From Redmi 7A to Samsung M30, here are the top budget smartphones of 2019

New Delhi: This has been a breakthrough year for budget smartphones with some of them packing in flagship features, while maintaining the “affordable” price tag. The segment under ₹10,000 grew even more competitive with a shorter refresh cycle.

While Xiaomi did well in the segment with Redmi 7A, 7, 8 and 8A, Samsung upped the ante with M30, M30s, M20, and M10.

Realme, which took the Indian budget smartphone market by a storm this year, recently said they they have shipped over eight million mobiles in less than one year and sold one million Realme C2 mobiles.

“In the coming year 2020, there will be a further strong intent on the part of the smartphone players to disrupt the budget segment. We expect the ₹5,000- ₹10,000 category will deliver a maximum contribution to smartphone sales in 2020 as well.
