Nowadays, selfies phenomenon is nothing short of a revolution sweeping people from all walks of life and belonging to all age groups. For all such selfie fanatics who are searching for a perfect selfie phone, we have come up with a list of best selfie phones under Rs. 20,000 in India.

Samsung J7 Pro

The Samsung J7 Pro is a mid-range phone that comes with a full metal body, AMOLED display, dedicated card slot, and a 13MP selfie camera with bright f/1.9 aperture lens. Samsung has also added a LED flash on the front.

The selfie camera on the phone can click good images in well lit indoor lighting, and also benefits from a more engaging software that can help you add live filters, stickers and more.

Vivo V5s

Vivo V5s (review) and V5 Plus (review) are two phones which are all over the places, at least as far as Selfie banners go. Vivo is leaving no stone unturned to advertise how impressive its selfie cameras are. And we do think these claims have some merit. The Vivo V5s deserves to be on this list of better selfie phones under Rs. 20,000. The phone packs a 20MP selfie camera assisted by a ‘moonlight’ fill flash.

Vivo uses a Sony IMX376 under the hood which definitely proves its worth with better selfies in a different ambiance. In case an effective Beautify mode is your yardstick to judge a selfie camera, Vivo V5s has got a great one.

Oppo F3

Oppo F3 is the latest addition to this list of best selfie phones under Rs. 20,000. The phone boasts of twin eyes up front which is rare in this segment. This selfie expert comes with a16MP front-facing camera with 76.4-degree wide-angle lens, 1/3.1-inch sensor, f/2.0 aperture and a secondary 8MP front camera with 120-degree wide-angle lens.

Though it takes good selfies in the normal mode, the group selfie mode is its real highlight. The secondary 8MP wide-angle lens has a 6P lens, which gives a larger field-of-view and helps reduce image distortion. Overall the phone offers a good mix of performance, looks, and can click pleasant selfies with detailed backdrops.

Gionee A1

Gionee A1 Selfie camera (1)

Gionee A1 (first impression) is the first smartphone from company’s republic of ‘#Selfiestan’ and comes with a ‘Smile Ok Please’ tagline. The USP of this newly launched smartphone is its 16-Megapixel selfie camera that comes with a dedicated LED flash. Gionee claims that the A1, unlike other contemporary selfie phones, features a customized selfie flash and independent facial enhancement algorithm that uses soft lighting effect to enhance facial complexions, giving users a natural glow.

Keeping company claims aside, our experience with the Gionee A1 selfie camera so far suggest it is one of the better selfie shooters in its class. The details and color tones are natural and for all those who like virtual touch-up and glamourous photos, it has an effective beautify mode present. Gionee has also added HDR mode for selfies.

Moto G5 Plus

Moto G5 Plus Selfie camera

Amidst all this frenzy, if you are looking for a jack of all trades smartphone that can click decent selfies, in our opinion, it will be the Moto G5 Plus (first impression). It’s an online exclusive phone targeted towards a different set of the audience when compared to the like of Gionee’s, Vivo’s and Oppo’s.

It comes with a modest 5MP selfie camera and doesn’t feature a selfie flash. So, why is it in this list, you may ask? Well, despite the lack of megapixel counts it still manages to take aptly-metered selfies even indoors. Apart from that, it probably has the best in class rear camera as well (if that counts).

ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S

ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S is another phone that packs an impressive set of hardware and includes what seems to be a competent selfie camera on paper. It flaunts a 13-megapixel selfie camera with PDAF, f/2.0 aperture and screen flash. Initial reviews claim great selfie performance which we will be soon testing in our full review.
