Overall, the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S is an almost identical smartphone to the Redmi Note 7 Pro, with the only major difference being the use of Snapdragon 660 processor instead of the Snapdragon 675, which in itself is a very good and powerful processor. Keep that aside & it also carries great cameras, beautiful glass back design, the same big battery, same display & all the good set of features. It perfectly bridges the gap between the Redmi Note 7 & Redmi Note 7 Pro & the users looking for a great camera experience of the Redmi Note 7 Pro but don’t need the additional performance for heavy gaming (don’t worry, it still handles moderate games very smoothly) can go with it with closed eyes, it’s an absolute best for them.

Overall, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is a very powerful & complete smartphone around the price of Rs. 10,000. It looks beautiful and feels premium with a glass back design, packs an excellent & powerful Snapdragon 660 processor, very good cameras, excellent display, big battery, latest Android with the beautiful MIUI & good set of features. It takes the bar higher for the segment & delivers great value for money with a great user experience for all types of users.

The Samsung Galaxy M20 is the next generation Samsung budget phone with lots of features for a competitive price point. It packs in a big beautiful display, good design, good rear cameras with wide angle mode, good selfies, good performance, huge battery with fast charging, dedicated sim slots and has also got the update for latest Android with Samsung’s excellent One UI. Overall, it is a very good package with almost all the boxes ticked, negligible cons, very good user experience, correct pricing and service and brand value of Samsung, and can be a good buying choice.

Overall, the Realme U1 is a good smartphone with good design, good quality display, good performance, decent battery, good software features & UI after the Android 9 Pie update and good rear camera quality but the best thing about the phone is its big 25 MP selfie shooter which has amazing quality for the price. So, the math is simple, it is a good smartphone with the best front camera and is recommended for the users who give the highest importance to selfies, however, other users can get a more powerful smartphone with better user experience, bigger battery and better rear cameras around a similar price.

Overall, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is another solid offering from HMD Global. It brings in a beautiful, compact & premium feeling fiberglass back design, bezel less display with a notch, excellent performance, decent cameras, decent battery backup & all this with the sweetness of Android One which ensures stock UI & faster security & Android updates. One thing which would have made the phone perfect for its price is a FHD+ display, however, the HD+ display on the phone isn’t bad either. The Nokia 5.1 Plus isn’t the best but it is indeed a very good budget smartphone and if you are looking for a clean, stock Android interface, there is nothing better than this around Rs. 10,000.

Overall, the LG W30 is an attempt from LG to revive its budget smartphone lineup like Samsung did with its Galaxy M series, but the LG W30 is not quite up to the mark. Two of the biggest drawbacks in the phone are, it packs in a weaker processor compared to all of its very powerful competitors and disappointingly also just packs in an HD display. However, not everything is bad in the phone, as it has also got good cameras on both the front and the rear, especially getting a wide angle lens for the price under Rs. 10,000 is worth noticing, design-wise also, the phone does well with its good build quality and pattern on the back panel. Pleasingly, LG has ditched its custom UI and ships the LG W30 with an almost stock Android. So, the LG W30 is clearly not a phone for gamers and heavy users, but if you are not much into gaming and like stock Android, the LG W30 can well be a decent choice, however, most users should just go for the much better phones in this price point.
