Best 5G smartphones under Rs 20,000!
we always have a basic minimum criteria!
Criteria - Should have 5G, a minimum of 6GB RAM & 128GB storage, performance is very important!
should have a minimum of 48MP multi camera setup & fast charging, a fast refresh rate is a good addition.
We give more importance to that but it’s not a compulsory criteria. And 1 out of the 5 phones has 60Hz normal refresh rate.
I’m going to talk about everything but before buying any of these 5 phones, you’ll have to buy according to your importance.
Like display, performance, camera, battery etc.
Although, we rank them from 1 to 5, but you might change the ranking according to your likes.
So it’s important to remember these things when you make a smartphone buying decision!
Two phones are the same, but they’ve lowered in their rankings. They were at the top before & now have come down.
No.1) Realme 8s
If performance is important to you & cameras aren’t then you can definitely look at this!
Because its price is around Rs 20K(Rs 19,999) & the camera isn’t ultrawide.
It’s a 64MP+2MP+2MP camera setup & a 16MP front camera. So there’s no ultrawide despite the Rs 20K price.
And that’s why it’s at #5, if you look at its performance, then it’s definitely very good.
It comes on Dimensity 810 SoC, has a 6.5” IPS LCD with 90Hz fast refresh rate, a 5000mAh battery with 33W charging.
All other things are good but because of the camera, this comes at #5!
Friends, I must tell you the price for 8GB+128GB is Rs 19,999. Our minimum criteria has 6GB+128GB & that variant comes at Rs 17K.
So the price is quite good!
All smartphones mentioned have their product links in the description, do check them out.
NO.2) Realme Narzo 30 Pro
Compared to the realme 8s, it isn’t much different!
It has a 6.5” FHD+ display with 120Hz fast refresh rate, it’s priced at Rs 16,999 for 6GB+128GB(same as realme 8s).
But this one has Dimensity 800U SoC, while the realme 8s has Dimensity 810 SoC.
And this one has a 120Hz fast refresh rate so that’s a difference, rest all other specifications are same like 5000mAH battery, 30W charging
& this also has 6GB+128GB variants at similar pricing.
But looking at all other things, the camera especially includes ultrawide - 48MP+8MP+2MP.
So that makes it at #4!
NO.3) Realme X7 5G
It’s a little old but it’s still at #3. And in our May month’s list, this was in the top 2!
It’s interesting to see #5, #4 & #3 phones are realme phones. They’re bringing out some very aggressively priced phones.
So realme X7 is very good & it’s at #3 `because it has Dimensity 800U SoC, you get 6GB+128GB, a 4130mAh battery with 50W charging!
So the charging in this phone is more than the realme 8s & Narzo 30 Pro with 50W!
And if you look at the rear cameras, it’s got a better camera setup(64MP+8MP+2MP).
Meaning 64MP primary sensor & a 16MP selfie sensor but at Rs 19,999, looking at all things,
the realme X7 5G is at #3 but remember, the X series has been replaced by the GT series.
But the specifications on paper & the performance, makes it at #3!
The X7 is at #3 for another reason, it has an AMOLED screen with 60Hz. It doesn’t get a fast refresh rate but it’s an AMOLED screen.
I think it’s a no brainer! If the screen is AMOLED, then it makes a lot of difference & that’s why #3!
NO.4) Moto Edge 20 Fusion
This comes at Rs 21-21.5K but it’ll come at Rs 20K during offers/sales.
But if your budget is Rs 20K, & if you can stretch another Rs 1K, then you can definitely look at this.
If you want a clean UI & a good OS experience on a motorola phone & it’s camera is good too!
Let me tell you, it has a big 6,8” AMOLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate.
After that the performance includes Dimensity 800, which is a really good performer.
And for camera you get a 108MP+8MP+2MP triple camera setup. And on the front, there’s a 32MP selfie sensor.
So camera, performance & OS! Because you get a clean UI experience with motorola phones.
And the 6GB+128GB variant is available for Rs 21-21.5K. So it’s at #2 in my book, definitely!
And it’s great value for money! If you want a good display then you should definitely look at it!
Display, OS, performance, camera everything!
To talk about an all round phone, then you won’t go wrong with this!
NO.5) iQOO Z3
It doesn’t have an AMOLED screen, it has a 120Hz fast refresh rated IPS LCD screen.
So if you’re into gaming then definitely look at it! Or else, according to me, the NO.2 moto Edge 20 Fusion can be at NO.1
If 120Hz fast refresh rate is not very important to you. Moto has an AMOLED screen & this has IPS.
But still, looking at other things it has a Qualcomm SD 768G SoC for performance.
All others have Dimensity & so if you want a Snapdragon SoC, it’s good & if you compare it with Dimensity 800, the SD768G is better.
It has a 4400mAh battery with 55W fast charging so that’s very good.
You get the 6GB+128GB (base variant) priced at Rs 17,990. And you’re getting 6GB+128GB under Rs 18K.
You get the 8GB+256GB variant at Rs 20,990. Meaning it has 256GB storage & 8GB RAM.
So it’ll be future-proof & SD768G works well 90-95% of the time even on heavy apps.
So let’s talk about the cameras, there’s 64MP+8M+2MP which is an ok camera. It isn’t the best.
In terms of camera, the moto Edge 20 Fusion is better but still it isn’t a bad camera setup.
Overall, looking at the package & price, according to me, the iQOO Z3 comes at NO.1 in my list.
Now you have to talk about your rankings with reasoning in the COMMENTS!
Like I said, we spent a lot of time & efforts to rank the phones according to us
