2019 has seen a lot of new smartphones across various price points. However, the competitive low-end of the market under Rs 15,000 has seen some great phones priced extremely aggressively. While this may have flooded the market with a lot of new phones, it's good for the consumer in every way. With shorter product lifecycles, we have seen generation upgrades from brands like Realme and Vivo come out within three months.

In August, we saw a couple of new additions to the segment from some familiar brands as well as two new entities. Realme introduced the Realme 5 Pro with the more powerful Snapdragon 712 chipset whereas Xiaomi introduced its Mi A3 Android One phone with major updates to the camera performance. And then we saw Motorola return to this segment with the highly impressive One Action while Lenovo went aggressive with the feature-rich K10 Note launched this week.
Hence, if you are spending less than Rs 15,000 on a smartphone, which one should you pickup? We help you.

Realme 5 Pro (from Rs 13,999)

Realme has been the most active smartphone brand in India in 2019. After the fairly successful Realme 3 Pro, we now have the Realme 5 Pro. What's new? Well, blending in with the trend, Realme now offers a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor as the primary camera. However, the quad-camera setup has three other impressive cameras as well. You get an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera along with a 2-megapixel macro camera (for extreme close up shots) and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The chipset also gets upgraded to the newer Snapdragon 712 from Snapdragon 710 on the Realme 3 Pro. With a 4035mAh battery along with 20W VOOC 3.0 fast charging, there isn't a better and powerful deal than this one
