91mobilesSep 2024
One of the best picks under Rs 3,000 for battery, screen and calling; the chunky case and thick bezels are the main catches.

MySmartPriceSep 2024
Covers the basics well under Rs 3,000 with smooth software and long battery, though it isn't AMOLED and the call mic is weak.

The WeekSep 2024
A decent addition to Redmi's range for those who don't mind its big size; battery is the highlight.
