if you're contemplating a smartphone purchase under Rs. 30,000 in India, here's our list of the top options you can go for.
The Nothing Phone 3a Pro price in India starts at Rs. 29,999
Sitting just above the mid-range segment in India is the market of smartphones priced under Rs. 30,000. While those below try to elevate the lower mid-range market of devices with attractive designs, smart features and artificial intelligence (AI) offerings, those above this price bracket are often dubbed as “flagship killer” devices. Thus, the smartphones under Rs. 30,000 fall into the upper mid-range category and generally serve as entry points into the premium segment. They are an excellent value proposition, offering a good price to performance ratio.
So, if you are contemplating a new smartphone purchase today then there are plenty of choices to consider from brands such as Motorola, Nothing, Realme, and Samsung. While the smartphones in our sub-Rs. 25,000 list are still great options to go for, it might be prudent to check our list of the top smartphones under Rs. 30,000 in India if you're investing in a near-premium handset for the long term.
