BEST MOBILE PHONES UNDER 10000 IN INDIA

As an entry-level smartphone, the Infinix Smart 8 HD offers a decent main camera, long battery life, 4G support and a surprisingly smooth 90Hz display for everyday use. These features make it suitable for browsing, social media, and casual gaming.

The smartphone's design language is similar to that of its predecessor, with a few minor changes that do not stand out as much.

However, corners are cut elsewhere. The phone charges slowly, which can be a pain for heavy users. While the camera works well in daylight, low-light photos suffer. The display isn't bright enough to be used outdoors but it does work fine indoors.

Despite these limitations, the Infinix Smart 8 HD remains a good option for basic tasks. If you're a casual user who prioritizes affordability, this phone can handle calls, texts, light gaming, and watching videos at home. Just be aware of its pros and cons before buying.

The C55 is Realme’s first C-series smartphone to be priced in the budget segment rather than the entry-level segment. It has a refreshing design with a matte polycarbonate rear panel and frame, both of which are good at resisting fingerprints.

Realme has gone with the MediaTek Helio G88 SoC which limits this phone’s connectivity options to 4G bands. It's powerful enough for some budget-level gaming, but is better suited to casual games.

The software experience is a bit messy, as the phone comes loaded with several Realme-branded apps and many third-party ones. There are also spammy notifications that appear daily from certain native apps. Software performance is quite lacking as there’s frequent stuttering and lag.

Camera performance in daylight is quite good. Low-light performance is decent when using the Night mode but this has drawbacks too. Battery life isn’t the best in class, but charging is quite quick.
