Battle of the budget smartphones

Huawei Honor  7A is here to rule the roost for budget smartphones in India.

Before May 2018, if you were on a tight budget, it was always the Redmi Note 5 that would come to your mind. But the newly launched Honor 7A is here to dethrone the current champion. Whats it got that Redmi’s not? It has the cool new facial recognition for unlocking your phone. So all your pricey cat photos and other important items in your phone can’t be accessed by just any colleague snooping around to get more dirt on you. There’s a fingerprint unlock system too, in case you want to double lock your phone.

It also has a setup for rear dual cameras - which  means your point and shoot game is going to be an enjoyable affair where you are the one who gets the job of clicking photos in your friend circle and family.

Is there any other smartphone in the same price category range with these uber cool flagship phone features? We don’t think so. Still need convincing? To add to the wonder of wonders - it has pretty sweet specs. Powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, combined with Adreno 505 GPU, it has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded up to 256GB. This means you can email your boss your client brief, watch Instagram videos and send your friends Whatsapp messages — all at the same time. The 3000mAh battery helps move along things nicely. All this overpowers Redmi 5’s  64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 450 SoC at 1.8GHz and with Adreno 506 GPU completely. Buy the current champion of the budget phones now at Flipkart.
