Festival sale events will take place in India starting September 23 and people will be getting a big discount on several 5G phones. So, if you have been planning to buy a new phone, then this will probably be the best time to buy one. The market is already flooded with a lot of good options. We have mentioned one 5G phone from each brand to offer you a variety of options. Our list includes OnePlus Nord CE 2, Samsung Galaxy A52, Moto Edge 30, and more.
OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is one of the best 5G phones under Rs 25,000. One of the advantages of buying a OnePlus phone is that it comes with a clean and fluid software. You don’t get bloatware (aka third-party apps) out of the box and there are essential utility features too.
The handset offers a typical 6.43-inch AMOLED screen that refreshes at 90Hz. The screen even has support for HDR 10+ for high-end content viewing experience. The screen has 600nits of peak brightness, which is a bit lower than some of the rivals in the segment. But, the screen will be visible enough for usage when outdoors. However, this one doesn’t have dual speakers. For handling regular and hard core tasks, the device uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 900 chipset.
The camera performance is on par with the competition and you will get detailed shots in daylight. It is capable of delivering beautiful shots in ideal lighting conditions. There is a 4,500mAh battery and the company bundles a 65W fast charger in the box, which takes 45 minutes to fully charge the phone.
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G comes with a starting price of Rs 23,900 through Flipkart.
Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G
The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is yet another 5G smartphone that you can consider buying under Rs 25,000. It has a good 6.67 AMOLED 120Hz display which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It is powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC, which can offer smooth general performance. The camera is pretty good and can render some great shots with plenty of details, lively colours and balanced dynamic range. There is a typical 5,000mAh battery and the device ships with 67W fast charger.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ is only available via Amazon and it is currently priced at Rs 20,999.
Moto Edge 30 5G
The Motorola Edge 30 can also be in your buying list. Those who want more of a clean interface without pre-installed (third-party) apps will love the Moto Edge 30. It ships with near stock Android interface. But, this Motorola phone is more than that. The Moto Edge 30 has a 144Hz display for a smoother scrolling and gaming experience. Although, some popular games still don’t have support for 144Hz.
The device is using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ chipset, which is capable of offering stable and fast performance. This one has a slightly lower battery unit than some of the phones that are mentioned above. It features a 4020mAh battery under the hood.
While some of the mid-range 5G phones in the Rs 30,000 range are coming with up to 80W fast chargers, this one only ships with a 33W charger. But, the latter is still quick enough to charge the battery. As per our testing, the bundled charger takes around 55 minutes. The camera performance is decent. The images are not as detailed, but you get attractive shots with lively colours that you can share on online platforms.
The Motorola Edge 30 5G price in India is currently pretty low because of Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale and you get it for Rs 24,999 via Flipkart.
Realme 9 Pro+ 5G
The Realme 9 Pro+ is also one of the best 5G phones under Rs 25,000. It is for those who want a good camera-oriented 5G phone. The device can capture some great shots that you can show off on Instagram. The triple rear camera setup includes a flagship-grade primary camera that even has support for OIS. The Mediatek Dimensity 920 SoC is powering this device. It will not disappoint you in the performance department. Users will get lag-free performance and decent battery life. Under the hood is a 4,500mAh battery unit. On the front is a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen that is good enough for binge watching.
The Realme 9 Pro+ has also received a discount on Flipkart and it is currently priced at Rs 22,999 in India.
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A52 was launched last year and it is an old smartphone, but casual users will likely be pleased by it. It features a 6.5-inch display that operates at Full HD+ resolution. This is an AMOLED screen with HDR 10+ support, so users get a brighter panel and greater colour contrast for good content viewing experience. There are also stereo speakers that are pretty loud. It has a peak brightness of 800nits, which makes the screen visible enough in direct sunlight. The 5G phone draws power from a Snapdragon 720G SoC, which is good enough for general performance. For more powerful performance, you can also consider buying the Galaxy A52s which is using Snapdragon 778G chip. However, this model ships without a charger and will cost you around Rs 26,000 on Amazon, which is more than the set target for this listicle.
The Samsung Galaxy A52 comes with a 15W charger, but the company has also provided support for 25W fast charging. The handset has a 4,500mAh battery unit. The device even has an IP67 water resistant rating, which is an added bonus and help offer relief during rainy season.
The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G price in India starts from Rs 22,999 on Flipkart.
