New Delhi: Smartphones have became one of the basic needs for humans, and the evergreen under 10K category has witnessed a revival recently after consumers realised that the higher price bands do not have much better offerings. The best smartphone stands out with its performance, which relies on the processor of the device. The more powerful the chip, the better the performance. Here are the top five smartphones under the budget of 10K with Snapdragon processors. The device includes Poco M6 Pro at Rs 9,999, then Poco M7 at Rs 9,498, Oppo A5x 4G at Rs 8,999, Xiaomi Redmi A4 at Rs 7,998, and Poco C75 5G at Rs 7,699, which is the cheapest option.
Compared to the other four smartphones, the Oppo A5x 4G is packed with the largest 6000 mAh battery. However, it has the least rear camera of the other four; it has a 32 MP back camera, while the others come with a 50 MP back camera. All the smartphones feature video recording at 1080@30fps. If you are looking for a device that can provide you more power in a single charge, then you can go for the Oppo A5x 4G, even though it doesn’t stand out in the camera segment.
Picking the best display is a choice between speed and resolution
POCO M7 and Poco M6 Pro are the phones with the highest pixels for the front camera, with a quality of eight MP, which can help you in clear FaceTime meetings and for clean selfies. While the other smartphone came up with 5 MP for the front camera, the Poco M6 Pro ensures you the highest display resolution of 1080×2460 but can only feature a speed of 90 Hz, while the Xiaomi Redmi A4, Poco C75 5G, and Poco M7 support 120 Hz of speed.
Then in the category of display brightness, the Oppo A5x 4G is the only phone that can provide you the peak brightness of 1000 nits and comes with Android 15 support, while the Poco C75 5G, Xiaomi Redmi A4, and POCO M7 have Android 14, and the Poco M6 Pro has Android 13. And apart from the Oppo A5x 4G, other devices feature peak display brightness lower than 600 nits.
All five smartphones were equipped with a 3.5 mm jack, and for smartphone security, all devices came with side-mounted fingerprint sensors.
