Once the price segment where flagship smartphones lived, the sub-Rs. 30,000 category is where the self-proclaimed 'flagship killers' now operate. Aiming to offer practically everything that a high-end flagship smartphone can offer, these mobiles are for those looking to flaunt the latest technologies and specifications with minimum compromises.
Let's meet this bunch.
Honor 8 Pro
The newest member of this pack, the Honor 8 Pro combines stunning design with top of the line specifications. Despite being just 6.97mm, the phone packs a 4000mAh battery that'll easily last you a day's worth of usage.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the Honor 8 is its camera performance, which can rival that of more expensive flagships. With a generous 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a stunning Quad HD, the Honor 8 Pro is perhaps the most phone you can get at this price.
