Top 10: the best smartphones in 2021 under Rs. 50,000
If the concept of flagship has long been reserved for devices sold between Rs.45000 and Rs.89000 , smartphones at a much more affordable price are now competing with them. Not long ago, you often had to make a choice between design, photo quality, endurance or performance. Fortunately, players like Xiaomi, Realme or Honor have entered the dance, marketing what are called flagship killers, smartphones that shine in all areas without being ruinous to buy.
Faced with Chinese firms, the historic manufacturers are still there, but are finding it increasingly difficult to resist. Of the ten smartphones in our selection, seven are Chinese brand. Xiaomi, with four models in this top, is the most represented manufacturer.
Finally, know that Apple's iPhone SE (2020) would have had its place in this ranking if its autonomy had not weighed down its overall rating. At Rs.43500, this smartphone remains a very interesting option. We recommend it to you.
