Everybody wants a phone which can make life easier and using which they can eliminate the use of other devices like camera, computer, music player etc. But everyone cannot afford to buy high end flagship phones, as they are extremely priced at the range of ₹30,000 to ₹45,000 which is quite a huge amount. So I came up with this article which will list some phones which carry almost same hardware and features as the high end phones but are way cheaper. Some of the brands listed below might be unheard but the quality and performance they deliver is almost same as the ones with big names.
