These are the best phones available in the market right now, including Android and Windows Phone handsets and should give you great value for money.
All these phones are 4G compatible, so you can consider this list including the best 4G phones. These phones offer features like 4GB RAM, excellent camera and processor, long battery life and latest OS version. So let’s start with the first one on our list:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4
Xiaomi had quite a hit on its hands last year with the Redmi Note 3. It was a phone that got almost everything right, that too at quite a bargain. To be on top of our list this year was quite a challenge. The Chinese company didn’t experiment much on the winning formula with the incrementally-updated Redmi Note 4.
Switching between apps or launching apps won’t take forever with the Redmi Note 4, thanks to the octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor but that is a lower benchmark score to Snapdragon 650 on Redmi Note 3.
There is no heating issue and the battery life is amazing but lacks fast charging support, the device takes more than 2 hours and 30 minutes to charge completely. The camera performed decently with many modes available, also equipped with slow motion video recorder. The metallic finish is as good as its predecessors. The IR blaster is the big plus. You can control your appliances using the phone and the accompanying Mi Remote app.
But with the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant costing Rs. 12,999, the Redmi Note 4 earns our pick as one of the best phones for under Rs. 15,000 – as long as you can manage to buy one.
