-
Get the right display size
The display is the main way you interact with your phone so you can’t get that wrong. In addition to the display size, you should also look at other elements like refresh rate, peak brightness, resolution and screen build quality. Higher refresh rates are becoming quite popular with newer phones and you can now get a 90Hz or 120Hz display at midrange prices. The Realme X3 is one of the best 6 GB RAM phones under 25000 and comes with a 6.57 inch HD+ display with a butter-smooth 120 Hz display and resolution of 2400 ×1080 Pixels.

Don’t compromise on processor
If you are someone who loves to multitask and game on your phone, then the processor is something you can’t overlook. With the stiff competition in the market, getting a phone in the mid range segment with a powerful processor won’t be difficult. The Poco X3 Pro packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 Processor and has the Adreno 640 to further boost its gaming performance. In addition to the processor, phones with atleast 6GB RAM is something you should definitely be looking at in the mid-range segment which will bolster the phone performance.

Take a holistic view of the camera
While most mid-range phones will feature a triple-camera or quad-camera setup, it is very important to look at what lenses you are getting and not just the MP count. An ideal triple camera or quad camera should have either a 48MP or 64MP main camera sensor, along with at least an 8MP ultra wide lens. The Xiaomi Mi 10i is one of the best phones in the under 25000 price segment and packs an extremely capable chipset, a flagship 108MP primary camera with enhanced camera features, display with 120Hz refresh rate, 4820 mah battery, 6 GB RAM and comes with support for 5G connectivity.
-
More storage is preferable
Having a phone with good storage and expandable memory is always a boon. That’s why the Oppo F19 is one of the best phones under 25000 since it comes with a spacious 256 GB ROM which is expandable further upto 256 GB so you will never be fretting about storage hereafter.
-
Battery life matters
There are a lot of features which drain up battery life like gaming, video streaming, connectivity issues and fancy displays. That’s why a phone like the Samsung Galaxy F62 with a 7000mah battery in the mid-range segment is always advisable. Moreover this phone can double as a power-bank and can be used for charging compatible devices thanks to its reverse charging support.
-
Future proof with 5G
If you are one of those who doesn’t like to frequently upgrade their phone, then going for a 5G handset at this point would let you reap multiple benefits. Firstly a 5G handset will allow you to use a 4G sim card and seamlessly switch to 5G once the network is available in India. Secondly 5G phones are the future of technology and will offer you plentiful advantages of speed and connectivity you could never have imagined.
In the last six months, many brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo have come up with great 5G compatible devices under 25000.

Flagship premium features in mid-range
There is a perception that a majority of mid-range phones still can’t match the performance and features of premium top-tier smartphones. However this is not true. For instance the OnePlus Nord which is one of the best 6 GB phones under 25000 still offers a very comparable experience to the OnePlus 8 Pro in the premium segment. OnePlus has kept all the staples such as the AMOLED display, In-display Fingerprint sensor and Face Unlock, 30 T Warp fast charging and a big 4115 mah battery in the Nord.
Now that you have a fair idea of things to be considered during your phone purchase, you should proceed to the Bajaj Finserv online EMI Store to gain visibility to the best smartphones available out there. Once you have scrutinized multiple phones and made your pick, you can proceed with your purchase using the EMI Network card.
The scheme allows you to opt for a flexible tenor of 3 to 24 months so that you can divide the purchase cost into easy installments.
