If you have a budget of around Rs. 20,000, then you can find good smartphones on offer. It was just last year that the in-display fingerprint sensor became all the rage in flagship phones, and today, you can actually get that in a phone under Rs. 20,000.
Which is better value of money smartphone under Rs. 20000 ? April 2021.
Not only that, but due to stiff competition and recent price cuts, you can actually get a phone with a flagship-level Qualcomm SoC from 2018 in this price range too and also newly launch Qualcomm SoC 860.
In this list I will make sure that every phone has good price to performance ratio.
1. Poco X3 Pro
The Poco X3 Pro is official in India and based on the launch prices, it seems to be a logical successor to the 2018 Poco F1. Prices start at Rs 18,999 for the base variant that offers 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. There's another variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that comes in at a price of Rs 20,999. The Poco X3 Pro will go on sale on April 6 at 12 noon via Flipkart.
The biggest highlight on the Poco X3 Pro is the Snapdragon 860 chip. This is technically similar to the Snapdragon 855 Plus chip and hence, promises flagship levels of performance. Poco says that the X3 Pro managed to grab a score of 4,90,000 on AnTuTu benchmark, thereby putting it above its similarly priced rivals in terms of performance. Poco is using its LiquidCool Plus cooling solution, which is basically copper heat pipe-based cooling system fused with multiple layers of graphite. This is also accompanied by LPDDR4X RAM and faster UFS 3.1 storage. For gamers, Poco has included a Z-axis haptic feedback system into the X3 Pro. There's MIUI 12 onboard with the Poco Launcher on top.
Rest of the specifications are similar, more or less. Compared to the regular Poco X3, the X3 Pro comes with a smaller 5160mAh battery instead of a 6000mAh battery. The Pro also gets a 48-megapixel main rear camera instead of the 64-megapixel camera on the Poco X3. The display also gets an upgraded Gorilla Glass 6 protection instead of the Gorilla Glass 5 from the vanilla version.
Display details - 6.67-inches (size) and using an IPS LCD technology with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The stereo speaker setup remains and so does the IP53 water and dust resistance certification. The phone is available in three colour variants: Golden Bronze, Graphite Black, and Steel Blue.
2. Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G
The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G is currently the least expensive 5G phone in India with a starting price of Rs. 16,999. The all-plastic body has held up well so far, ergonomics are good, and it doesn't feel very heavy even though it weighs about 194g. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor works very well. All that's needed is a quick tap to unlock the phone. The display is a 6.5-inches IPS LCD, 120Hz , 480 nits (typ), 600 nits (peak).
The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC, which has a built-in 5G modem, and is quite powerful and power efficient. Software on the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G is a bit of a letdown since it's still Android 10 and not 11, which is what many others are offering. Performance of the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G has been pretty solid as the SoC handles multitasking or demanding tasks such as gaming, pretty easily. Battery life is equaly good (Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable)
Charging Fast charging 30W, 50% in 25 min, 100% in 65 min (advertised) Dart Charge
The cameras on the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G are your run-of-the-mill setup. There's a primary 48-megapixel camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The cameras perform decently but low-light performance is weak.
The bottom line is, if you're considering the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G, I'd recommend sticking to the base variant.
3. Redmi note 10 Pro Max

The reason off I porting this phone at third position because of the availability of this product is not good this is smart phone available only in Black Market with the price tag of Rs. 22,000 to Rs. 23,000.
4. Realme X7 5G
Realme X7 5G comes in at an attractive price and boasts of the brand new MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor, plus 5G (dual-SIM, dual-standby) and an eye-catching design. The pattern on the back and giant brand slogan might not be to everyone's taste, but that's only on the 'Nebula" version, and there's also a sober 'Space Silver' option. The Realme X7 has a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It's relatively light and compact but still has a 4,310mAh battery and delivered excellent runtime during our review. You can use the bundled proprietary 65W fast charger, but this phone actually charges at up to 50W. The screen is pleasant enough and the speaker is quite good. Games and videos were both enjoyable. The cameras however are somewhat disappointing, with capturing just average detail in many situations. The Realme X7 5G is a strong contender in its price segment.
