Best mid-range phones

The definition of a ‘mid-range smartphone’ has undergone several changes over the past couple of years. 6-7 years ago, it meant a relatively expensive smartphone that didn’t carry many features, but given the fact that smartphones were still very new, those from the upper middle class were the ones who were able to afford mid-range smartphones. Only established brands like Samsung were truly able to boast about providing a ‘good’ mid-range device, but today, things have changed completely.

Mid-range phones today can even be compared to premium flagship devices, whether it is in terms of their looks, features, specifications, or their value addition. For instance, for less than Rs. 25,000, you can purchase a stunning mobile phone that comes with best-in-class features, excellent cameras, and a fast processor. A little higher on the price ladder, phones that cost around Rs. 30,000 give users the same user experience as the high-end, luxury devices. In essence, the mid-range segment has truly become the average user’s premium segment.

To drive this point home, we take a look at some of the best mid-range smartphones you can find in the market today.
