The fourth quarter of 2020 has been a massive shipment of mobile phones of around 45 million, with a y-o-y growth of 21%. In 2021, IDC expects a higher growth in the smartphone market, majorly driven by consumers upgrading to the mid-range segment of mobile phones and 5G offerings. The arrival of budget smartphones, especially those with exclusive features, has sustained the market’s growth. Nevertheless, the mid-range segment of smartphones has also grown steadily, with manufacturers introducing various models.
Therefore, before deciding to purchase the best phone under 30000, consumers need to check specific points and make an informed decision.
Points to focus on while purchasing mid-range smartphones
The smartphone market under the mid-range category is the most favoured segment in India. The devices can offer a high-quality camera, powerful battery life and every other essential feature if consumers can choose the right product.
However, numerous options in the market can confuse customers if they are looking to buy the best phone under 30000. Here are some of the important aspects to look for while
purchasing mid-range smartphones:
-
The right screen size
The most important factor to keep in mind while choosing
to buy a smartphone is the right screen size. It is because any operation on
the phone is only possible via an interaction with the screen.
Nonetheless, if you are spending below Rs.30,000, you
should always choose to have an AMOLED display panel that offers vibrant
colours compared to LCD screens and save battery while using darker themes and
wallpapers. The higher refresh rates are now quite popular in recently launched
phones, and consumers can avail 90Hz or 120Hz display at midrange prices.
-
Choose the right processor
If a customer is spending above Rs.25,000 to buy the best
phone under 30000, he/she should choose a Snapdragon 700 series or a MediaTek
Dimensity series chipset.
If consumers want their device to be future proof, they
should opt for a minimum of 128GB storage as the app sizes, and media downloads
require ample space. Therefore, buyers should opt for a least 8GB RAM mobile to
enjoy an efficient performance.
-
Battery life
Usually, mid-range budget phones come with good battery
life. This is why, while purchasing a smartphone in 2021, one should look for a
minimum 4,500mAh – 5,000mAh capacity so that the battery does not drain out
completely before the day ends.
-
Camera quality
Although most midrange devices are equipped with an
exclusive triple-quad camera set up; it is essential to look at the lenses’
quality before purchasing. A perfect triple or quad camera must have either
48MP or 64MP main camera sensor with an 8MP ultra-wide lens. Besides, consumers
must make sure that the device has a super front camera of 8MP resolution.
-
Software check
There are Windows, Android and Blackberry phones available
in the market. Before purchasing a smartphone, buyers must check the operating
system version. One should not willingly spend money on an older version of
Android or Windows phone.
Note: Different operating systems have varying hardware
requirements. The latest Windows 8 version demands lesser processor speed and
RAM compared to Android.
Therefore, following the above guidelines, individuals
can purchase a high-performance midrange device in 2021.
