BEST MOBILE PHONES UNDER 10000 IN INDIA

Moto G35 5G is a budget smartphone from Motorola that is priced under the Rs. 10,000 mark. It sports a 6.72-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD screen that refreshes at 120Hz and gets bright enough when used in most conditions, but might be a little dim when there's a lot of sunlight. The company has equipped this smartphone with a 6nm Unisoc T760 chipset, which was unveiled in July 2024. This processor is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 onboard storage.

The smartphone runs on Android 14 and it comes with Motorola's My UX interface, and the company says it will only get one OS update to Android 15. The Moto G35 5G has a dual rear camera setup with a reliable 50-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and the former is the most reliable shooter on the handset. It also has a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

You get a 5,000mAh battery on the Moto G35 5G, which can be charged at 18W, and the phone ships with a charger in the box. It also has an IP52 rating for dust and splash resistance. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that allows you to unlock the phone quickly using biometric authentication.

Xiaomi’s Redmi A4 5G has an attractive design that uses a polycarbonate mid-frame sandwiched between two sheets of glass. Its design is also IP52-rated for dust and water resistance.

The phone has a large display but lacks adequate brightness when viewed outdoors. Viewing angles are also a problem both indoors and outdoors, but the device surprisingly offers Widevine L1 support for full-HD video streaming quality.

Performance is not its strong point. The phone can run apps smoothly but cannot handle heavy 3D games. Camera performance is decent for its price tag when used in daylight but does perform well in low light.

Software works smoothly until you multitask or switch between apps. Its also loaded with tonnes of third-party apps and games. Battery life is average for this price point, and the same can be said about wired charging speeds.
