Redmi 6
Chinese mobile manufacturer Xiaomi’s Redmi 6 smartphone was launched in September last year. Redmi 6 is a great option in the price segment of less than Rs 7,000. In our review, we found that the build quality of the phone is good. The screen of the phone and its viewing angles are also good. The MediaTek Helio P22 processor has been used for speed and multitasking in Redmi 6. Its performance is good and we did not have any kind of problem.
Due to the low-end processor in the phone, it also has some limitations such as this processor is not able to handle heavy apps much well. The battery life of the phone is also very good, in our HD video loop test, the phone supported 14 hours and 34 minutes. Pictures taken from Redmi 6 in sufficient lights were good but the pictures in low-light were not very good.
Xiaomi Redmi 6 has two variants- one with 3 GB and 32 GB storage variants and the other with 3 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants. However, in this price segment, you will only get its 3 GB RAM variant.

In a budget of less than Rs 7,000, you will get only 2 GB RAM/16 GB storage variants.

Infinix scorching s3x
Infinix Hot S3X was launched in India for Rs 9,999. But after the price cut, Infinix Scorching S3X can now be purchased for less than Rs 7,000. The color of the phone screen is good and its viewing angles are good. The camera performance of the phone is also an important feature.

Heavy apps take a long time to open and we noticed that the phone slowed down a bit during scrolling on Facebook and Twitter. Infinix Scorching S3X has only one variant that comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage variants.
Asus zenfone Lite L1
The Janephone Light L1 of Asus brand is also a good phone in this budget. The viewing angles of the phone’s display are also good, the screen is small, due to which it is also easy to run the phone with one hand.

The phone slowed down several times during the day -long task. The screen sharp of Redmi Move (Review) is good and its viewing angles are good. Given the price of the phone, the camera is also fine, but you cannot expect to click good pictures from the phone. Pictures in low light are captured with granney and noys.
