1. Realme C1:
Should you buy?
The Realme C1 brings down the very trending feature of a big bezel-less display with a notch at a very affordable price. With its glass-like glossy back, the phone looks very stylish and beautiful, and it also packs in a good processor along with a huge battery which delivers great backup. However, it misses out on a fingerprint scanner, has got low RAM and storage, and comes with an average selfie camera. But still, if you want to experience a phone with good design and bezel-less display at an affordable price, the Realme C1 can be a very good buy.

2. Lenovo A5 (3/32 GB):
Should you buy?
Lenovo is back in the Indian market after a very long time & they claim that they disappeared from the Indian market to get a deeper understanding of what users want. Looks like they have succeeded in that as the Lenovo A5 is a very well balanced phone. It comes with everything a budget smartphone buyer is looking for, be it the tall 18:9 display, good-looking design, excellent cameras for the price, acceptable performance, latest Android, fingerprint scanner, face unlock & a huge battery. It is a pretty solid overall package in the entry budget segment & the good thing is that it doesn’t come with any major omissions like most phones at this price do. So, can be a very good buy if you are not after very high performance.

5. Asus Zenfone Lite L1:
Should you buy?
Overall, the Asus Zenfone Lite L1 is a balanced package. It packs in a decent performance with a Snapdragon processor and can play games like PUBG at the lowest settings well, which hardly few phones can manage at this price. It has also got a good display, good design & decent cameras which can produce good bokeh effects in portrait mode. However, it has a major shortcoming as it lacks a fingerprint scanner & it relies solely on face unlock, which is accurate & not very slow most of the times. So, if you can live without the fingerprint scanner, the Asus Zenfone Lite L1 can be a good buy for its price.

6. 10.or D2:
Should you buy?
Overall, the 10.or D2 is an interesting package from Amazon’s inhouse brand. It packs in a bright 18:9 aspect ratio display, good cameras for the price, facial unlock (which is a bit slow), good battery backup, latest Android with almost stock UI and splash resistance, which is a good surprise at this price. However, it comes with an old Snapdragon processor which may not deliver very high performance, has got rather thick bezels than most phones and also misses out on the fingerprint scanner. Still, the 10.or D2, as a package delivers a good balanced experience and can be a good buy at this price.
