Best 5G smartphones under 20000
Best 5G smartphones under 20000 The Diwali holidays have ended and so have the Diwali sales and the offers that come with it. That being said, the smartphone brands have bumped the prices of their products back to the previous ones.
The most competitive segment is the budget segment which ranges anywhere from INR 10,000 all the way up to INR 20,000.
In this article, we will be suggesting some budget smartphones that actually have good specifications and performance. But first, we will be dividing the budget category into two sub categories.
- Sub 15K smartphones
- Sub 20K smartphones
