We all love amazing smartphones at amazing prices and It can be quite hard to find such amazing smartphones which have the flagship-like specs at a much cheaper price. You find those low and mid-range smartphones which have the good price but the specs, design, and looks are not really good.

#2 -�OnePlus 3T

It has been only a few years since OnePlus made their first smartphone OnePlus 1 and then came OnePlus 2 which was not much impressive but then in 2106, OnePlus 3 was launched and It is still one of the best phones you can buy. But it didn’t end there. OnePlus was still getting some hate because of a smaller battery and less storage. So OnePlus launched an upgraded OnePlus 3T which today is one of the best smartphones you can buy. It is powerful enough to beat any flagship smartphone out there.

It is faster than almost all smartphones out there and you can do pretty much anything on it that you think you can do on other flagship smartphones. Its design is also impressive. It’s a thin smartphone and quite light weight. Gaming is very enjoyable on it. The fingerprint sensor is amazingly fast as well. It’s faster than any fingerprint sensor I’ve ever tried.

It has a bigger battery, newer processor, bigger storage variant, much better front camera and a new Gunmetal color which really suits the phone. The cost of the new OnePlus 3T is Rs. 30000 for the 64GB variant and Rs. 35000 for the 128GB variant.

Note: OnePlus 3 is a bit slippery due to its metal unibody and slim design. So get a cover or skin for it if you are buying it.

Specification

Pros

• Flagship killing performance
• Decent battery life
• AMOLED Display
• Awesome build quality
• The best phone under 30000 Rs. in India

Cons

• 128 GB variant costs Rs. 5000 more
• Non-expandable storage

#3 -�OnePlus 3

After OnePlus 3T, We have a phone which was the best budget smartphone until OnePlus 3T arrived. It’s OnePlus 3 which was launched 5 months before OnePlus 3T and I am still proud to say that I am using this smartphone myself and not just one but I have six OnePlus 3 and I am very satisfied with it.

On one phone I play games, other is for music, one is for personal life and one is for professional life. One is for testing and one is still sealed in the box. And I am really happy with its performance in every field. It has OnePlus’s Dash charging and I find it really useful when I am playing heavy games and the battery is low. It charges up the device very quickly and without heating the device.

As for the music, its speakers perform very well and I enjoy music a lot more on OnePlus 3 as compared to the previous devices I own. Call quality is better than most smartphones out there and music quality when using headphones is just ……. I don’t have words for it.

This should be enough for you to know how good this smartphone is. It costs only�Rs. 28000�and fortunately It is still sold in India, unlike other countries where users can only buy OnePlus 3T now.

Note: OnePlus 3 is a bit slippery due to its metal unibody and slim design. So get a cover or skin for it if you are buying it.

Specification

Pros

• Flagship killing performance
• Amazing design
• Amazing charging speed
• Good camera
• AMOLED Display
• The 2nd best phone under 30000 Rs. in India

#4 -�Samsung A9 Pro (2016)

Now we have a Samsung smartphone and whether it’s a cheap, mid-range or high-end smartphone, people love Samsung smartphones. Samsung has launched its first phone in India around 13 years ago and now It has become one of the most popular brands in the World.

On #3 we have Samsung A9 Pro (2016). This is an amazing smartphone and I really like it in terms of design and looks. It has a�Gorilla Glass 4 display and back panel which is both good and bad. On one hand, the display is quite tough and On another hand, the back panel is not so tough as compared to most of the other devices in the market.

It has a big 6″ Super AMOLED display which makes it perfect for movies and games. If you are using a normal smartphone and then switch to Samsung A9 Pro, you’ll see a big difference in terms of display quality.

It costs around Rs. 30000. The price keeps changing. Sometimes a bit less and sometimes a bit more. At this price, a smartphone like this is a bit costly for sure but you are getting a Samsung smartphone and Samsung is Samsung. For the same performance, you can get Xiaomi Redmi Note devices but you’ll not get the build quality and service that Samsung offers. Let’s look at its specs.

Specification

Pros

• Good performance
• FM Radio
• Premium design
• Super AMOLED display
• Amazing camera
• Huge battery

Cons

• Touchwiz UI
• Takes a lot of time to charge completely

#5 -�Xiaomi Mi5

Xiaomi is one of the most popular brands in China. Xiaomi released its first smartphone in India around 3 years ago and it got a head start because of their flash sales. They were everywhere since their first Flash Sale of Mi3.

At #4 we have Xiaomi Mi5 which initially was not much popular in India because Xiaomi decided not to release all Mi5 variants. We currently have Xiaomi Mi5’s 32 GB variant and it’s pretty good.

Just like Samsung A9 Pro, Xiaomi Mi5 has�Gorilla Glass 4 back panel and that looks really good. The overall design and looks of the phone are just simply amazing. I decided to buy it just by looking it for once. It has a�5.15″ ultra-bright display that makes the whole experience amazing.

It runs on Xiaomi’s custom MIUI which is really fast and after using it for 2 days I pretty much started hating pure android for which I was really surprised myself. The whole experience was similar to that of iPhones and maybe that’s why Xiaomi is called Apple of China.

The cost of Xiaomi Mi5 32GB is currently Rs. 22999 and I personally recommend you to buy it if you are interested in it. It’s a pretty light device and as far as durability is concerned, It may have failed in most of the tests you have seen online, the real durability of this device is quite good. Let’s check its specs.

Specification

• Amazing performance
• Premium looks and design

It is considered one of the most premium manufacturer�in the market as of now. No matter how bad it works or how small it is, It’s Apple!�and that’s all that matters. But not so much for people who are more interested in performance than Brand.

For people like them who want an Apple iPhone, under Rs. 30000 and a compact but powerful device, We have Apple iPhone 6 holding #5 position. Apple iPhone 6 is not the latest and best iPhone but its iPhone and when you buy it, you don’t just get this phone but also get an object that can make people jealous of you.

Apple iPhone 6 is quite powerful actually and because of its optimized software, it doesn’t require a lot of ram or other resources. It uses a real fast processor and the internal memory speed is also very fast. That is the reason that applications open very quickly on iPhone as compared to android.

It has only a 4.7″ screen which fits perfectly in hands and is quite good when gaming. You are able to access every part of the screen�easily. You can get Apple iPhone 6 for around Rs. 30000 easily.

#9 in this list is acquired by Moto X-Force which is a really tough phone. And by tough, I mean every part of it. Motorola says that Moto X Force has a shatterproof display and by testing it personally I can say that the screen can have a deep dent but will not shatter in any circumstances.

Moto X force is not just a tough device. It also performs really well. Moto X Force has a 5.4″ 2K AMOLED shatterproof display which is just amazing�for gaming and watching movies.
