Before starting I would like to let you know some essential facts of under 5K price range. This range is flooded with China clad Indian mobile manufacturers e.g. Lava, G-Five etc. No doubt these companies dominate under 5K segment but the major issue with these manufacturers is the quality. They add the features just for the hake of it and there is no perfection guaranteed. Normally I try to avoid these phones in the list compilation.
Getting a decent phone under 5K is definitely a tough job since manufacturers tend to compromise a lot due to budget constraint. But boy, don’t you worry. Hum hain na. Lets see what are the best available options in the market under 5K.
And yes, since 3G has entered India, I have tried to incorporate more 3G mobiles in the list.
