The Realme P3 is a solid choice for budget users seeking top-notch performance. Its new chipset ensures smooth gaming, and the 6,000mAh battery supports long sessions. Despite its large chin, the vibrant display enhances viewing. However, the software, while smooth, comes with bloatware, and the camera struggles with lighting inconsistencies. Still, for power-hungry users, its a great pick. If you prefer a cleaner software experience, the CMF Phone 1 is a compelling alternative.

The Vivo T4X delivers great battery life, consistent performance, and decent cameras in a stylish body. While its LCD display, average speakers, and spammy software leave room for improvement, it's still a reliable budget choice under Rs 15,000.

At 21,999, the POCO X7 is a sleek, stylish phone offering a fantastic multimedia experience and long-lasting battery life. It handles daily tasks well. But there are flaws, like an underwhelming ultra-wide camera and spammy notifications which may dampen your excitement. If you prioritise photography, consider the iQOO Z9s, and for a clean UI, the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is a better choice.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro isnt a major upgrade over its predecessor or quite Pro, but its still solid value under Rs 20,000. You get a vivid display, clean UI, good battery life, and reliable daylight photos. Downsides include lackluster performance gains, a mono speaker, and awkward button placement. For better sound and power, opt for the Realme P3 5G. Prefer long battery life? The Vivo T4x is a way to go.

With its vibrant display and 90Hz refresh rate, the Galaxy A16 offers a smooth experience for everyday tasks. However, it heats up during extended gaming sessions, and its camera is just average, especially for selfies. If you're after solid performance and battery life, its a good choice. But for a more well-rounded experience in the under-Rs 20,000 range, consider options like the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite or iQOO Z9s.
