What to Prioritise Under ₹15,000
Display & refresh rate
Look for a Full HD+ screen and, ideally, a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling.
Battery
A 5000mAh battery is the practical standard at this price — enough for a full day. Faster charging (18W+) is a bonus.
RAM & storage
Aim for at least 6GB RAM and 128GB storage so the phone stays smooth for years and holds your photos and apps.
Camera & 5G
A capable 50MP main camera is common now. If you want the phone to last, a 5G model is worth prioritising — see our 5G phone guide.
