The real ₹10k 5G has become a lot more plausible recently and there a couple of clear winners. The realme Narzo N65 5G is one of the best 5g phone under 10000 and most promising options at around ₹9,999, with its feature set that provides good everyday usability that won't look dated even after a year or two. However, if battery efficiency is more important, the Redmi 13C 5G, which costs around ₹8,999 is worth considering as Redmi always optimises its battery performance for long usage without draining quickly on 5G. If you are looking for a more reliable device, the Samsung Galaxy M15 5G, available for a price in the region of ₹9,999, has a longer software support period, which is important if you are planning on holding on to the device for a long time. If you are not interested in spending too much money on 5G, the POCO M6 5G is also a good option at around ₹8,499.These will all be adequate for calls, streaming, social media and basic web surfing on a better network; none of them are going to support heavy gaming well.I would say check out TechyAssist's comparison of the 5G options before you make your decision as they actually test the networks' performance, and you can purchase the one you choose straight from their page.
