[section label=”List of Phones (6 to 10)”] [section label=”6. Samsung Galaxy On7″]

6. Samsung Galaxy On7:

To regain its lost grounds in the budget segment, Samsung has launched its new Galaxy On5 and On7 in India. The Galaxy On7 is the more powerful out of the two and makes a better proposition so let’s talk about it. Starting with the design, the Galaxy On7 has the typical Samsung design with plastic build. It has a leather like textured back panel and beautiful metal-like plastic edges on the sides, the build quality is decent. It sports a 5.5 inches TFT screen with HD resolution, turning out a 267 ppi pixel density. The display quality is decent but far better displays are available at this price. The Galaxy On7 is powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 Quad Core Processor coupled with 1.5 GB of RAM and gives a good lag free performance. It features a 13 MP rear and 5 MP front camera and like other Samsung phones, the picture quality of both the cameras is good. The phone runs on Android v5.1 with Samsung’s own TouchWiz UI running on top of it. Samsung has revamped the Touchwiz UI, it is now optimized, looks beautiful and comes with less bloatwares. The phone supports 4G on both the sim slots. It comes with 8 GB of internal storage which should have been atleast 16 GB, however it is expandable upto 128 GB via microSD card. A good thing about the phone is its big 3000 mAh removable battery, the phone is not very resource intensive and thus it delivers good battery backup. Overall, the Galaxy On7 packs all the necessary features but it is far behind from what the competition is offering at the same price but, it still can be a good choice if you specially want a Samsung phone for its reliability and after sales service. The Galaxy On5 priced at Rs. 8,990 has same design but comes with a smaller 5 inches screen, 8 MP camera & 2600 mAh battery, it can be a good choice if you are looking for a 5 inches phone. If you increase your budget a little the Galaxy J5 will be a better choice.

[alert variation=”alert-error”]Comparison: Honor 4X Vs Yu Yureka Vs Redmi Note 4G: Which is the Best?[/alert] [section label=”11. Lava Pixel V1″] [alert variation=”alert-success”]It would have been unfair if I didn’t include the Lava Pixel V1 in this list so, we have the 11th phone in our list.[/alert]

11. Lava Pixel V1 (Android One 2.0):

The Pixel V1 is Lava’s first Android One phone and it is the first phone among the 2nd generation of Android One phones in India. FYI, last year Google in partnership with local manufacturers like Micromax, Karbonn & Spice launched its Android One program in India, which has the motive to provide a pure Android experience with decent hardware certified by Google itself and regular Android updates at a very low price. Although the 1st generation Android One phones didn’t received a huge response. The Lava Pixel V1 is much improved over the early Android One phones. It has a simple design but decent build quality, it has a 76.3% screen-to-body ratio which makes the phone compact, also, it weighs just 135 grams. It packs a bigger 5.5 inches HD display with 267 ppi pixel density, the display quality is decent. The screen is protected by Dragontrail Glass from Asahi. It runs on 1.3 GHz Quad Core Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM, it delivers decent day-to-day performance but it isn’t built for heavy usage. The phone runs on the latest Android 5.1.1 with stock Android UI and the best part of Android One is that, you get guaranteed upgrade to the latest Android OS for the next 2 years. The Pixel V1 has a 13 MP BSI rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, 5P Largan lens and blue glass filter, the picture quality is good. Interestingly, it has 8 MP BSI front camera with f/2.4 aperture, 4P Largan lens and blue glass filter. It comes with 32 GB internal storage which is also expandable upto 32 GB. It supports dual sim but misses out on 4G. The 2650 mAh battery gives decent battery life to the phone. Overall, it is a good phone and packs some interesting features but the competition is fierce, you can get the Moto G (3rd Gen) at around the same price which delivers the same pure Android Experience in a better manner but, it still can be a good buying choice. Lava has also launched the Pixel V2 with 8MP front camera and front flash.
