Manufacturers have flooded the sub-Rs. 15,000 price segment with a range of good smartphones to be the best in this segment.
Good camera technology has also trickled down to the sub Rs. 15,000 segments over the years, giving people the option to capture good photos without paying a bomb for flagship devices.

2. Redmi Note 10
Price: 14999
The Redmi Note 10, Note 10 Pro, and Note 10 Pro Max, the Redmi Note 10S is the newest handset in the company's Note 10 series. Except for the cameras and the chipset, the Redmi Note 10S is very similar to the Note 10. The Note 10S features a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a high pixel density of 409ppi. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protects the bezel-less display with a punch-hole cutout. The phone is equipped with an octa-core MediaTek Helio P95 processor. The device is equipped with a Mali-G76 MC4 GPU for graphics. The phone has 6GB of RAM to allow for smooth multitasking.

A 5000mAh Li-Polymer battery powers the phone, which can be charged thanks to fast-charging technology quickly. The smartphone was released with the MIUI12 operating system, which is based on Android 11.
3.Realme Marzo 30
Price: ₹12499
The Realme Narzo 30 is a good budget smartphone, especially considering the hardware it includes and its low price. Despite being made of plastic, the design and finish are significantly improved over its predecessor, the Marzo 20, and this phone looks appealing. The 90Hz display is a nice touch that adds fluidity to the software experience. The Marzo 30 is capable of mid-level gaming, with most graphics-intensive mobile games running smoothly. When you're stressed, however, the phone gets quite hot. For its class, the camera's performance is quite average. In daylight, the Narzo 30 takes good photos, but it only manages noisy and murky images in low light. When shooting in 4K, video quality is average at best. With its 5,000mAh battery, the Narzo 30 has a good battery life, lasting 1.5 days on a single charge. Using the included 30W charger, you can go from a dead battery to a fully charged battery in 1 hour and 10 minutes.
4.Redmi Note 10
Price: 12999
In terms of features and specifications for the sub-Rs. 12,000 segment, the Redmi Note 10 isn't groundbreaking, but it does cover all the bases and add a few nice extra touches. It's slimmer and lighter than the Redmi Note 9, and it's the first phone to feature Xiaomi's new 'Evol' design language, which makes it look quite smart. The 6.43-inch full-HD+ AMOLED screen is a standout feature, with crisp details and vibrant colors. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 SoC is included, capable of casual gaming and everyday tasks. The battery life is sufficient for at least a full day of use, and charging is quick. The cameras are fairly standard, with the 48-megapixel primary camera producing good daytime images and acceptable nighttime images. The ultra-wide and selfie cameras are both functional, but the macro camera is only for fun. MIUI is still littered with promotional content and advertisements, but the company promises to be removed in a future update.
5.Motorola G30
Price: ₹10999
In India, the Motorola G30 was released alongside the Moto G10 Power and is aimed at the budget market. The Motorola Moto G30 features a new design that includes a 6.5-inch display with a dewdrop notch on top. The Moto G30's frame is made of plastic, and all of the buttons are located on the right side. The volume buttons are higher, and the Google Assistant button is right on top, making it a little difficult to reach. Motorola's phone is water-resistant to IP52, and the SIM tray has a rubber seal.
Motorola has chosen Qualcomm's Snapdragon 662 SoC, which comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The hybrid SIM slot can be used to expand storage. The Moto G30 has a 90Hz refresh rate HD+ display. It has a 5,000mAh battery and comes with a 20W charger. The Motorola G30 comes pre-installed with Android 11 and a few tweaks. There are no bloatware apps preinstalled on the software. The phone's battery life is also excellent, and it can easily last more than a day and a half.
The Moto G30 has a quad-camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, according to Motorola. The primary camera's daylight photos had a lot of detail. The ultra-wide-angle camera provided a larger field of view but sacrificed detail. The Macro camera allows you to get close to the subject, but the resolution is limited. The lowlight camera performed admirably in regular mode, though there was some loss of detail in the shadows. The image was unusually bright with blown-out highlights due to the use of night mode, which was too aggressive. Video recording is capped at 1080p for both the primary and selfie cameras, with stabilization.
