Realme C11, Samsung Galaxy M01 Core, and other best smartphones under Rs 10,000 for August 2020

It is that time of the month when we tell you the best smartphones under various price categories that you can buy right away. Here are the best ones under Rs 10,000.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The best smartphones that you can buy under Rs 10,000 are here.
• Realme C11 is the one with the latest MediaTek Helio G35 processor.
• Samsung's Android Go smartphone M01 Core is also a part of the list.

This month has been one of the busiest this year so far. We saw several companies coming out with their important smartphones. Google finally came up with its Pixel 4a after months of delay and then there is Samsung that took a leap forward with the Galaxy Note 20 series. The premium range has been inundated again but so is the entry-level segment, the one that attracts a huge chunk of buyers. The sub-Rs 10,000 price segment is one of the most crowded that has seen a slew of smartphones.

If you have been waiting to get yourself a new smartphone under Rs 10,000, we have compiled a list of best smartphones that were launched recently. These include the likes of Realme, Samsung, and Infinix. Here is the list:

Realme C11

Realme C11 is one of the latest smartphones that comes with a huge battery, decent cameras, and, of course, a beautiful design. In our review, we found the Realme C11 a well-crafted smartphone. It is capable of taking photographs from both cameras at the rear and the one on the front. The battery backup is also quite good but one thing that holds back the smartphone is its processor. MediaTek Helio G35 is good by only so much, so do not expect it to fare well in most tasks.

Realme C11 costs Rs 7,499 for the only storage variant that is available in India.

Samsung Galaxy M01 Core

Coming freshly out of Samsung's oven is the Galaxy M01 Core that is based on the Android 10 (Go edition). This software ensures you get all the latest features of the Android 10, such as the dark mode, smart reply, and gesture navigation. Moreover, you get a 5.3-inch HD+ display and a quad-core processor under the hood. There is up to 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, with microSD card support. There is an 8-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera on the Galaxy M01 Core.

Samsung Galaxy M01 Core is priced at Rs 5,499 for the 1GB/16GB variant and Rs 6,499 for the 2GB/32GB variant.

Infinix Smart 4 Plus

Infinix has a good range of smartphones under Rs 10,000 and the latest one to join the range is the Smart 4 Plus. The Infinix Smart 4 Plus has a massive screen and a great battery life -- something that we found in our review. It has a MediaTek Helio A25 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, Android 10, and a 6.82-inch display. The Smart 4 Plus has dual cameras - a 13-megapixel main sensor and a second depth sensor. For selfies, there is an 8-megapixel camera on the device. The smartphone has a good design but it is somewhat a little too flashy.

Infinix Smart 4 Plus is priced at Rs 7,999 for the only variant.
