OnePlus 3T

The OnePlus 5 is upon us, but that doesn’t mean you forget the OnePlus 3T. The Snapdragon 821 is an able chipset and it runs a full stock Android UI to boot. The phone has a great camera and is dependable. At the reduced price, it’s worth a shot.

Oppo F3 Plus

It’s a selfie-centric smartphone, but with the Snapdragon 653 inside, the Oppo F3 Plus is a pretty powerful phone as well. It has 4GB of RAM and a great 6 inch FHD display. We wish it ran on Android Nougat, but it still makes for a good package. It has dual-cameras on the front and a really nice camera on the back as well. It’s worth checking out for sure.

Not a lot has changed in terms of performance and other aspects, but the newest modular smartphone from Motorola has a better camera than its predecessor. It has the dual-pixel camera from the Moto G5 Plus, and regular user experience is as smooth as it was in older Motorola devices. The Moto Z2 Play is a phone worth buying for sure.

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)

Premium is the word to describe the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017). The device is noticeably underpowered compared to the OnePlus 3T, but it has a decent camera, excellent design and is perfect for compact phone lovers. It’s a viable alternative to the OnePlus 3T and one of the best smartphones under Rs. 30,000.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro is a deceptively good smartphone. If Samsung had priced this one below Rs. 20,000, it would have been the best phone in that segment. It has a better camera than most of its competition and is arguably the best built phone in the mid-range segment. It has an excellent AMOLED screen and even better battery life. Sold? It lacks in the speed department though.

Moto G5 Plus

The Moto G5 Plus has a better camera than almost every phone on this list. It’s also cheaper than a handful of them and will get Android updates longer than them. Considering all that, and the fact that it’s smooth and fast, it earns its place on this list. The Moto G5 Plus is amongst the best Android smartphones in the market, and amongst the best smartphones for those with budgets under Rs. 30,000.

Huawei Honor 9i

The Honor 9i is the only phone in India that has dual-cameras on the back and front, and a 18:9 display. It’s priced at Rs. 17,999 and would be one for the selfie lovers too. It’s not the fastest phone out there, but it’ll handle your day to day tasks effectively. It’s a worthy competitor for the mid-ranged buyer.
