Every month hundreds of readers of this blog comment and ask me which phone they should choose among the crowded market. Which has enabled me to better understand the requirements and view-point of the buyers. So I am trying to make this list even easier for you by giving you appropriate information. You are always welcome to ask your queries.
[section label=”List of Phones”]
So, let’s take a look at the Best Phone Under 7000 Rs:
[jumbotron heading=”#Please Read:”]We believe that specifications of the phones just tell the half story, a great user experience matters more than great specifications. So, while preparing this list we have considered everything, the specifications, hardware, software (UI), real-world performance, user experience, brand value, after sales service and more. We see a phone as a complete package which should at the end deliver great satisfaction to the user and our rankings are based on the same principles. We consider every phone from biggest to the smallest brands and give our honest opinions.[/jumbotron] [section label=”1. Yu Yuphoria”]
1. Micromax Yu Yuphoria:
The competition is the fiercest now! And as the result of the competition just see what we are getting now at this low price. With the Yuphoria, Micromax has tried to put everything we would want in a phone – A great design with metal bezels, good build quality, amazing software in the form of Cyanogen 12 OS, a very good performance, good cameras and a decent battery life. Well in no manner I am overstating about the phone. Micromax has actually stuffed the phone too much at a very low price. It runs on a Quad-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM. Has a good 5 inches HD display. It has a good 8 MP rear camera with f2.2 aperture lens which means it will allow the sensor to capture more light and will increase the DOF (Depth of Field), in short it will take pictures with a great quality. The 5 MP front camera with 4p lens & 85 degree wide-angle lens allows you to capture great selfies with more people in it. The Yuphoria is also great in storage with its 16 GB internal and a upto 32 GB expandable storage. It also offers 4G and dual sim support. When it comes to design the phone looks and feels great. It has metallic bezels which adds a great value to the feel of phone, the big circular camera module at the back also looks good. The 2230 mAH battery doesn’t promise a huge battery life but it’s good. The Micromax subsidiary Yu Televentures has got huge success with the Yu Yureka and same is bound to happen with the Yu Yuphoria. Overall, the phone is a complete package, offers best performance and design and is the best you can get at this price.
[section label=”2. Lenovo A6000 Plus”]
2. Lenovo A6000 Plus:
Lenovo has again played a master-stroke in the 7000 Rs. price range, first it launched the Lenovo A6000 which was the cheapest 4G smartphone in India and now they have launched the A6000 Plus which has 2 GB RAM. It is built to kill the competition! Before we come to the actual specifications, let’s talk about the design of the phone. The design is pretty simple & there are no fancy stuffs! But yes it looks decent and is sturdy. It is powered by a Quad-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 Processor which is quite popular and delivers decent performance. It has got 2 GB RAM which makes sure the device runs smooth, lag free and can handle heavy usage. The 5 inches HD screen is decent at this price. It has got an 8 MP rear camera which is pretty good, it has also got a 2 MP front camera and LED Flash. The A6000 Plus has got the internal storage increased to 16 GB from the 8 GB internal storage in A6000, it is also expandable upto 32 GB. The 2300 mAh battery of the phone is removable and gives enough battery backup. It runs on Lenovo’s custom skin based on top of Android 4.4 Kitkat. Lenovo also promises good sound quality with the Twin Dolby speakers which offer enhanced volume and crisp sound, the company says. Overall it is a very good phone at this price and offers a great package too.

[section label=”3. Moto E (2nd Gen)”]
3. Moto E (2nd Gen) (4G):
After the grand success of the massively popular Moto E, Motorola has launched the successor of it – The Moto E (2nd Gen) which is now more powerful. The Moto E (2nd Gen) sports a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor which is coupled with 1 GB RAM. It has 8 GB of internal storage which can be expanded up to 32 GB via Micro SD Card. It features a 5 MP rear camera with auto focus and a 0.3 MP front camera which was missing in the 1st Gen Moto E but, it still lacks the LED flash. One thing is clear this phone is not meant for camera lovers. It runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop OS and will continue to get the future Android updates which is a great deal. It also features a 2,390 mAh battery which is bigger and better than the previous Moto E, it can easily last for a day. It also has the water-repellent and anti-smudge coatings. This phone doesn’t offer you the best of the specifications at this price but, it does offer a great user experience. It has got a solid build quality and beautiful design, the UI is stock Android and is great, the phone is fast enough, and the battery life is very good. Overall, it is not for power users or camera lovers, but if you want a decent phone for everyday normal usage, this can be a very good choice.
[alert variation=”alert-error”]Comparison: Moto E (2nd Gen) vs Asus Zenfone 5: Which is the Best?[/alert] [section label=”4. Xiaomi Redmi 2″]
4. Xiaomi Redmi 2:
Xiaomi has quickly captured the Indian smartphone market, they have delivered some great value for money phones in India. The Redmi 2 is the successor of the very popular Redmi 1S. It features a 4.7 inches HD display. The Redmi 2 is powered by the 64-bit 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, which is an upgrade from Redmi 1s. It has 1 GB RAM, and the phone runs smoothly most of the times. It runs on MIUI 6.0 skin based on Android v4.4.4 (KitKat), it gives you a completely different android experience. The Redmi 2 comes with 8 GB of internal storage which can be expanded via Micro SD card up to 32 GB. The Redmi 2 also supports USB On The Go (UOTG) which will allow users to connect other USB peripherals like keyboard, game-pad, etc, which is quite interesting. It boasts of a good 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP Selfie camera, which are capable of clicking sharp and high-quality images. It has a 2200 mAh battery. Overall, it is a very good phone and gives a good balanced user experience. If you can extend your budget upto 8,000 Rs, you can also go with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G.
[section label=”5. InFocus M350″]
5. InFocus M350:
The American company InFocus has recently launched the M350. The phone on the first looks doesn’t look like any thing great, its design from the outside as well as its UI inside look like a thing of past, they are dull and old but, the build quality is good. It runs on 1.5 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6732 Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM and the performance is decent. It has a 5 inches HD screen with good display quality and good viewing angles. It has an 8 MP rear camera which has decent quality but the USP of the phone is its 8 MP front camera which has good quality. It has 16 GB internal storage which is expandable upto 64 GB. The 2500 mAh battery provides decent battery life. Overall, this phone has nothing special that you should go for, especially when there are awesome phones like the Yuphoria already present at the same price. This phone has taken the no. 5 spot in our list which was the place of Huawei Honor Holly until last month but, at the current time, both of them are not a good buy.
