Best Mobile Phone under 10K to 15K

The mid-range 5G smartphone market in 2025 is buzzing with powerful options that don’t break the bank. Four new contenders — the Samsung Galaxy M36 5G, Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 SE 5G, iQOO Z10x, and OPPO K13x 5G — offer a solid mix of performance, features, and future-proofing.

Samsung Galaxy M36 5G leads with its promise of 6 years of Android updates — unheard of in this segment. It features a 6.7″ Super AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and One UI 7 based on Android 15, making it ideal for users focused on long-term support and a clean user experience.
