AI-Generated Summary

In this video, Manal from TechWiser explores the best smartphones under 20,000 rupees, catering to various needs like gaming, camera quality, and software experience. The OPPO K13 is recommended for gaming, featuring a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, 120Hz OLED display, and a massive 7,000 mAh battery with 80W fast charging. For a clean software experience, the CMF Phone 2 Pro stands out with its ad-free Nothing OS, 120Hz AMOLED display, and a 5,000 mAh battery, though it has slow charging and lacks optical image stabilization (OIS) in its camera. The Infinix Note 50S offers premium design with a 144Hz AMOLED display and solid performance at a lower price, but charging issues and patchy after-sales service are notable drawbacks. For camera enthusiasts, the Moto S60 Fusion is worth the extra cost, excelling in photo and video quality with OIS and a vibrant AMOLED display, though it struggles with heavy gaming. The Samsung Galaxy A35 is a great deal with its IP67 rating, 120Hz AMOLED display, and long-term software support but lags in performance for power users. Phones to avoid include the Moto H150 Neo for its small battery and the Nothing Phone 2A due to compromises in features and updates compared to the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Choose wisely based on your priorities!

Okay, so your budget is 20,000 rupees. What are your options? Well, you have this popular CMF phone 2 Pro, which you might think has a best camera, a 2x telephoto camera, but look at this video. It doesn’t use a telephoto in 4K. Or another option is this pocket friendly Moto H50 Neo. But then again, the battery is just 4300 mAh. And the list goes on and on. Even though there are so many smartphones out there, there is no perfect smartphone. Or is it? Well, this is Manal. You’re already watching TechWiser. And in this video, I will help you find a perfect smartphone under 20,000 rupees. Be it a best gaming phone, best software, all around the phone or the best camera smartphone. And I will also tell you which phones you should avoid. So unlike anything out there on the internet, we won’t bore you with the specs and all. Rather, we will give you some real world pros and cons. Let’s go. Okay, so the first phone in this list is the OPPO K13. And you will be like, “Techwiser recommending Oppo? Wait, what?” Well, if you’re looking for a gaming phone, then there’s no better phone under 20,000 than this one. So, what do you need for a gaming phone? Great battery, great processor, and a great display. And well, this phone has it all. Now, in terms of performance, it comes with Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 with UFS 3.1 storage, which is close to Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, a processor which is present in 25,000 phone. and it shows like we played BGMO on this one and it can play 60fps without any issue and we also played COD War Zone and it still supports high graphics and perform pretty well. Now for the display it comes with 6.67 in 120 Hz OLED display and of course a major highlight of this phone is the 7,000 mAh battery. For reference, this is Samsung S25 Ultra and this is iPhone 16 Pro Max. And both of them have 5,000 mAh battery while this Oppo K13 has 7,000 mAh battery and it’s still slimmer than both of them thanks to the silicon carbon. Now, in my usage, it easily lasts more than 1 and 1/2 days of battery backup. And the good thing is you get a 80W charger inside the box which can charge your phone easily within an hour. However, there are a few things that you should know before you buy this phone. Like it runs on Color OS 15 and you do get hot apps and hot games which again you can uninstall easily. Also, there are minor bugs here and there. Like see if I open the phone app, there is a slight delay and it has caused me problem few times like whenever I open the app, I always end up pressing the wrong contact. Overall, it’s a great value for money if you’re looking for a gaming phone. Now, I know some of you may suggest why not consider Vivo T4 or IQZ10 because it has slightly better performance and battery. Well, you can do it but for that you will have to pay extra 4,000 rupees which if it’s in your budget you can do it but for everyone else this is recommended. Now in a 20k phone if you are looking for a clean software experience and a unique design then we all know CMF phone 2 pro has to be there. The base 8 128GB variant starts at 19,000 and it’s currently running Android 15 based on nothing OS 3.2 and the good thing is it will still get three more years of software update. Now the software here is fast, fluid and most importantly there are no ads, no bloatware which is kind of rare in this price segment. Now you also get a neat customization option especially with the lock screen widget and this record widget which can even record WhatsApp audio calls and this time around nothing has also added this essential space which we saw in the nothing phone 3 series. So just press this essential key and it can quickly take a screenshot save it to the voice note and even set a reminder. Now in terms of specs, you also get a 6.7 in of 120 Hz AMOLED display which is the same panel that is used in Nothing Phone 3A. So the brightness, color, overall quality, all of it is topnotch. And if you talk about performance, it runs on MediaTek demenity 7300 Pro and it scores somewhere around 7 lakhs. Battery is also decent with 5,000 mAh battery and at this time around you get a 33W charger inside the box. That being said, there are certain cons that you should know. First of all, there is a single bottom speaker which gets the job. Second, the charging speed. Now, on paper, it has a 33 watt charger. But in real life, as you can see, it’s going nowhere close to 33 watt. So, it ends up taking 2 hours to fully charge, which is pretty slow for 2025 standard. And third, the cameras. Yes, it does have a triple camera setup, and don’t get me wrong, the photos are good, but there is no OIS in the main camera, so even a tiny shake can end up blurring the photos. But if you can live with all of that and you are looking for a clean UI, zero brow, no ads, and a really polished experience, then you can’t go wrong with the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Okay, so for the next phone, I have been using it for a month now, and it is pretty underrated. Yes, the Infinix Note 50S. Wonder why? Well, first of all, the design. The moment I picked this phone, I was like, wait a second, is this a phone under 20,000? because it has a solid inhand feel with a vegan leather back which feels really premium. Also, you get a 144 Hz AMOLED panel other has 120 Hz and that too with Gorilla Glass 5 otherwise the phone wouldn’t have survived a month with me. The second thing that I was really surprised by is the UI. There is almost no major ads or bloatware which is rare at this price range. Now coming to the performance, it comes with the Demen City 7300 Ultimate which is same as the 7300 Pro in CMF Phone 2 Pro. So long story short, if you see here are the specs of 20,000 rupees phone and these are the specs of Infinix Note 50s. Both of them are quite similar, right? And yet this Infin is almost 5,000 rupees list which is a great value especially at this price range. So so far it looks perfect, right? Well, nothing is perfect just like life. So whenever you charge this phone with your official case, it doesn’t work and I have tried with so many cable. I mean how can somebody mess it up in an official case? Another thing to look out for is the after sale service. So Infinenix has partnered with Kalare and they provide service in all the states but the availability is little bit patchy especially in the tier 2 cities. So yeah how good is Infin service? Only time will tell but this is a very solid phone. So much so that I have personally tried it for a month and I am wowed. Okay. So, so far we have seen a best gaming smartphone or a best allrounder smartphone. But if you’re looking for a best camera smartphone, then I would say stretch your budget a little bit and get the Moto S60 Fusion. Now, you do get a 50 megapixel main camera with OIS and the result. Just look at it. It’s quite good. We even did a side-by-side comparison with CMA Phone 2 Pro and as you can see, Moto takes more vibrant and sharp images. And the same goes for portraits. You also get a 13 MP ultra wide camera. Again, if you look side by side, the Moto S60 Fusion consistently take more detail photos. And again, in terms of video, Moto S60 Fusion supports 4K 30fps recording from both rear and front camera. Now, coming to the rest of the specs, you get a premium design with Vagal leather back and it also has a beautiful quad cut display like see there are three phones side by side in the segment and I’m not sure if you can see it on the camera, but Moto S60 Fusion has some really good display thanks to the high quality AMOLED display. And the better things than Moto phones is the software. It is loaded with features like smart connect and Moto AI. The only place it fell short is the performance. Now don’t get me wrong, you can do basic tasks like multitasking, watching Instagram, YouTube videos, as well as browsing internet pretty well. However, if you try to do extensive gaming for more than an hour, it might stutter. So yeah, if you are looking for a phone with good camera, decent performance, and a really good UI experience, then Moto S60 Fusion is totally worth considering. Now, if you’re looking for a best deal under 20,000, then this Samsung Galaxy A35 is perfect for you. It used to be sold at 27,000, but now the 81 128GB variant is available for 20,000. And for that price, you do get a lot of premium stuff. First of all, the Victus Plus protection at the back. Yes, Victus Plus at this price range. And it also comes with IP67 rating. So, little rain or splash, not a problem. And then there’s a display, a 120 Hz super AMOLED panel. And since it’s a A series smartphone, you also get the premium useful features like NFC, Samsung wallet, so you can make payments just by tapping your phone. Plus, you also get other Samsung features like good lock modules. And not just that, it is running on the latest 1 US7 running on Android 15. Plus, you still get three more years of update. But the performance is something you should know before you buy this phone. It comes with the Exynos 1380 which can handle the basic day-to-day task like browsing, WhatsApp, but if you’re a power user or a power gamer, then it can lag after an hour of gaming. Now, we have done a dedicated video on Samsung A35 which you can check out over here. But overall, if you’re looking for a great deal on Samsung phones, especially for your parents, then this is worth considering. Now, there are certain phones under 20,000 that might look super attractive on paper, but honestly, you should skip them. And the first one is this Moto H150 newu. Now don’t get me wrong, people love this Moto phones and for good reasons. It is lightweight, compact, you get a clean UI, IP68 rating, and a triple camera setup, even wireless charging. Now, all of that sound great, but one minor drawback is the 4,300 mAh battery, which can last a single day if you do basic tasks like scrolling, browsing internet, all of that. But if you are a power user who does a lot of gaming, then you can skip this phone. Another phone that I wouldn’t recommend right now is this nothing phone 2A. Now sure it is currently selling for around 18,000 rupees and yeah at this price this might look super tempting but once you start comparing with it something like the CMF Phone 2 Pro you will notice few important compromises. For starters you miss out on a telephoto camera which CMF Phone 2 Pro offers. Then there is also software support. The phone 2A will get one less software update compared to the CMF and probably the biggest letdown. There is no charger in the box. So yeah, unless you are really into this glyph interface, the Phone 2A doesn’t offer as much value compared to the other phone in the list. So yeah, that was our list. Let us know if you missed something. Comment section is all yours. So make a wise decision. This is Pa signing off. Pew pew pew. [Music]
