There are many mobile phone users in India who have limited budget and are looking for best smartphones for under Rs. 10,000. So here are some handsets that you can buy in October 2016.

Best budget friendly smartphones in India

Redmi Note 3

Since the launch for Redmi Note 3 we have not yet seen its competitor, in terms of specifications and price.  This is the most powerful low cost smartphone till date. Initially when the handset was launched it was difficult to get one, but as of now it is easily available.

Do check the Redmi Note 3 review – this handset is available in 2GB/16GB option for Rs. 9,999 (now available) and the 3G/32GB version will go over Rs. 11,999. The 2GB version for Rs. 9,999 is more than enough.

Redmi 3S/ 3S Prime

These are the best handsets after Redmi Note 3, you can check the review of Redmi 3S prime. Now the 3S prime comes with finger print sensor and price is very close to Note 3 i.e. 3S prime is for Rs. 8,999 and the Redmi Note 3 is for Rs. 9,999 a Rs. 1,000 difference. It makes sense to go for Note 3 based on your requirements.

The Redmi 3S without the finger print sensor is a very good buy for Rs. 6,999. The problem with Redmi 3S / 3S prime is that these are not easily available, but after few weeks you should be able to get it easily.
