, you might
want to skip this device and look at the other devices mentioned in this list. The device is available starting at Rs 22,999 in Black, Blue and White colour options. Display: 6.4-inch Full HD+

OneUI | Processor: Exynos 9611 | RAM: 4GB/6GB RAM | Storage: 128GB | Rear camera: 48MP + 8MP + 5MP | Front camera: 32MP | Battery: 4000mAh
The Realme XT is the best smartphone the company sells in India and is quite possibly one of the best in the segment too.
Blowing some serious heat, Realme has launched another worthy a contender in the budget segment with the Realme 5. Aimed at buyers who are
looking for a smartphone that delivers great bang for their buck, the Realme 5
is powered by a decently powered Snapdragon chipset.
Xiaomi's smartphones have been a hit in the budget segment and
that trend has continued for years. However, not everyone is a fan of MIUI and
Xiaomi has acknowledged that with the launch of its Android One series of
smartphones.
