1. Realme Narzo 30A
Realme Marzo 30A is powered by a 12nm octa-core Helio G85 Gaming Processor, making sure your hardware always has your back. It delivers exceptional gaming performance and runs smooth as a whistle.
The Realme Narzo 30A gets a decently big 6.5-inch display with a tall 20:9 aspect ratio. It has the SIM tray on the left side of the frame and has two Nano-SIM slots and a dedicated slot for storage expansion. The Narzo 30A tips the scales at 207g and is noticeably heavy since it packs in a big 6,000mAh battery.
This mobile is a good value-for-money phone. It has a nice build, a big and bright display, a decent processor, and a battery that goes on and on. The cameras are average, and the night mode could have been a little better. But this issue does not make the phone not worthy of its price.
2. Realme C3
Realme started 2020 with a budget smartphone called the Realme 5i, and hot on its tail, the company has brought a very affordable smartphone called the Realme C3. The C series is Realme's entry-level lineup and offers good hardware at affordable prices.

4. Micro max IN 1b
Micromax is returning to the Indian smartphone market with the IN Note 1 and IN 1b smartphones. On reviewing the IN Note 1, I found that it offered good specifications but was a little rough around the edges regarding the software.
The top of the smartphone is bare. The power and volume buttons are on the right, and while I found the power button to be well placed, the volume buttons were a bit too high. You get a dedicated button to summon the Google Assistant and a SIM tray on the other side. Micromax has a USB Type-C port on the Micromax IN 1b, which is at the bottom, along with the 3.5mm audio jack and the primary microphone.
The phone comes with a 6.52-inch touchscreen display with 720x1600 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9. Micromax In 1b is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 processor.

It was launched in Arctic Blue, Lime Green, and Matte Black colors.
Poco C3 is a pretty large smartphone, which could be good for people wanting to play games or watch movies on it. But for a person, who is just trying to get through the day, it is not a comfortable phone to carry around. It sports a 6.53-inch display, which makes it very hard to use single-handedly.
This smartphone packs a MediaTek Helio G35 Octa-core processor and up to 3 GB of RAM, so you can use it to do many different tasks, from gaming to making business presentations, with the utmost ease.

9. Realme C25
After launching the C12 and C15 with identical processors and similar features last year, Realme has decided to broaden the differences between the successors to these two models in 2021. The C25 (successor to the C15) gets a significant processor upgrade in the form of the MediaTek Helio G70 (instead of the older Helio G35) but, at the same time, drops the camera count from four to three.
You get a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD panel on the front, which is in line with what you can expect from the device. The viewing angles are decent, while the colors are mostly good. The C25 has a nice display which gives the expected viewing experience, although I’m slightly disappointed that the resolution isn’t FHD.
The 13MP primary sensor is supported by a 2MP macro shooter and a 2MP mono sensor. The ultra-wide sensor from the Realme C15 has been dropped, but in all fairness, seeing the quality of the sensor, it isn’t a big loss. The Realme C25 doesn’t take exceptional shots, but there will be few that would be better at daylight photography in the budget segment.
10. Tecno Spark 7T
Tecno Spark 7T is an affordable smartphone under the Tecno Spark 7-series. It is powered by an Helio G35 SoC paired with 4GB RAM + 64GB internal storage. The highlighted specs of the phone are a big 6,000mAh battery, a 6.5-inch HD+ display, a rear fingerprint sensor, and a micro USB charging port.
Tecno Spark 7T runs Android 11. Tecno Spark 7T comes with a 48MP dual camera with a Quad-LED flash on the rear side. And, it has an 8MP selfie camera with dual-LED flash. Judging upon the given camera options, you can capture fine shots. As for recording, FHD 1080p videos can be recorded at 30fps. So, this is the best value for money smartphone.
