Take a look at some of them.
Xiaomi Redmi 5A (Rs 6,999)
When it comes to affordable smartphones, Xiaomi has some of the best offerings in this segment. The company known for selling entry-level and mid-range smartphones at competitive prices, brought the Redmi 5A for a price of Rs 6,999 (3GB RAM model) last year. The specifications look average on paper, but its fairly compact form factor, decent build quality and display makes Redmi 5A an ideal option. The phone features a 5-inch HD (1280 x 720 pixel resolution) display, Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor paired with Adreno 308 GPU.
The phone comes with a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera sensor and has a battery capacity of 3000mAh. A good aspect about the Redmi 5A is that you get a dedicated microSD slot, which means you won’t have to choose between a second SIM card and microSD card. The 3GB RAM model accommodates 32GB inbuilt storage which is expandable up to 128GB via microSD card.
10.or E (Rs 6,999)
The 10.or E can be considered the best smartphone overall under Rs 7000. The phone features a 5.5-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 pixel resolution) screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top. It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor paired with Adreno 505 GPU, which means throwing a few casual games and browsing the internet in between won’t freeze the device. The 10.or E has solid build quality even though it features a polycarbonate body. In addition, the phone packs a mammoth size 4000mAh battery.
For selfie enthusiast, it offers front-facing selfie flash for capturing good images in low light. Another advantage of purchasing the 10.or E is its near stock Android UI.

The phone has dual 13MP+5MP camera sensors at the back that offers good images with decent colour reproduction and detail but only in well-lit conditions. Up front, it has an 8MP camera with a feature called ‘Dualfie’ which is quite similar to Nokia8’s Bothie mode. The InFocus Vision 3 carries a 4000mAh battery too that delivers more than a day’s worth of usage.
Meizu M5 (Rs 6,499)
