In the month of January we saw some new launches. I also got to do the review of most of the phones. If you have been following my best android smartphone list that I publish every month, the listing this time is going to be a little different.
The Redmi Note 3 was the best smartphone that was trending for a longer time and recently Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 4. Note 4 is not as powerful but in terms of overall performance especially battery life and less heat-up with heavy usage it performs exceptionally well.
Unfortunately the camera was disappointing. The shot looks good on the phone but when you check it on the PC it is not that great, in fact in low light the quality is just no good.
So here are the list of best smartphone that you can buy in India as on January 2017
- Coolpad Cool 1
- Honor 6X
- Redmi Note 3
- Moto G4 Plus
- Le Eco Le 2 / Redmi Note 4
- Lenovo K6 Power

Gigi ji rearrange this list as you have recently upgraded note 4 camera rating to above average
I have redmi note3. Speaker sound is too low during calls. Camera quality is just average. Just worth 12k no more. Not a premium phone.
Please help. Which is better in terms of camera, redmi note 4 or samsung galaxy j7 (2016).
Samsung J7 bro, it’s good package and also u will get a good brand value, after sale service.
Can you please publish below 10k list as well? Especially 7k to 9k range.
Lyf Water f1s should be on list, its a awesome performance in low budget.
Gogi ji!! I need mobile and my ONE & ONLY requirement is super fast charging like qc 3.0 etc. So which is best under 20000
Nokia 1100…..ha ha ha you need mobile na …not smartphone
Gogi what about Nubia z11 mini. I think you should consider as best camera phone under 15k.
I think 5 inch display phone s list may also be considerable. RN4 vs coolpad 1 fight is like a tale of rabbit and tortoise race. Processor of cp1 have more punchy speed with heat but RN4 ‘s advance 14nm manufacturing makes it cooler with descent speed. Cool processors is very good for phone s long life. But in camera deportment, no doubt cp1 wins.
Gogi bro pls remove rn3 from the list. It may not be officially available now.
Hello Gogi, you are requested to include phones costing Rs. 10000/- and below as a separate list above.
Dear Gogi, why did not you included Lenovo P2 4GB/32GB in this list? It’s a terrific phone, i am using the same & so far the experience is fantastic, also i am looking forward you to review this one. Regards
And best budget mobile is lyf water 3, actually it’s a rebranded zte blade s6 plus and comes for rs 6599. Its best looking performance smartphone within budget.
Yes it’s good buy for that price, but not recommended for gamers because of SD 615 having bad heating and battery drain issues.
Yes horrible battery drain issues for SD615 I used it in yureka and the experience was very bad except battery problem yureka was good but battery it drains within 2 hours.
Hi gogi ji, how about the display 2.5 D….? 3 of My Friends mi max displays simply damaged with in a month of buy, afraid to buy an mobile with a 2.5 D curved display its not strong as CGG or some other, please do some drop test on display.
Anyone who is technically sound will never do a drop test. It’s simple physics. Even gorilla glass will break if it takes the hit first. Also no two drops will be the same, plus the environment you are in plays an important role, so why do these stupid test.
Thanks gogi ji, just want to know about the quality and differences between multiple displays with 2.5 D curved displays…
2.5 d is how display glass is rounded towards edges; that’s it. CGG, gradontrail can be used in 2.5 d form on the phone.
Namasthe Gogi ji,
Although much irrelevant question to be asked here, may i ask you a simple question?
I bought Rn4 and satisfied with the phone, can i download something in 4g while i put phone on charging? I used to do this with my old mobile, does it affect battery performance in long-run? I generally start some download and leave the phone onto wll charges, kindly suggest whether it is safe or not.
Regards
Tej
You can do that, but don’t keep it on charger for too long after battery reaches 80 percent, stop charging because in long run battery heating up will reduce the life.
Asus zenphone2 laser 6 inch in phablet list please
Useful info gogi, I’m planning to buy a mobile in 15k range by March.
Honor 6x, Moto g4 plus, RN 4 in this order rest are junk likes off coolpad leeco r crap don’t invest in those.
Please suggest mobile with good Gps.
There is nothing like good GPS, but snapdragon chipsets are known to perform better in GPS navigation.
Thankx dost, but Im using xiomi redmi which is snapdragon, but he always loses gps here & then, please suggest mobile phones, thankx once again.
All reviewers says redmi note4 camera is way better than note3, may be your unit was faulty. Night camera is also better than note3 with better color. And due to 14nm sd625 note 4 having more battery juice and better under heat control. i.e better for long time gaming without over heating.
Ya the note 4 camera is better that that of note 3..but still it is not upto the mark…wen it is compared with the honor 6x or the cool 1which r very similarly priced…only camera is the con..
You can not compare it with honor x6 or cool 1,
Compare it with RN3.
I also have same question as maboj (may be manoj)
Yes i m manoj(maboj was mistake). Interms of camera quality for me also 6x>cool1>note4>note3, but colour is more vibrant in cool1. I m not a geek bt i m telling that by reading and seeing so many reviews of these mobiles.
