91mobiles77/100
Light, tough design, smooth 144Hz curved screen, capable main camera and good battery, but slower than rivals and short on updates.
-
A dependable budget phone that gets the basics right and is good value under Rs 20,000, though the cameras are its weak spot.

Called a do-it-all budget phone, with the Realme P3 Pro named as a rival (score and headline via Notebookcheck's list; site blocked).
