Looking for a budget-friendly 5G smartphone that doesn’t compromise on features? You’re in luck! There are several excellent options in India this March with good performance, decent cameras, and great battery life under Rs 15,000. From casual gaming, to being addicted to social media browsing, to just wanting a selfie camera that works well, there’s something for everyone. Here are the best 5G phones you can buy under Rs 15,000 in India this month. The series includes the POCO M7 PRO 5G and three others.

1. POCO M7 PRO 5G

The POCO M7 PRO 5G is performance without frills. It features a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering silky smooth graphics and vibrant colours. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra and up to 8GB of RAM, it handles multitasking and casual gaming effortlessly. The 50-megapixel main camera takes decent photos, and the 20-megapixel front camera is a decent enough option for selfies and video calls. The phone lasts a full day on a 5,110mAh battery, and since it supports 45W fast charging, you’ll be up and running in no time. With HyperOS based on Android 14 onboard, the software is lightweight and tweakable. An Android 15 update would have been an additional welcome feature.

2. CMF Phone 1

Nothing’s CMF Phone 1 is one of the greatest budget phones out there, with its drive for personalisation. The game-changer in this instance is the interchangeable back cover, allowing consumers to switch up the look of the phone when it takes their fancy. There’s the Mediatek Dymenties 7300, which gives users smoothness for daily use, surfing, and games. The Super AMOLED 6.67-inch screen excels in colour accuracy and brightness, so watching movies or videos is a pleasant experience. The 50-megapixel main camera is good in daylight, but other devices in this segment give it a tough competition. The 5,000mAh battery offers good endurance, and OS 3.0 (based on Android 15, which will be outdated soon) offers a smooth and bloat-free experience.

3. Redmi 13 5G

An improvement over the Redmi 12 5G, the Redmi 13 5G makes a big leap forward. Its 120Hz LCD display makes scrolling and gaming much better. The biggest upgrade is its 108-megapixel primary camera, which captures bright and sharp photos during the day. The 5,000mAh battery remains unchanged, but the charging speed has been bumped up to 33W, and Xiaomi has included the charger in the box. Built on top of HyperOS on Android 14, the UI is faster and smoother than its previous versions, even the first MIUI release. With a great mix of performance, screen, and camera specs, the Redmi 13 is an excellent option in the budget 5G segment.

4. Motorola G64 5G

For those who want a pure stock Android experience without any unnecessary bloatware, the Motorola G64 5G is an excellent option. It is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 with seamless performance for everyday use and light gaming. Battery life is also its strong suit, with the massive 6,000mAh battery easily giving more than a day on a single charge. The OIS 50-megapixel primary camera is capable of shooting clear and stable photos, especially in daylight. With stock Android 14, the experience feels fluid and minimalistic. Even the entry level is in the Rs 15,000 range, though the top variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage just crosses that, but something we look for that needs more space and memory capacity.
