10 Best Android Phones under 20000 Rs (September 2015)
6. HTC Desire 820s:
The HTC Desire 820s is the newer variant of the Desire 820. The Desire 820 already packed great specs and features and the 820s carries forward the same design but with improved performance. Let’s start with the design, it has the exact same design of the Desire 820. The body measures 7.74mm and is built with plastic which attracts fingerprints, it looks beautiful but doesn’t feel very premium. It runs on the Octa-core 1.7 GHz Mediatek MT6752 Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM which gives good performance and the phone runs very smoothly, you can play heavy games without lags. It has a 5.5 inches screen with the screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels which turns out 267 ppi pixel density, in total it is a decent display but a better screen could have made the phone perfect as this is the only factor where the phone scores average otherwise it’s great. The phone has a 13 MP rear camera and 8 MP front camera (selfie lovers can jump out of their seat!) Both the cameras are really very good. The phone is decent on storage also. It has 16 GB internal storage which is expandable upto 32 GB. The Desire 820s has also got a decent battery life with the 2600 mAh battery. It supports Dual-sim and is 4G (LTE) capable. Overall, the HTC Desire 820s can be a very good choice if you want a beautiful phone with great performance from a reputed international brand like HTC.

[section label=”7. Samsung Galaxy E7″]
7. Samsung Galaxy E7:
Samsung has rejuvenated its smartphone line up in India. It has launched number of new smartphones across price ranges. The Samsung Galaxy E7 is one of its great new launches. It is powered by the popular Snapdragon 410 Processor paired with 2 GB RAM. The performance of the phone is very good, its smooth, fast and lag-free but it’s not meant for heavy usage. One thing which is very impressive in the Samsung Galaxy E7 is its display quality. It sports a 5.5 inches Super AMOLED screen with 720 x 1280 pixels turning out 267 ppi pixel density, though these numbers are not very good for a 5.5 inches phone, the display quality is very impressive. The phone is also excellent in the camera department. It has a 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera, the picture quality of both the cameras is very good even at night. The phone supports Dual Sim and it has 16 GB internal storage which is expandable upto 64 GB but, there is a catch – the sim 2 slot is also used as the slot for SD card so at a time you can either use the second sim or the external memory card. Overall, it is very good device and can be a great choice if you want a large 5.5 inches screen phone with decent performance from a highly reputed brand like Samsung. Around this price the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is also available, it can be a great choice if you want to experience the Note series of Samsung which comes with a stylus. Also, the Samsung Galaxy A5 can also be a good alternative if you want a 5 inches phone. But the Galaxy E7 is best among the three.
