With smartphone offerings growing by the minute, settling for the right device can be a tiring exercise. Mr. Karan Bajaj narrows down the choices for you.

Rs. 5,000 to Rs.10,000

Micromax Unite 2: 

Rs. 6,449

This entry-level smartphone from Micromax features a 4.7-inch display and runs the latest Android 4.4 KitKat operating system (OS).

The interface is butter smooth with minimal customisation. It has a quad core processor, 1 GB RAM, 4 GB storage (expandable to 32 GB), and a 2,000 mAh battery that lasts for over a day.

The dual SIM smartphone also has a great 5 MP rear camera.

 

Motorola Moto E

Motorola Moto E:

Rs. 6,999

This is the phone that started the affordable smartphone revolution-great hardware, latest software, budget - friendly.

Even with new competition, it wins due to the topnotch performance with its 1.2 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor and 1 GB RAM. It also has a good battery life that lasts a day-and-ahalf.

The only issue is its 5 MP fixed focus camera, which does not deliver the best photos at all times.

Asus Zenfone 5:

Rs. 9,990

This is our favourite phone in this price range. The Zenfone 5 scores on looks, performance and features.

You get a gorgeous 5-inch display, Intel 1.6 GHz dual core processor, 2 GB RAM and a 2,100 mAh battery, which delivers up to one-and-a-half day of backup.

Moreover, it has the best camera--8 MP, auto focus--in this price range. Also, the custom user interface offers a number of useful tweaks and features.

Lumia 630:

Rs. 9,999

If you are looking for an alternative to Android smartphones, the Lumia 630 is the best choice in this price range. It runs the latest Windows Phone 8.1 operating system on a 1.2 GHz quad core processor, 512 MB RAM and 8 GB internal storage (expandable to 128 GB).

However, keep in mind that the 5 MP primary camera takes average quality images. The battery life is close to a day-and-a-half on mix usage.
