Realme X2

There’s more to this well-priced Samsung midranger starting with an excellent 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display. You get triple cameras at the back with a combination of 48MP primary, 8MP ultrawide and 5MP depth sensor. The cameras do a very good job in most modes and lighting conditions and are among the best Samsung have to offer on their phones priced under 20K. There’s a 16MP selfie camera too. The Galaxy M30s runs Android Pie with Samsung’s One UI.

Poco F1

We are still figuring out how to keep this phone out of our lists. Till then, enjoy while it lasts. You can now get the top-end variant of the Poco F1 (Review) with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage for just Rs 16,999. You can add another 256 GB to it using a microSD card, in case you need more storage. The design isn’t the most eye-catching but it is still a beast when it comes to performance thanks to a Snapdragon 845 SoC.

The Poco F1 has a 6.18-inch full HD+ notched display and a 12MP + 5MP dual camera combination at the back that does a good job in average to good lighting. The image quality is pretty good but nothing fancy. There’s also a solid 20MP front camera for selfies. As we keep saying, this is mainly a phone for gamers on a budget than camera enthusiasts. If you are looking to play PUBG in its full glory on a tight budget, Poco F1 is still an excellent option along with the Redmi Note 8 Pro. The Poco launcher on top of Android Pie remains a better alternative to MIUI though.
