How to choose a phone under ₹15,000
- AMOLED displays (Poco M7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy F16 5G) are now available under ₹15,000. If display quality and battery efficiency matter to you, prefer these over LCD.
- Check the RAM carefully. Many phones sell under the same name in 4GB, 6GB and 8GB variants at different prices (for example Poco M7 and Realme P3x). If it fits your budget, take a 6GB or higher variant.
- Look for at least 45W fast charging (Poco M7 Pro, Realme P3x, Infinix Note 50X). Many budget phones still come with slow 18 to 25W charging despite big batteries.
- If it matters to you, confirm dual-SIM 5G support, not just single-SIM 5G: some budget 5G phones support 5G on only one SIM slot.
