Smartphones today are far more than calling devices — they’re our workstations, classrooms, entertainment centers and wallets. Whether it’s an office meeting, a child’s online class, mobile banking or high-quality video streaming, a reliable 5G phone matters.
If you’re shopping with a limit of ₹15,000, the good news is you still get solid options that balance screen, camera, battery and everyday performance. Below are five value-for-money 5G phones that suit most regular users.
Vivo T4 Lite 5G
The T4 Lite 5G is aimed at users who want a large display and long battery life. It packs a 6.78-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, and runs on the Dimensity 6300 processor — adequate for daily tasks and social apps.
The rear camera is 50MP for good daytime shots, while a 5MP front camera handles video calls. A 6000mAh battery comfortably lasts more than a day. On Amazon, the 4GB/128GB model is listed at around ₹12,999 and the 6GB variant at about ₹13,295.
Samsung Galaxy M17 5G
If brand trust and a balanced camera setup matter, the Galaxy M17 5G is a strong contender. It features a 6.7-inch display with 90Hz support and is powered by the Exynos 1330 processor for stable everyday performance.
