Best Budget Smart Phone Under 15k

What if you have been told to find the best mobile phone for your mom? of course anyone would love to give her an i-phone at any time right! But what if there is a condition to it?What If you want to find it in a budget segment ? I am very much sure it will become a difficult task.
a few days ago my moms mobile suddenly crashed. it stopped working, completely dead.and when mom found out about it I saw her expression it was dead too.
My mom is not a social media user but she is very fond of using Whatsapp App for video calls . She enjoys talking on video calls a lot. Well I want to mention here these video calls are much more important than our Zoom calls and meetings because these video calls are the center of the family gossiping. Now you can imagine why her facial expression was dead!
Whenever she gets ready to go out for functions she never misses the chance to take her selfie.she loves sharing photos with her daughter, sisters and her niece. sometimes she makes my dad a photographer. Just imagine the retired man who had never thought of posing in front of a camera nowdays taking pictures of his wife for an hour.
Passing a day without a phone was challenging for her. She looked at me in a hope to get the new mobile phone for her as soon as possible.
I was not prepared for this sudden expense but somehow I had to manage it and then I decided to search for a new budget phone.
Well if you are also facing the same situation and looking for a budget phone then you are at the right place.I have already spent a lot of time to find these budget mobile phones. I am excited  to share my experience so that you can save your time and efforts finding it.
First of all, before searching the mobile phone I was very much clear in my mind what kinda specification I must look for. It helped me to cut down unwanted options.

My List Of Specifications :

  1. Camera: to take selfies and video calls
  2. Full HD or Amoled Big screen: Mom regularly watches YouTube content. watches films occasionally on Prime.
  3. Battery backup: Long battery backup helps while traveling also mom sometimes forgets to keep it on charging.
  4. 3.5 mm jack: Mom hates new types of earbuds. She is only comfortable with wired headphones.
  5. Storage capacity: Obviously to store a lot of photographs and videos.

Other Important Specifications :

  3. 5G Connectivity
  4. Fast charger

In the Market, there are several phones available which are coming in the range of 10k- 15k rupees which we consider under the budget segment. Brands like Redmi, Vivo, Real Me, Motorola, Samsung M series, Poco, and Iqoo are the main players in this segment.
but among all, I found the IQOO and POCO are the most value-added promising brands.
Which provide budget phones with power-packed specifications and features.
