Best Mobile within 10000

I was of the opinion to take samsung J7 Prime or J7 Prime 2 & preferring samsung due to privacy & security over Xiaomi.

I also heard about Samsung J7 Max

In Vivo I have heard about Vivo y71 & y83.

Just wanted to know whether anyone is using these models & whether in samsung are they hanging which is the most common issue in samsung?

In Vivo i wanted to know whether performance is good over 2 or 3 years if anyone has used, thanks in advance!

I am using Samsung On5 Pro Galaxy and I bought it for Rs. 8000 on Amazon.com. I am very happy with it and have been using it for almost two years now. Now it costs even less now and you can even buy the next version of it within 10,000 which is On7 Pro Galaxy. The screen resolution is very good and the camera is the best. You get 13MP for the front camera and 8 MP for rear camera and picture quality is indeed very good.

Is there any hanging issue? I am currently using Redmi 2 Prime for 2 and half years & its fine.

Just wanted to upgrade to a better version & better performance as my current needs demand good storage, fingerprint & performance. 

I am considering Redmi 5, Redmi y2, Samsung J7 Prime 2

Samsung is having higher cost phones, I was thinking of taking fingerprint available one

If anybody is using Redmi 5 kindly put in your valuable feedback about its performance & battery.

I have seen Moto E4 Plus as well which looked good in terms of battery but still wasn't convincing because android is not updated & felt it was slow or may be I am not adjusted to its android version

Thanks a lot for your inputs!!!

At least until now, I have not faced any issues such as screen getting hung up or something similar. And the storage capacity is also quite good. But this is one of the lower range phones so you can check their other models such as J7 prime or J& NXT.

The only reason I am preferring j7 prime j7 prime 2 over other models is the fingerprint sensor. Finally, have known that galaxy models are good & if not hanging even after 2 years, it is a very nice phone.

But both those models are 12000 & hence I am coming back to square one to select Redmi models only, I considered Redmi Note 5 but it is having high radiation & heating issues, so dropped, hence I was wanting to know about Redmi 5. Vivo models with fingerprint are also costly with 15000 being minimum to go for it.

Moto E4 plus is the only one that I can look forward to but I have to be satisfied with its UI, only then can I go for it. Even then in that in some phones of E4 plus, they are hanging in AC. So I think it is better to stick to Redmi series, just waiting for any Redmi 5 user to share his experience.

I am using a Coolpad Note which is nearly 4 and a half years old, absolutely reliable and so far no problems or repairs. At that time I paid around Rs 9000 , since it had just been launched ,but I am sure it is available for less now...I use is for everything, whatsapp,browsing, as a camera,fitness , music storage ..

I think you should go for a MI (Redmi) with your kind of budget. You know there is nothing best or worse in this age of cut throat competition and advanced technology. I suggest you go for Redmi Note-4 with 4 G RAM, 64GB ROM 13 and 8 pix cameras and proven track record as it's been in the market for more than 6-7 months. I bought one for my wife last December (11000) and it's working fine.

I have seen Coolpad models with some un-resistable offers but backed away because it is a new company based in China, though Xiaomi is also from China.

But this comes as a surprise revelation that it is running since 4 & half years old without a problem!

Is it just Coolpad Note or Note 1,2,3...

Also how is the camera performing? Is it good to take nice snaps, if not exquisite snaps & good to take pics of documents?

Even my Father is using the same phone so I thought lets go for some other phone, but I think as you have already mentioned it is better to go on tried & tested path rather than trying to go on an uncharted path,

I think I can zero it on to Note 4, it should be a nice bet. Just now saw the processor which people were of the opinion that Snapdragon 625 processor is less efficient, but contrary to the opinions of people it is a very good processor using less battery & being more efficient even while playing highly intensive games (though I don't play).

Hopefully, I just have to decide between Coolpad, Redmi 5 & Redmi Note 4 now. Thank you both of you for your valuable insights into your experiences, advices & suggestions.

For the first time I have researched so much to buy a phone & it feels good to know about processors, battery types (Lithium & Li - Polymor), Chipset & displays, though i have not known very well about displays.

Thank you for again for your time & text!

One of my friends is using Coolpad for last 2 years and she has good feedback about it. Even I had doubts about it being from China. 

Barring a few almost all phones are made in China. The Samsung from Korea is assembled in Vietnam, China,India and 5_6 other countries. I think you can go for iPhone if you want a phone from the US. I suggest one should look at the past performance of a good company and make a decision.

The pic is beautiful. I am using Redmi Note 3 for the last two years and am extremely satisfied. Hopefully, the updated versions will be better than the one I am using.

I finally bought a Redmi Note 5 after seeing many Phones, getting help of people in Boddunan. Sticked to the comfortable zone of preferring MI as I already had Redmi 2 Prime, so did not venture into another Company's choice. Must say, the Phone is really good with battery, though Sound is low, Camera seems to be good. The big plus is the fast charging. Its a nice phone except for the bloatware & Sound.

Thank you all for your insights!

You can solve the problem of sound and undesired apps going into the settings. I think you have made the best choice in this particular price segment.

Can we remove pre installed Apps as well? This phone packs a generous deal of pre installed apps. 

Yes definitely, simply go to setting>Apps> and force stop>disable whatever apps you do not want on your phone.

Go for Redmi and Samsung Phones... I Am using both but Have no complaints with any of them

My last cell was SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO. The cell was working fine. But, the issue that came up was with it's battery. Even after charging throughout the night, the battery discharged rapidly and got exhausted within a couple of hours of usage the next day. After bearing with this complication for some days, I sold the cell and bought LAVA Z25. The new cell was worth around INR 15000.00 and I have been using the same to my satisfaction for around more than an year now.

Another issue with SAMSUNG batteries is that, it is quite difficult to find original batteries. Most batteries available in market are not original though they might come with a guarantee period of six months. Such batteries too do not last long.

Overcharging batteries is not good for any type of mobile phones, not just Samsung Galaxy  brand. So charging them for the whole night should be avoided.
