Your smartphone has become the center of your universe — everything you do revolves around your smartphone. Whether it is making plans to meet up with your friends or get official work done, you need your smartphone.
You might want to upgrade your smartphone, but the money you have saved up is for more important things. But, that doesn’t mean you need to give up on the specifications you want in the phone. You can either borrow the money from your family or friends or opt for a mobile loan without credit card, which will facilitate you to pay the amount of the phone back through easy monthly installments. That is why we’ve got a list of budget smartphones for you:
Here are the top three phones under three budget categories: Under Rs. 15,000,
