Smartphones, entry-level and budget phones are always consumer priority. This is because most of a smartphone users’ requirements are fulfilled within this range of pricing. Over the years, many have competed to create viable phones within the Rs 10,000 price bracket that attract many customers. Xiaomi, in particular has covered a niche for itself within this segment, that has helped establish its stable market base in India or other country.
Our list of best smartphones under Rs 9999, three Xiaomi phones can be considered. The list of all our favourite devices that cost less than 9999, and why we back them
Redmi Note 5 (3GB RAM option)
Featuring a 5.99-inch Full View display, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5 with a screen aspect ratio of 18:9. While offering a near bezel less display, this phone also sports a metal body. It is based on Android 8.1 Oreo, with MIUI 9.5.4 on top. This is backed by the Snapdragon octa core 625 processor, and with a 4000 mAh of battery backup. The Redmi Note 5 features a 12MP rear camera, and a 5MP front shooter camera. This phone comes with a fingerprint scanner at the back.
Users should note that, during an review, we did not experience any issues with long sessions of video streaming, or playing high resolution games such as Asphalt 8. The screen shows a good display of colours, and its near-bezel less design is a bargain at this price. The design is compact, and makes the phone a realistic choice, But in the budget segment. Cameras is also quite good from both cameras, as shown by the samples in our review.

Honor 7C (3GB RAM option)
Like the Redmi Note 5, it sports a 5.98 inches display and has a screen aspect ratio of 18:9.

On the plus side, Honor 7C gets a 13MP + 3MP dual-rear camera, as well as an 8MP front AI camera. This phone has a fingerprint scanner, but also offers face unlock feature But thats not work properly.
The review of the Honor 7C shows that the device offers great colour production and wide view angles. It has an HD screen that does not work its favour, given the output resolution. The phone performence during game play is well. Its camera gives above average performance in most modes, and is more than worth its price tag. At full tilt, its battery can last for up to 12 hours.

The camera exceeds expectations on most modes, and makes the Redmi 5A punch above its weight, and makes it a competitive option if you are on a really tight budget.
