Here are five hot options to choose from...
Redmi 2 Prime
The Redmi 2 Prime smartphone boasts of the same solid build quality as the Redmi 2, with buttons that feel firm to operate, and a fully-laminated touchscreen for scratch protection. Its display is capable of vibrant colours and crisp text, and is readable under sunlight in bright setting.
On the downside, it's the only handset in this roundup with a smaller 4.7-inch display. Also, the navigation controls under its screen are not illuminated, and this can prove to be quite frustrating when operating it in the dark -- at least till you get accustomed to the device.
In productivity benchmark tests, the Prime notched the highest scores in this roundup, and -- as expected -- it performed smoothly when browsing the web, editing images, and handling multiple apps. There is a discernible drop in frame rates when playing 3D games, though most entry-level apps offer no challenge.
This smartphone handles full-HD videos without a stutter, and works just as well for music listening. Phone calls are loud and clear, and is comparable to higher-priced devices. Still, you would need to rely on earphones when watching movies.
On the camera front, snapshots captured by its rear shooter appear slightly overexposed, and brighter areas in pictures might appear devoid of details, but this is not a deal breaker at this price point. What you also get is a snapper that's capable of clear macro shots, and a wider front cam lens for selfies, though we wouldn't recommend its beauty setting that tends to over smoothen details, while also adding an extremely pink tinge to Indian skin tones.
Buy if you want a smartphone that's capable of call recording; comes with 16GB internal storage, a microSD slot, USB OTG and which handles most productivity tasks while giving you a full day's use on a single charge.
