Cheap vs Midrange vs Premium Smartphones

Let’s begin with the most popular segment of smartphones– the budget ones. To put it in numbers, smartphones costing under 20,000 rupees are considered as the budget midrange segment. The price usually begins above 10,000 rupees, to be precise. This segment caters to those looking for a basic smartphone experience with more focus on social media, light usage, and light gaming. Every major smartphone brand like Xiaomi/Redmi, Samsung, Realme, Vivo, Honor, and Tecno have their phones in the segment. But let me remind you, the processor and camera aspects are just on the decent side. Getting to the midrange arena, you’ll get to see multiple options too from the aforementioned brands.

Coming to the premium midrange segment (above 55K to under 1 lakh rupees) you’ll find the specs amped up in almost every aspect. The design and camera side of things gets more premium plus the SoCs are also of flagship-grade here. So, the segment caters to those seeking a flagship-like experience under 1 lakh rupees. Now, the top-of-the-line smartphones above (1 lakh rupees), Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhones are the top contenders. You can also find flagship phones from Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Honor. The contenders here offer the most powerful performance, stellar cameras, and best-in-class displays. The flagship segment is more directed towards those wanting the best in the competition, where price is not a major concern.
