There are just way too many phones around Rs 10,000, so it’s nothing less of a daunting task to pick the best one. We’ve compiled a list of 10 best phones under Rs 10,000 for this month, so your task becomes easier.
To make things clear, phones with hybrid SIM slot allow you to either place a second SIM or a microSD card, but not both at the same time. So, it can be considered a disadvantage.
2GB RAM, 16GB memory doesn’t cut it for a phone that costs Rs 10,000.
You can jump to the summary right away if you don’t want to go through myriad of specs.
These are the 10 best phones under Rs 10,000 in India (2018):
*Top 3 picks around Rs 10,000*
1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
3GB RAM/ 32GB storage
Buy on Flipkart @ Rs 9,990
4GB RAM/ 64GB storage
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
Despite similar specs to the Redmi Note 4, the Note 5 is a solid offering with that new 18:9 display. 32GB of internal memory, 3GB RAM, one of the best processors in this budget and a big battery make it one of the best phones in this budget.

What could have been better:
The hybrid slot if that bothers you.

2. Oppo RealMe 2
3GB RAM/ 32GB storage
4GB RAM/ 64GB storage
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
Here’s what’s improved in RealMe 2 over its predecessor: it comes with dual cameras and a bigger battery. We always liked the RAM and storage options for the budget.

What could have been better:
When you reduce the resolution of the display or replace the processor with a slower one, RealMe 2 can’t really be called an upgrade over the RealMe 1. Don’t believe us? Check these benchmarking results. No wonder there’s no 6GB RAM variant.

3. Lenovo K8 Note
Buy on Amazon
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
K8 Note comes with great features such as a dual camera, 32GB internal storage and a large battery. Android 8.0 out of the box adds to the overall package. The Helio X23 also beats the Snapdragon 625 in synthetic benchmarks.

Redmi Y2
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
Redmi Y2 comes with a great processor comparable to phones under Rs 13,000 along with Android 8.0 and dual cameras. Oh, the main selling point for the phone is its front camera though.

Moto G5s
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
Besides the reliability of the Moto brand, you get 4GB RAM and Android 7.1 out of the box. Other specs are also decent for the asking price.

OPPO A71
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
It’s a rare Oppo phone that has been spec’d decently well for the budget. Snapdragon 450? Hurray. Oh and the Android 7.1 isn’t shabby either.

What could have been better:
C’mon, you could have given us at least 32 gigs of storage.

Xiaomi Redmi 5
Pros and Cons
What’s good:
Redmi 5 comes with the latest processor from Qualcomm and a decently large battery, both of which stand out at the asking price for the phone. It also shows off it’s 18:9 display rather proudly.

What could have been better:
There’s that minor issue of the hybrid SIM slot. Also, we wish it came with Android 8.0 out of the box.

Not to confuse you with the camera specs listed above, we’ve listed the specs as (megapixels), and (aperture), Generally speaking, bigger the aperture, better is the camera. Which means smaller number in the denominator, the bigger the aperture is. For example, f/1.9 is a bigger aperture and than f/2.0. A bigger aperture camera performs much better in low light situations and produces sharper images. It also produces a better brokeh.
Standout features in the top smartphones under Rs 10,000:
The top mobile phones under Rs 10,000 these days come with features like dual camera, Android 8.0, 4GB RAM, and 32 gigs of internal memory. It’s also nice to have a full HD display, but it seems like you’ll have to make a trade-off for other features if you want a phone with full HD display. Snapdragon 4xx series is among the best in the budget, while MediaTek 6737 is pretty slow for this budget.
