Which 5G Phones Under Rs. 10,000 Are Actually Worth Your Money?

At around Rs. 10,000, you can now get a 5G phone with a 120Hz display, a large battery, and enough processing power for everyday use. These four models stand out in the budget segment, and you can purchase any of them on Easy EMIs with Bajaj Finance.

Buying a 5G phone under Rs. 10,000 no longer means settling for basic hardware. Faster 5G downloads, smoother scrolling, 50MP cameras, and all-day battery life are now accessible at this price point. Among current 5G mobile phones on the market, these four offer the most useful hardware for the money.

All four phones are listed on Bajaj Mall and can be purchased on Easy EMIs at Bajaj Finance partner stores across India. You can split the cost into monthly instalments starting from as low as Rs. 830 per month and choose a repayment tenure between 3 and 60 months, so even a sub-10k phone does not have to strain a single month’s budget.

Which 5G phones under Rs. 10,000 are worth buying in India?

Here is a breakdown of four 5G phones worth considering at this budget, with their key specifications:

1. Redmi A4 5G

The Redmi A4 5G runs on the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 processor, which handles everyday apps, streaming, and light gaming without noticeable lag. Its 6.88-inch display supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and quicker touch response. A 5,160 mAh battery keeps the phone running through a full day of regular use, and the glass sandwich design gives it a more premium feel than most phones at this price.

2. realme C63 5G

The realme C63 5G is powered by the Dimensity 6300 processor, which clocks up to 2.4GHz and handles day-to-day multitasking without slowing down. It supports dual 5G standby on both SIMs, so you can keep two SIM cards connected to 5G at the same time — useful if you use separate numbers for work and personal calls. The 120Hz display makes scrolling and navigation feel more responsive than 90Hz panels in the same price bracket.

3. Infinix Hot 50 5G

The Infinix Hot 50 5G pairs a 48MP main camera with a depth sensor, so you can capture reasonably detailed photos even on a tight budget. Its virtual RAM feature adds up to 4GB of extra memory by using internal storage, which helps the phone keep more apps open in the background while on 5G. It also carries a TÜV SÜD rating for five years of fluency, which is meant to indicate that everyday performance should stay smooth over longer use.

4. Samsung Galaxy F06 5G

The Samsung Galaxy F06 5G is Samsung’s most affordable 5G phone in India. It supports 12 5G bands across all Indian telecom operators with carrier aggregation for faster speeds. What sets it apart in this segment is the software commitment: Samsung promises four generations of OS upgrades and four years of security updates, which is significantly more than any other phone on this list. It also charges faster than most competitors at this price, with 25 W wired charging.
