Nextbit Robin
The Nextbit Robin launched a couple of days back offers an enchanting design, with capable mid-range hardware. It makes a lot of sense for a price of 20,000 INR, even if the cloud integration won’t work for you.
The Robin is running the latest Android Marshmallow software with a light custom skin on time. The launcher does things a bit differently and lacks an app drawer, but has been thoughtfully designed. The only downside seems to be the modest 2680 mAh battery.

Lenovo Vibe X3
Lenovo Vibe X3 is a carry forward from our last compilation. It was one of the best options in its class back then, and the same holds true today as well. The Vibe X3 is primarily a multimedia focused handset, which cleverly integrated dual front firing speaker. Lenovo’s TheatreMax is an added bonus.
The camera performance is good, but not great. Also, it’s a tad heavy, but ergonomic design makes up for the increase in weight to an extent. The Snapdragon 808 hexa-core chip humming inside renders smooth performance.
Pros
- Great design
- Smooth performance
- Fingerprint sensor
- Good quality display
Cons
- Still running Android Lollipop
- Camera performance could have been better.

Moto X Style
It’s been a while since Moto X Style was first introduced in India, but the handset is now available for a very compelling price of 20,999 INR (You can avail extra discount via exchange offer). If you can live without a fingerprint sensor, the Moto X Style has a lot to offer.
The list includes a stunning LCD display, raw grunt of Snapdragon 808 ticking inside, a pretty decent camera setup, latest Andorid Marshmallow software and a premium design.

Vivo V3
If you prefer a compact smartphone, you will definitely find the Vivo V3 appealing. The handset is quite slim, flaunts a metal back door, and has a 2.5D glass (that subtly curves on the corners) layered on the front.
Besides great looks, it packs enough hardware for convenient day to day usage. The camera performance is reasonably good too. The handset has a 5 inch HD display, which feels better than the one on V3 Max (in spite of lower resolution). The Vivo V3 owes its spot in this list to its compact, elegant design and sturdy build.

Samsung Galaxy J7
If you prioritize branded options, Samsung Galaxy J7 is a workable alternative that should render pretty decent end-user experience, provided you don’t push it too far.
Its biggest strength is its design and enticing display (feels great in spite of 720p resolution). The octa-core Exynos processor powering the handset is good enough for graphics intensive gaming and for normal day to day usage. Another plus point is the battery backup, which comfortably gets you through your day. The camera performance isn’t poor, but it certainly isn’t the best camera that you get in the price bracket.
