The Rs 30,000 range is where most first smartphones and phones for parents are bought. Every set here is new, box-packed and PTA approved, with the brand’s own warranty, and prices are checked against the market every night.
Every new, box-packed phone we sell at Rs 30,000 or less today. Storage options of one model count once, at the lowest price that fits. Sorted from the top of the budget down, so the most phone for the money comes first.
Compare storage and battery first, then the screen. A bigger battery and more storage make a bigger daily difference than the chip name at this budget. A smoother 90 or 120Hz screen is a nice extra when two phones are otherwise close.
Pick a model with a large screen and a big battery, set the font size up, and keep WhatsApp backups on. Simple phones from big brands get service-centre support in most cities, which matters more than one extra camera.
