Best Smartphones Under 8,000

galaxyguide

I’ve been researching budget phones lately and I’m amazed at how many features you can get for under 8,000 these days! I’m looking for recommendations and real user experiences. Which smartphones under 8,000 are actually worth it right now?

I’m mainly interested in:

Good battery life
Decent camera for casual use
Smooth daily performance (not heavy gaming)
Reliable updates (if possible)

Are brands like realme, Redmi, Poco, or Infinix better in this price range? Anyone using a sub-8k phone that really surprised them? Would love to hear some suggestions and experiences before I make a decision!

Honestly, at this price point, Redmi and realme tend to duke it out for the best overall value-if you can grab a Redmi 13C or realme Narzo N53 on sale, you might be surprised how smooth they run for the basics (and no, the camera won’t make you Instagram-famous, but your lunch will look edible at least). Just don’t expect lightning-fast updates-manufacturers at this tier seem to think “update support” is an urban legend. But hey, for under 8k, you’re basically asking for a smartphone miracle and getting a minor marvel!
