Best phones under 8,000

Phones under Rs. 8,000	Gadgets 360 rating (out of 10)	Price in India (as recommended)
Realme C3	8	Rs. 7,499
Realme 3	8	Rs. 8,499
Redmi 8A/ 8A Dual	7	Rs. 6,999

Realme C3

The Realme C3 is the most recent smartphone on this list, and it impressed us when we reviewed it. Realme has opted for the MediaTek Helio G70 SoC to power the Realme C3, and this is a surprisingly strong choice for a budget smartphone. As a result, you get strong performance out of this device. That's not all, the battery is rated at 5,000mAh which helps this smartphone deliver very good battery life as well.

We liked the display on the Realme C3 and found the camera to be on par with some of the other smartphones in this price range. However, this device lacks a fingerprint scanner, which could be a deal-breaker for many people. If you can look past this omission, the Realme C3 is the smartphone to get on a budget.

The base variant of the Realme C3 features 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It was priced at Rs. 6,999 when launched, but the recent GST hike has led to an increase and so it now starts at Rs. 7,499 which is still very good value.
