Looking for a reliable phone on a tight budget? These are the phones we recommend under Rs 30,000 right now, based on battery life, screen quality and everyday speed.
What to look for
At this price, focus on a big battery, at least 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. A 90Hz screen makes scrolling feel smoother.
Our picks
The Infinix Smart 9 is the best value, while the Xiaomi Redmi 14C gives you a bigger 120Hz screen for a little more.
