Smartphones under ₹7,000 may not be the most flashy or powerful devices. But for the simpletons and new smartphone users out there, these are pretty good for the basic calling texting and the rare social media usage. Today’s sub-₹7,000 smartphones can also run games and come with pretty decent cameras, even if we compare that with budget phones from a couple of years ago. Brands like Redmi, Lava, Infinix, Realme, and the likes offer good value for money in the sub-₹7,000 segment.

Its impressive battery life with a 5,000mAh battery with 10W fast charging and a decent 8MP dual camera make it a great option for users seeking value without compromising on essential features.

Infinix Smart 8HD is another sub-₹7,000 offering which is also a good value for money since we are getting several features that are not usually available in this range. For example, we are getting a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. There is also a ring LED flash with the 50MP dual rear camera.

The Realme C61 is one of the few smartphones in this range that offer an IP rating and an Armour Shell protection, making it a tough device. We are getting a 6.74-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. In terms of performance we are getting a Unisoc T612 chipset with up to 6GB of RAM which isn’t the best in the segment. The battery is pretty good with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W fast charging so this is good for a day and a half’s usage. The camera is also passable with a 32MP rear camera that will just get the job done, if not make you feel like a smartphone photographer.

Launched earlier this year, the Lava O2 is one of the most affordable offering from the homegrown brand. The Lava O2 offers a good bang for your buck with a 90Hz IPS LCD display with an HD+ resolution. It also comes with a 50MP dual rear camera setup along with an 8MP selfie shooter. We are also getting at least a day and a half’s battery with the 5,000mAh unit and 18W fast charging. However, it is not a gaming or high-performance device since we’re only getting a Unisoc T616 chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM.
