At the start of 2014, the entry level or the budget category was a segment where OEMs were not really focused and many of the smartphones which were launching had either poor hardware or out-dated software. But things have changed drastically in the last 6 months or so after Motorola, ASUS and Xiaomi announced their budget phones with mid range specs and half the pricing.
Now, the budget segment is totally a different segment with lots of new devices with terrific specs and performance are coming in. With more than 75% of smartphone sales in India in the sub 10k price point, this is indeed good for consumers. So here is a list of best smartphones with 2GB RAM below Rs 10000 in India.
