BEST 5G MOBILE PHONES UNDER 20000 IN INDIA 384o3x

The Realme P3 Pro seems like an intriguing low-priced mid-ranger aimed mainly at the youth. Its design offers a selection of bright, loud colourways with interesting textures and finishes. Its rounded design is also IP68 and IP69-rated for dust and water resistance.

The phone offers a quad-curved display with thin borders. The curved edges do add some distracting reflections but make for an immersive viewing experience. Still, the display somehow does not feel bright outdoors.

Performance is not a problem with daily use, and casual s will see no slowdowns or hiccups of any sort. However, the phone comes loaded with plenty of bloatware and double apps.

Its camera performs well in daylight but not so much in low light. Video recording is a bit below average overall. Battery life is good, but we did expect better given the battery’s higher than usual capacity. 

The Moto G85 5G is a mid-range smartphone that is desiged to combines a modern design with reliable performance. It boasts a large curved display with a high refresh rate for smooth visuals and vibrant colours that enable s to watch content on a range of applications.

The HMD Fusion is a fun budget smartphone with reasonably priced accessories that somehow elevate its otherwise lacklustre software experience. Looks are subjective, but we are fans of its practical and industrial translucent design, which also makes it very easy to access its interior.

HMD offers three Outfits, two of which are smart. The Smart Outfits like the Gaming and Flashy Outfits are quite practical and useful.

This phone isn’t built to perform but for those who love to explore, tinker and repair their own devices. Given this approach, there’s not much room for performance, and whenever it does, the phone does heat up.

Software is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s near-stock, but loaded with preinstalled apps and not optimised to take advantage of the hardware. Camera performance is a bit below average, and the same goes for battery performance. But wired charging speeds were up to expectations.

Samsung's Galaxy M55 is a mid-range smartphone that offers a simple design and some firsts for an M-series phone. It gets an in-display fingerprint scanner, a 50-megapixel front facing camera, and is equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC instead of an Exynos chip. The Snapdragon chip allows the phone to deliver good performance. The smartphone comes with a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor that can take good photos in daylight conditions. The lowlight photos are also good in Night mode. The ultra-wide camera performs good in daylight, but itsn't great in lowlight conditions. Samsung has packed a 5,000mAh battery on the Galaxy M55 5G, which easily lasts a day. There's also 45W fast charging , but there's no charger in the box. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M55 5G is a decent mid-range smartphone. 

The Honor X9b from HTech has a rear and frame made from polycarbonate. The phone offers a unique Ultra-Bounce technology which protects its display from 1.5 metre drops. The device is also IP53-rated for dust and water resistance.

Performance is good for daily use but is mostly mid-range when it comes to gaming. Magic OS offers some interesting software features but comes with the regular Huawei bloatware.

Camera performance is not good. Neither of its three rear-facing cameras performs up to expectations in daylight and the things only get worse in low light conditions.

Battery life with the large battery is rock solid and makes this otherwise slim device a proper road warrior. However, charging is quite slow when compared to most devices at this price point. Moreover, Honor does not offer a charger in the box.
