The Redmi Note 9 Pro and Realme 6 are powerful devices in this price range
HIGHLIGHTS
Realme 6 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner
Redmi Note 9 Pro has a powerful Snapdragon 720G SoC
Galaxy M30s has a big 6,000mAh battery
Realme 6
The Realme 6 is not exactly the successor to the Realme 5 since the company has positioned it in a higher price range. We found the Realme 6 to be well designed but the side-mounted fingerprint scanner might not appeal to everyone. The device is slightly on the heavier side, tipping the scales at 191g. It stands out with a 90Hz display.
The Realme 6 is powered by the Mediatek Helio G90T which is a powerful gaming processor and is capable of delivering some serious performance. Realme offers three RAM and storage variants: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage, and 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. We found the camera quality to be good in daylight, producing good amounts of detail. The wide-angle camera offers a wider field of view but the dynamic range isn't great. Low-light camera output quality dips slightly but Night mode improves this. The base variant is priced at Rs. 13,999 and is the only one that fits within our budget since the GST price hike. You will have to spend more for the other variants.

Realme 5 Pro
The Realme 5 Pro makes it to our list yet again as its price makes it an attractive option. It offers a premium design and is comfortable to hold. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 SoC, it is capable of delivering more than enough performance for day-to-day tasks. Even if you want to play games on this device, it can handle them without breaking into a sweat.
The phone's 4035mAh battery is capable of delivering a day's worth of usage before needing to be plugged in. It also comes with a 20W charger in the box which helps fill the battery quickly. Realme offers a quad-camera setup on the Realme 5 Pro, and its 48-megapixel primary camera delivers sharp output. The wide-angle camera offers a wide field of view but at the cost of detail.
There are three variants of the Realme 5 Pro: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, 6GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, and 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. You will be able to get the two lower variants for under Rs. 15,000.

Vivo Z1 Pro
Vivo's first online exclusive smartphone, the Vivo Z1 Pro, has an eye-catching design and a gradient finish at the back. Vivo has opted for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 SoC which is capable of handling daily tasks quite well. We did not notice any stutter or lag with the smartphone when we used it. The Vivo Z1 Pro packs in a 5,000mAh battery and is a little bulky at 201g.
The Vivo Z1 Pro has a hole-punch display which is slowly becoming common in this price range. The panel is sharp and has great viewing angles. The Vivo Z1 Pro has a triple camera setup at the back which takes good photos in daylight with good detail, however shots taken with the wide-angle camera lack detail. Low-light camera performance is also good.
Vivo Z1 Pro is available in three variants: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, 6GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, and 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. The two lower variants are available in this price range.

Galaxy M30s
Samsung's Galaxy M-series started off as online exclusive, but a few models are now available offline. One such example is the Galaxy M30s. This phone packs a crisp full-HD+ AMOLED display, a big 6,000mAh battery, and an Exynos 9611 SoC. This processor is powerful and efficient.
Since the Galaxy M30s packs in a big battery, it is capable of delivering fantastic battery life, and it lasted us for two days with regular usage. It also features a triple camera setup at the back with a 48-megapixel primary camera that takes good photos in favourable conditions. Low-light camera performance is acceptable, and this phone does have a Night mode which helps improve the output.
Samsung offers the Galaxy M30s in two variants: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, and 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. Only the base variant is available in this budget.
