Due to the glossy back panel, this phone looks premium but the fingers of the phone are easily on the back panel of the phone. Xiaomi has given a case in the retail box that fits well. Case devices will prevent fingers from getting fingers. If seen from the front side, Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7S and Redmi Note 7 Pro looks the same, due to which it is difficult to differentiate between these three.

All three models have a big display with small notch. Xiaomi has named it “dot notch”. The frame is still made of plastic and the placement of the button is also the same. We found that the hand to the power button easily reaches while the volume button is placed slightly above it. The frame of the Redmi Note 7S is curved, due to which the phone gets easily fit in the hand.

Apart from this, a USB Type-C port is also provided.

Redmi Note 7S has a hybrid dual-sim tray on the left. In such a situation, you can use either two nano sim or a SIM and a microSD card. The hybrid dual-sim slot may disappoint a bit and that too when some convertible device has a dedicated microSD card slot.

Like Redmi Note 7 Pro, a dual rear camera setup has been given on the back panel of Redmi Note 7S. The camera module is slightly embossed. Dual-LED flash has found space just below the camera module. We found that the fingerprint scanner has been well placed and the hand is easily reached to the sensor.

The fingerprint scanner has a matte finish compared to the glossy rear panel. Xiaomi has launched three color variants of Redmi Note 7S- Onix Black, Ruby Red and Safeer Blue. We have an onix black color variant of the Redmi Note 7S for review. 10 watt charger is available in the retail box of Redmi Note 7S.

Different display modes have been given in the phone, not only that, you can also adjust the color temperature as per your choice.

Redmi Note 7S has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, remember that this chipset was also used in Redmi Note 7. We have seen that this processor has also been used in Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 (Review), which is also priced in this price segment. Snapdragon 660 processor Redmi Note 7 Pro is not as powerful as Snapdragon 675 chipset.

Xiaomi has launched two variants of Redmi Note 7S, one with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage variants and the other with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants. The 3 GB RAM variant of the Redmi Note 7S is priced at Rs 10,999, while its premium variant is sold for Rs 12,999. Connectivity includes USB Type-C port, 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and four satellite navigation system support.

Our Redmi Note 7S Review Unit runs on MIUI 10.3 based on Android 9 Pie, as well as the latest May security patch. MIUI is very customized, but you will feel the same as before if you are upgrading from another Xiaomi smartphone. If there is any change in settings, the search button will help you.

Theme support is also available in MIUI and with its help you can customize the look of software. The Redmi Note 7S has a lot of blotware. The smartphone will get a pre-installed pre-install in the smartphone. Xiaomi’s own apps such as apps store, music, me video, me drops, me will also be available. We found that music and Mi video app is a little spamy because they have been sending notifications throughout the day. We have covered most of MIUI 10 shortcuts and features in a review of our Redmi Note 7 Pro.

Redmi Note 7S performance, battery life and camera

The Redmi Note 7S is a competent smartphone that handles all the task easily. It was easy to do multitasking while scrolling in menu and between many apps. The Redmi Note 7S did not slow down at all. The fingerprint sensor also works faster. The phone also has a face unlock feature, it works well in the light but it takes longer to unlock the phone in the dark.

Redmi Note 7S has support for Widevine L1 DRM, which will enable you to enjoy Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in HD resolution. The voice loudly comes from the speaker and we enjoyed while watching the content on this smartphone. The speaker could have been a little better than that.

We saw PUBG Mobile in the phone and makes it easily run on the phone medium setting. After playing for about 20 minutes, we found that the place above the fingerprint sensor gets a bit hot. Like Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7S also has a 4,000 mAh battery and it also provides similar battery life. In our HD video loop test, Redmi Note 7S supported for 13 hours and 17 minutes which is a good score.

The phone makes charging fast. The charger received with the phone charges 35 percent in half an hour and up to 65 percent in one hour. It charges the phone completely within two hours. The Redmi Note 7S Qualcomm Quick Charge comes with 4.0 standard support but for this you have to buy a separate competition charger.

A major difference compared to the Redmi Note 7 is that the camera setup of the Redmi Note 7S is different. Redmi Note 7S has two rear cameras. LED flash is a 48 -megapixel primary camera with F/ 1.8 aperture. It has a 5 megapixel secondary camera. A 13 -megapixel front camera has been given for selfie.

The camera app is the same as we have seen in another Xiaomi phone and it also has AI scene recognition support with HDR and color filters. Various camera modes including portrait, panorama, night and Pro are also provided. During the shoot with Redmi Note 7s, the camera comes into AI action and detects plants, buildings and animals properly. If you are shooting against the light, it enables HDR to automatically. Color reproduction in the photos was good.

Macro shots were correct but the phone does not show the color correctly while taking a picture of flowers. We also found that the age of our subject was not as sharp as it was seen in the photo shot with the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Portrait mode uses secondary camera and we get good bokeh effects but there is no way to adjust the blur level. Edge detection was good but the Redmi Note 7S oversees some shots.

Low-light performance was also good but the picture was seen fine grains. The picture of the object present at the distance lacks details. The phone has a night mode which makes the photos bright but at the same time the pictures appear in the pictures. In the pictures taken from the selfie, the details were well captured and we found that the AI ​​beautification of the phone was also useful. The background of most of our selfies was overseasposed even when HDR was enabled.

The primary camera is capable of recording the video of 1080P resolution but you have the option to record 30 frames per second or 60 frames per second. Electronic image stabilization is available in the phone but it is not as effective in low light.

Our decision

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S and Note 7 are almost the same when it comes to their hardware. But the main difference between the two is their rear camera modules. If you do not care about the camera performance, the Redmi Note 7 provides the same experience at a low price. You Asus zenfone max pro m2 ,Review) You can also consider and it is available at a price less than the Redmi Note 7S.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a phone with good camera performance then Xiaomi Mi A2 (Review) You can prove to be a great option for you which is equipped with stock Android. If you can spend a little more money then Redmi Note 7 Pro (Review) There is a very good option.

Nokia brand phone maker HMD Global has the latest smartphone in India Nokia 4.2 and has been launched in the budget segment. Nokia 4.2 has a curved dual-glass design and is equipped with stock Android Experience. Other than this Nokia 4.2 In the dedicated Google Assistant button. The build quality of Nokia 4.2 is good and the stock can help Nokia 4.2 to rise above Android software competition. Especially when Xiaomi, Realme and ASUS give smartphones equipped with better hardware and higher prices. We have tested Nokia 4.2 to know whether to buy it can prove to be a profitable deal for you or not?

Design of Nokia 4.2

The most important aspect of Nokia 4.2 is its design, it has taken some elements from Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus (Review) and looks attractive in appearance. Overall, the esthetic profile is clean, especially the black variant of the phone. We are reviewing this black variant of Nokia 4.2, besides its gloss pink variant.

Nokia 4.2 has a 2.5D glass on the front and back panel that gives it a premium look. On the other hand, nowadays most of the smartphones are coming with grades Finnish. The rear of the phone has a dual camera module, a flash and fingerprint sensor just below the rear camera. The rim of this phone comes with curved profiles and glossy finish. If we look at the price of Nokia 4.2, it gives a premium look at this price.

The length of Nokia 4.2 is 148.95×71.30×8.39 millimeters. Nokia 41.’s profile is small and it is easy to hold and use it in hand. You do not need to adjust after holding the phone in hand nor do you need to stretch your thumb to reach every corner of the screen. Let us know that the build quality of Nokia 4.2 is also good.

On the left side of the phone is a dedicated Google Assistant button, it can be useful for those who regularly use virtual assistants. Once a press will open it, Google AI Assistant will open, then a page will open on double press which will contain relevant information and suggestions based on the user’s activity and location.

The volume button is given just above the power button on the right side of the phone. On the left side of the phone is a SIM tray in which two Nano-SIM and a microSD card can be installed. It is possible to increase storage to 400 GB with the help of cards. The upper part of the phone has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and microphone, while the lower part of the phone has a micro-USB port, speaker and other microphones.

Nokia 4.2 certainly looks premium but also has a negative aspect. Due to the glass rear panel, dust particles and fingers are found. You will not get a protective case in the retail box, so you will have to buy it separately. Overall, Nokia 4.2 is one of the best looking phones at this price. Nokia 4.2 has only one variant that comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage and is priced at Rs 10,990 in the Indian market.

Nokia 4.2 Specifications and Features

Nokia 4.2 not only gives a premium look but its build quality is also good. Let us now talk about the specification of Nokia 4.2. The phone has a 5.71 -inch HD + (720×1520 pixels) display that comes with a waterdrop notch. Its aspect ratio is 19: 9 and pixel density is 270 pixels per inch.

Nokia 4.2 uses the Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 processor. There are 3 GB RAM for multitasking. The processor may disappoint a little when the smartphones at the same price or less are equipped with powerful processors such as Snapdragon 660 and MediaTek Helio P70 chipset.

If you increase the budget slightly, then you will also get a phone equipped with Snapdragon 675 or Snapdragon 710 processor. Nokia 4.2 has two cameras on the back. The primary sensor is 13 megapixels. This autofocus lens F /2.2 aperture. With this, a 2 -megapixel sensor will work in Jugalbandi. There is an 8 -megapixel front camera for selfie, which will have an aperture F /2.0.

There is no fun camera feature except Bokeh mode, panaroma and time-laps. Nokia 4.2’s default camera app does not have features like AR stickers, slow-mo video recording and night mode. Talking about software, Nokia 4.2 smartphone is part of Google’s Android One program and it runs on Android 9 Pie. Our review unit is running on February 2019 Security Patch.

Since the phone is running on Android Pie, you will also get features like digital velbeng, adaptive battery, adaptive brightness and navigation gesture. Ambient display is another useful feature that shows notifications for incoming messages, calls and alarms without opening the screen. Nokia 4.2 is equipped with face unlock feature but it is not reliable nor works fast. On the other hand, the fingerprint sensor works well and unlocks the phone within a second.

Nokia 4.2 does not have blotware nor did we see any advertisements in the phone. A major advantage with Nokia 4.2 is that it is assured of OS updates as compared to the ridicule handset. Android Q and Android R for this phone will also be rolled out in the coming time. Also, the phone will also get security updates for three years. The viewing angles of the phone are also not very good.

Nokia 4.2 performance, camera and battery life

Let’s first talk about the display of Nokia 4.2. Nokia 4.2 has a 5.71 -inch HD + display, text sharp and video content also look well. If the phone is used outside in daylight, reflectiveness is a problem. Reading was acceptable in sunlight. However, it was difficult to watch dark background photos and videos.

Everyone wants a phone whose display is better and is equipped with high resolution and wide viewing angle. A good thing about Nokia 4.2 is that it has a adaptive brightness feature for automatic brightness adjustment. Apart from this, night light mode has also been given to prevent any problem in viewing the screen at night.

Despite running on stock Android, we found Nokia 4.2 a little slow. We hope its performance will be faster. Take your time to load the app. For example, when other apps are running in the background, it takes some time to open the keyboard in WhatsApp and Twitter.

When it comes to gaming, Snapdragon 439 processor is not so much capable but we still saw the game playing in the phone to test it. We saw games like Temple Run and Candy Crush and this smooth went on but he played on heavy games such as Pubg Mobile on low-graphics but still takes time to load.

Asphalt 9: While playing Legends, we felt that the phone had slowed down. We have also seen Redmi Note 7 and Realme 3 coming in this price and when it comes to gaming, these phones perform better. One thing is clear that if you want to play the game regularly then Nokia 4.2 is not for you.

Now let’s talk that Nokia 4.2 camera performance. The pictures taken in the light of the day were good but the picture lacks sharpness and age details. The pictures taken in the natural light came crisp and the dynamic range was also above average. The colors in the macro shots were captured properly, the gradients appeared correctly but we got better results from Realme 3 and Redmi Note 7.

Apart from this, you will definitely be disappointed due to AR stickers, scene mode and artistic bokeh or lighting effect in Nokia 4.2. This phone also does not have low-light mode, so it was not surprising that noys and granny textures appeared in the pictures taken in the dark. Now talk about front camera. Photos taken from selfie camera looked natural. Along with keeping the phone subject and background separate, Blur Effect also applies. But there was a lack of sharpness in the pictures. You can adjust the intensity of Bokeh Effect while taking a picture.

There is an alternative beautification filter that works to enlarge the eyes, thin the jokes and smoothing the skin. This phone comes with Google lens which easily identifies objects. Even though it identifies it at a slow pace, most of the results were accurate.

When it comes to the video, both front and rear cameras are able to record videos on full-HD and HD resolution, but there is no way to adjust the frame rate or aspect ratio. Talking about the quality of the video, this is average. Colors look properly but there was some trouble while locking the focus.

There are two major troubles with Nokia 4.2 that may disappoint the user. While locking the focus, the phone has some trouble, due to which the quality of the photo is seen. The second big problem is that the phone slows down slightly. We often had to stay for a few seconds before trying to lock the focus again and tap the shutter button several times. This problem occurred with both front and rear cameras.

To check if this problem is happening in our review unit due to the old software, then we tested the second Nokia 4.2 phone which was running on the May 2019 security patch but we still had the problem of focus lock.

The 3,000 mAh battery works to revive this phone, which barely go on all day. We made some phone calls, used social media apps, web browsing for a while, watched some videos on YouTube and played games for about 30 minutes, not only that, not only the productivity app. The battery capacity is definitely the lower side.

In our HD video battery loop test, the phone supported only 10 hours and 13 minutes. Talking about charging speed, the charger that comes in the retail box takes more than two and a half hours to fully charge the phone. Nokia 4.2 does not have fast charging support. On playing about 30 minutes, 10-15 percent of the battery was consumed. Nokia 4.2 also gets slightly warm.

Our decision

Nokia 4.2 certainly looks good and many people will also appreciate its stock Android experience. Notification LEDs around the power button have also been given well, apart from this, there are no such benefits in the phone that can be told. Nokia 4.2 does not have a powerful processor, as well as its camera performance is also nothing special. The camera app does not even have many features that customers need. The price of Rs 10,990 is very high for this phone.

Reporting handset, if we talk about Nokia 4.2 hardware specification and overall its experience Redmi Note 7 ,Review) And Realme 3 ,Review) Nokia 4.2 is not more powerful than the match. Other than this Asus zenfone max pro m2 ,Review, Realme 3 Pro (Review) and Redmi Note 7 Pro ,Review) There are also good options that may be a profitable deal.

Realme C2 design

Most budget smartphones are boring in appearance. Handset manufacturers usually do not prefer design to keep prices low and to keep performance good.

Like other Realme smartphones, Reality C2 also has driving and riding mode which automatically puts the phone in DND mode when the car connects with the Bluetooth head unit. When you reject an incoming call, it can also auto-concert to SMS. Gesture navigation is also available in Realme C2.

Realme C2 Performance, Battery Life and Camera

The performance of Realme C2 is acceptable in this price segment, MediaTek Helio P22 processor has been used in the phone. We did not have any kind of problem while launching the app and scrolling in the menu, but when we pulled the notification panel down, the phone would slow down.

We also saw multitasking on this phone, but sometimes the phone takes some time to load heavy apps. Of course the fingerprint sensor has not been given in the phone but it is equipped with face unlock feature. This smartphone quickly unlocks the phone.

We played PUBG Mobile on low settings, graphics on smooth and frame rate on medium. The gameplay was not smooth and it was going stuck. We turned the frame rate into low, causing a slight difference in the gameplay but it was still not smooth. Realme C2 has a 4,000 mAh battery to revive, the phone’s battery life is good.

The details in the selfie captured well and the quality in this price is also good. Realme C2 also has HDR support for front camera. The resolution video of the rear camera 1080P is capable of making the resolution video of 720P.

Our decision

At an initial price of Rs 5,999 Realme c2 There is also powerful hardware, good battery life and up-to-date software. We have usually seen smartphones with weak processors and old software at this price. The camera is an aspect of this phone that requires improvement but its quality in this price is correct.

If you buy the base variant of Realme C2, then tell that it can prove to be a profitable deal. If you are thinking of buying 3 GB RAM variants of Realme C2 and if you can increase your budget a little Redmi 7 Or Nokia 5.1 Plus ,Review) Also can prove to be the best option for you. These smartphones are also available at the same price but if compared then they come with better hardware.

When we started using the phone for the first time, our review unit was running on March 2019 security patch. But after getting the phone update, this phone is now running on April 2019 Android Security Patch. ColorOS does not have an app launcher and all apps are on the icon home screen.

Oppo A5S has some blotware. Our review unit has already pre-install apps like Facebook, Opera, Phone Manager, Theme Store, Music Party and Game Space. The game space automatically adds a compatible game and gives you an option to lock screen brightness and block banner notifications so that there is no obstruction of any kind in your gaming session.

You can also uninstall some of these apps to empty storage. You can change the look of UI with the help of a free theme. Smart Sidebar is a pop-out tray where you will get app shortcuts and it can be launched from any screen. When the phone is on standby, you can also open the app by making letters i.e. gesture on the screen.

Oppo A5S performance, battery life and camera

Given the hardware given in Oppo A5S, its performance is good. Oppo A5S opens scrolling and app without any problem but it is not sharp in multitasking. We found that the phone often has to re-launch the apps as it does not run in many apps in the background.

The back panel of Oppo A5S has a fingerprint sensor. The hand to the sensor easily reaches and it unlocks the phone quickly. Oppo A5S will also get face unlock support and it also works fast. We liked the display of Oppo A5S but loudspeakers make the sound a little slow.

In this price segment, the sound quality of Oppo A5S is less than the average of all the other smartphones we have tested. Redmi 6 The MediaTek Helio P35 processor given in Oppo A5S is slightly more powerful than the Helio P22 chipset. If Redmi Y3 ,Review) And Redmi 7 ,Review) If the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor is compared to the processor, Helio P35 has scored slightly less in the CPU and Graphics Benchmark.

We saw the PUBG Mobile game playing in Oppo A5s and it was on low-setting by default. The game space was enabled, so the phone clears RAM every time when the game is launched.

However, it takes more time than normal to load the game. We found that while playing, the phone would sometimes slow down, due to which the frame rate had to be set on the smooth experience during gaming. After playing 20 minutes PUBG mobile, we found that 4 percent of the battery was reduced which is acceptable.

The 4,230 mAh battery given in Oppo A5S gives better battery life. In our HD video loop test, the smartphone supported for a short time from 24 hours. We used the phone in a normal way as played PUBG Mobile, used Whatsapp and used Google Maps for navigation. Even after all this, Oppo A5S supported for two days.

The charger found with the phone takes more than two hours to fully charge the phone. The Oppo A5S has two rear cameras, a 13 -megapixel primary sensor with aperture F/2.2 and a 2 -megapixel depth sensor, whose aperture is F/2.4. There is an 8 -megapixel front camera for selfie and video calling with aperture F/2.0.

We found that the camera app of Oppo A5S is quite easy to use. Apart from standard photos and video modes, Oppo A5S has portate and pano mode. In default mode, you will find buttons for flash, HDR, timer and flitter, with the help of which you will be able to apply before taking the picture. Apart from this, face beauty button has also been given. The 2x Digital Zoom button is also provided.

In daylight, Oppo A5S captures the light properly and the exposure also comes in the photos. Oppo A5S focuses quickly while taking a macro shot. This maintains the difference between the subject and the background. The detail average in the macro shot came and the photos were not much sharp. While taking photos in portrait mode, we found that the age detection was not favorable.

The camera performance in low-light did not come up very much. The phone takes more time to lock the focus, due to which there is a lack of brightness in the pictures. Oppo A5S keeps the noise under control but when zoom is seen and there is also a lack of details. In the selfie drawn from Oppo A5S, the details are well captured and the phone manages the exposure properly.

Both primary and front cameras are capable of recording video at a maximum of 1080p resolution. But video stabilization is not given in Oppo A5S.

Our decision

Oppo A5S has been launched in the price segment of less than Rs 10,000 in India. This segment will get a tough challenge to this smartphone of Oppo brand. The specialty of Oppo A5S is its battery life. We found that the camera performance is favorable but in this price segment we have seen better than this. In this segment, Oppo A5S has only less than other options in the RAM market.

If you are not fond of playing gaming in your smartphone and you give importance to battery life, then Oppo A5s can prove to be a good phone for you. But if performance is important for you, then in the same price segment Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ,Review) And Asus zenfone max pro m2 ,Review) Smartphones can prove to be the best option for you.

There is no doubt that in an event organized by the company on Tuesday OnePlus 7 Pro But everyone’s eyes were fixed but we feel that OnePlus 7 There is also a smartphone that is excited because it has been launched with an attractive price. The team of Gadgets 360 was also present at the launch event held in Bangalore where the company took the most time to give information about OnePlus 7 Pro and new Bullets Wireless 2 earphones and then at the end, OnePlus 7 was unveiled.

OnePlus 7 is not more exciting than OnePlus 7 Pro, but one thing that attracts everyone’s attention is its initial price. The same processor has been used in OnePlus 7 for just Rs 32,999, which is in OnePlus 7 Pro, ie Snapdragon 855 chipset. This will be enough for many to buy it. We have spent some time with Mirror Gray and Red color variants during the launch event, let us now provide you information about it.

OnePlus is similar to OnePlus 6T. OnePlus 7 has a grill wide for earpiece, besides it is a little difficult to tell the difference between the two phones. OnePlus is a very light phone, at first it felt that we are feeling light because in the past we used a little weighted OnePlus 7 Pro compared to it.

However, if you look at its specification, then you will know that OnePlus 7 is a slightly lighter smartphone compared to OnePlus 6T. Both color variants are glossy, due to which the fingers of the fingers are easily fallen. If you use the phone without a case or the cover, then the fingers of the fingers will be easily on the phone.

OnePlus 7 has two color variants but we feel that its red variant is more attractive. Some of the most important features of OnePlus 7 Pro have also been given by the company in its affordable OnePlus 7 such as UFS 3.0 flash storage, stereo speakers, dolby atmos support and upgraded in-display fingerprint sensor.

If we are unable to test its speakers on Venue during the launch event, then we will be able to give us detailed information about them only after getting the review unit. There will be a slight change in the secondary camera as compared to OnePlus 6T. Recall that the company had given a 20 -megapixel depth sensor in OnePlus 6T but in OnePlus 7 you will get a 5 -megapixel depth sensor. The thing to see will be how it affects the picture when it takes a picture in portate mode.

The display of OnePlus 7 is similar to OnePlus 6T. Its brightness and color reproduction is also good. Like OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 7 also runs at OxygenoS 9.5. In this you will get an in-built screen recorder and Zen mode, although it does not have a FNATIC Games mode. Like OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus7 also does not have wireless charging support.

OnePlus 7 smartphone will come with fast charging support of 20 watt, while the company has 30 watt Warp Charge Fast Charging Technology Support in OnePlus 7 Pro. If you use OnePlus 6T then upgrade to OnePlus 7 will not be a profitable deal for you as most of its updates are intended.

We hope that our review unit will come soon. After testing, we will provide you in detailed information about its performance, battery life, display, build quality and other things in the review of OnePlus 7.

Like smartphones, laptops have also become ubiquitous these days as we depend on them for most of our work. Gone are the days when people used to buy assembled desktops. Buying a budget laptop is easier than assembling a desktop, and it is also affordable. The benefits are very obvious. Laptops do not take up much space, so you do not need to make space in your living room or bedroom only for laptops. The second is that you can put the laptop in a backpack and take it anywhere. Before buying a laptop you should look at your personal needs and think about the purpose for which you are purchasing the new laptop and how you will be using it.

Why buy a laptop for less than Rs 20,000?

Not everyone needs a razor-thin laptop or a laptop to run high-end PC games. Sometimes a basic laptop is all you need to make a Skype call, run Word, Excel or other office applications, or watch a movie or TV show. Students staying in hostels require a basic computer for their assignments and projects for which a budget laptop should suffice.

Sometimes you need a second computer at home for basic tasks for your children or any other family member. Today’s budget laptops are often good enough for basic photo editing, which you can’t always do easily on your phone or tablet.

Best laptops available for less than Rs 20,000

Acer Aspire 3 (A315-32)

Among all the laptops we tested under Rs 20,000, we found that Acer Aspire 3 (A315-32) Better performance and available at the best price. It’s quite thin which we liked. The plastic body is well constructed, with not much flex in the lid or keyboard area. The lid can tilt up to 180 degrees so you can work comfortably.

It is one of the few laptops in this segment in which the RAM and hard drive are accessible through the bottom for easy upgrades. Windows 10 will be pre-installed in the laptop, along with some useful apps that help in keeping the drivers and software up to date. The laptop is equipped with an Intel Pentium Silver N5000 quad-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac.

On tests like file compression and video encoding, the Aspire 3 (A315-32) took the least time compared to other laptops we tested. Battery life is also good, on a single charge you will be able to do more of your work throughout the day.

Aspire 3 (A315-32) is not a perfect laptop and the reason behind this is that Acer has given so many specifications in this price segment but has compromised a bit with the display and speakers. The viewing angle is also not the best and the brightness could have been better. The stereo speakers are at the bottom and when turned up at high volume, the sound doesn’t sound a bit good.

It’s one of the heaviest laptops we’ve tested. Overall, if you want a big screen and low resolution is not a problem for you, then Aspire 3 (A315-32) for Rs 19,990 can prove to be a great option for you.

iBall CompBook Netizen 4G

We’ve tested several laptops from iBall over the years, but the company launched a while ago CompBook Netizen 4G A unique offering, especially considering its price. This laptop comes with 4G SIM slot with the help of which you can stay connected to the internet all the time.

This feature can prove useful for those who frequently travel and do not want to bother with a 4G dongle or tethering to the phone. Battery life is quite good and on light workload, we easily completed all the day’s work on it. The CompBook Netizen features a full-HD display, which makes images and text appear sharp on the 14-inch panel.

Inbuilt storage is 64 GB which is better. The CompBook Netizen 4G has a compartment on the bottom where you can install a 2.5-inch SSD or hard drive. A few things where it lags behind other competing devices are its CPU power and its build quality.

Intel Celeron N3350 processor was used in this laptop which is quite old. Its single and multi-core performance is also not good, due to which file compression and video encoding takes more time. The plastic body does not seem very strong nor does it look premium. This laptop is available in India for Rs 14,990. In this range, Asus provides better looking laptops.

This is how we chose these best budget laptops under Rs 20,000

Our main criteria in this segment was that the laptop should have Windows 10 pre-installed. There are many options that come with just DOS or free Linux that are sold at lower prices. Such laptops may prove to be a better option for you only if you have already purchased a Windows license or are comfortable with Linux for general web browsing and such tasks.

Secondly, we have ignored older laptop models that come with weak and old CPUs. This allows us to limit our search. You can’t expect an Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen CPU in the sub-Rs 20,000 price segment. In this segment you will find only laptops equipped with Intel Pentium or Celeron CPU.

We’ve ignored laptops based on Intel’s older Atom X5 series and AMD E2 and A-series APUs, as these are now quite outdated. The Intel Pentium Silver N5000 is a good CPU. This is new and also reduces power consumption. It comes with DDR4 memory support.

Generally only Pentium N3xxx series laptops are available in this price segment. It is a bit old so in some models you will get only four cores. Intel Celeron processors are not as powerful as the Pentium series. The Celeron N4000 is a new CPU but it only has two cores.

We have focused on laptop models that are available on online e-commerce sites so that customers can easily purchase them if they wish. Most of these models should also be available at offline retail stores in India if you are hesitant about buying a laptop online.

One thing you should know is that laptop prices keep fluctuating. In such a situation, there may be a slight increase in the price of laptops in our list which are around Rs 20,000.

Asus VivoBook

The VivoBook X540MA laptop is based on Intel Celeron N4000 CPU and comes with 4GB RAM and 500GB hard drive. This laptop has a good selection of USB ports, although they are all placed too close to each other. In such a situation, if you are using a USB device with a plug that is wider than normal, it may block the adjacent port.

You get a DVD drive in this model, making it useful for you when you need to take backups. This laptop is a bit heavy. The plastic and color scheme give it a slightly cheap look. Performance is also slow, viewing angles of the HD display are also weak. Its battery life is also not good and there are many better options available for around Rs 18,990.

Asus E203N

This laptop of Asus brand now Rs 12,990 Available in. It uses the older Intel Celeron N3350 CPU, but its compact size may appeal to most people. Not only is it thin and light, it also has a USB Type-C port which is not seen in this segment. The 11.6-inch display isn’t huge, but at least the HD resolution isn’t too low at this size.

The biggest problem is the storage of the laptop. Only 2GB DDR3 RAM and 32GB eMMC flash memory is not enough for Windows and your applications. Windows boot is fast but we couldn’t run many things during testing because of storage issues. If you’re going to use web-based apps or do most of your work in a browser, this shouldn’t be a big problem for you. Asus E203N has a microSD card slot with the help of which you can increase the storage if needed.

HP Notebook 15-Bs589TU

At the time of writing this article, the price of HP Notebook 15-BS589TU was around Rs 19,789. We were not able to test this laptop but at this price you will get Intel Pentium N3710 quad-core CPU, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, DVD writer, three USB ports, HDMI and LAN port in this laptop. It comes with HD webcam and 41WHr battery.

iBall Compbook Premio v2.0

CompBook Premio Version2.0 It has a strong Intel Pentium N4200 CPU and comes with 4 GB RAM. It’s light and portable, plus it comes with Windows 10. Its battery life is also good. it Rs 17,235 Available in the US, 32GB of onboard flash storage is too little for applications and files. As we mentioned in our review, we found that the plastic body bends easily. The display panel is also not very good. On the other hand, battery life is quite good.

iBall Compbook Marvel 6

iBall Compbook Marvel 6 price of Rs 11,990 Is around. At this price you get full-HD 14-inch display, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Storage can be a problem for you if you store many files.

The CPU is good for basic tasks but still a bit weak compared to other options. The body and trackpad aren’t sturdy, but there is a compartment on the bottom of this laptop where you can add a 2.5-inch hard drive. Like CompBook Premio Version 2.0, its battery life is also good.

Vivo y17 Plastic has been used to make smartphones. The smartphone has two color variants- mineral blue and purple. We have its mineral blue variant with a gradient finish on the back panel. In the first glimpse, looking at the back part of the phone, it seems that it is made of glass but it is made of plastic. In the back of the phone, the fingers of the phone easily fall.

There are thin bezels on the side of the display, while the border in the lower part of the phone is slightly thick. The earpiece has found a place in the frame. On the right side of the phone, there is a SIM tray slot on the left side of the phone. We found that the button has been placed properly, the hand also reaches easily. The frame is slightly curved, which remains comfortable holding the phone in hand.

The 3.5 mm headphone jack, micro USB port, primary microphone and loudspeaker grill have found a place in the bottom of the phone. Other smartphones in this price segment are equipped with USB Type-C port, so you may be somewhat disappointed with micro USB port. Vivo Y17 has an AI -based triple camera setup on the back panel.

With focus on mid-range and entry level smartphones, Samsung has given the new avatar Galaxy A series instead of its existing Galaxy J series.
