The smartphone race to the bottom has been only good for consumers, who a few years ago did not have many choices of good entry-level phones as they do today. Now, you can get a very functional smartphone for less than Rs 7,000, with a fairly pixel dense display, ample RAM and processing power for smooth multitasking and adequate storage. Some even come with features like a fingerprint scanner (like the Coolpad Note 3 Lite) or a huge battery (like the Xolo Era 4K). Take a look at some of the bang-for-the-buck options if you’re not willing to spend a lot on a smartphone.
