1.Redmi 7
Xiaomi has updated its low-cost workhorse Redmi series with the new Redmi 7. Compared to the Redmi 6, which was less than a year old, the Redmi 7 has a more powerful processor, bigger screen, and new plastic body with optional gradient designs, in keeping with current trends. This phone does seem to tick all the boxes in terms of matching or exceeding the features and specifications that other manufacturers are tempting buyers with right now. The price for the base model is very attractive, but we don't really see how the higher-priced variant, with just 1GB more RAM, makes a lot of sense.
The Redmi 7 is an all-rounder that doesn't have any one major headlining feature, but it does well at nearly everything. The 6.26-inch HD+ screen is immersive and will make media and games look good, even if it isn't the best. The 4000mAh battery is more than enough to get you through a full day. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC did very well in our tests. The cameras are serviceable, and the rear 12-megapixel primary camera impressed us in daylight shots, but low-light performance was weak. Xiaomi also continues to stuff its MIUI skin and its own apps with ads, which can get very annoying.
Overall, the Redmi 7 is a very strong device that delivers solid performance and has no deal-breaking flaws, and offers fantastic value for money.

2.Infinix Smart 3 Plus
The Infinix Smart 3 Plus is one of the most affordable phones to offer triple rear cameras, pairing it with an appealing design and an all-day battery life. The Infinix phone has premium-looking aesthetics and features a 6.21-inch HD+ (720x1520 pixels) display that renders vibrant colours and has decent viewing angles, but it is quite reflective in nature.
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Helio A22 processor paired with 2GB of RAM, but the combination is not powerful enough. The phone struggles with handling heavy apps and multitasking, and the gaming performance also leaves a lot to be desired. The face unlock feature on the phone also struggles and is quite slow at recognition.
Daylight photos captured by the phone turned out good with natural colours and decent edge detection in bokeh shots. The 8-megapixel front camera captured crisp selfies, and thankfully, it did not perform any aggressive skin smoothening. The Infinix Smart 3 Plus’ 3,500mAh battery ensured that the phone was able to sail past a day of regular usage with ease.

3.Realme C2
The C2 is a budget offering from Realme and is the successor of the Realme C1. It sports a 6.1-inch HD+ display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. It has good viewing angles and also offers the option to change the colour temperature of the display.
The Realme C2 is well designed and has a diamond-cut pattern on the back that makes it look premium. The phone is compact and feels comfortable to hold in the hand. It has a dual camera setup at the back which consists of a 13-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
Powering the smartphone is .a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC and comes in two variants- 2GB RAM with 16GB storage, and 3GB RAM with 32GB of storage. We had the 3GB RAM variant and found it to be powerful enough for day-to-day tasks but couldn't run big games smoothly.
The Realme C2 runs ColourOS 6 on top of Android 9 Pie which is the latest version of Android. We found a few apps preinstalled on the smartphone which could be uninstalled easily. Realme also offers a few useful features in the form of driving and riding modes.
Realme has packed in a 4000mAh battery which delivers very good battery life. The supplied 10W charger is also quick enough to top the battery up. The cameras on the Realme C2 deliver average performance. The phone wasn't consistent in getting the exposure right in daylight but suffered in low-light.
For the asking price of Rs. 5,999 the base variant of the Realme C2 does look impressive on paper but the variant we tested was priced at Rs. 7,999. If you are looking at the higher variant of the Realme C2, you can look at the Redmi 7 and the Nokia 5.1 Plus as the alternatives.
