Smartphone makers around the world are now introducing 5G connectivity to budget smartphones, thanks to advances in mobile processors. Although India is yet to roll out 5G commercially to the masses, smartphone brands are already flaunting the tech. But buying a 5G smartphone isn’t fully absurd as we may soon see the connectivity option in India, and you could be the first to get ultra-fast internet directly on the smartphone. If you’re planning to get a phone under Rs 20,000, here are five options you can check out.
iQoo Z3 5G (approx Rs 19,990): The iQoo Z3 5G sports a 6.58-inch Full-HD+ LCD display and carries the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G SoC paired with integrated Adreno 620 GPU under the hood. It runs on Android 11-based OriginOS out-of-the-box and supports dual 5G SIM cards. Its triple rear camera system houses a 64-megapixel primary camera. During our review, we found its cameras to be good, but the build quality wasn’t that great.
