Best Mobile Phones Under ₹50,000 in India

80 compared·₹7,118 to ₹49,999·Checked

What decides it at this price

Fifty thousand buys a near-flagship, and at this price the comparison worth making is not between phones but between a new near-flagship and last year’s flagship, which often sells for the same money after a price cut. The older phone usually has the better camera and build; the newer one has a longer update window still ahead of it. Count the years of updates left rather than the years since launch — that is the number that decides which is the better buy.

We list 80 phones under ₹50,000, from ₹7,118 — 75% of the 107 phones we track. Samsung accounts for the most of them with 19, across 13 brands in all. Every price was read from the shop's own page and carries the date it was checked, and the order on this page is cheapest first.

01

How many phones are there under ₹50,000?

80 on this page, each one priced from the shop’s own listing rather than from a brochure. The cheapest sits at ₹7,118 and the dearest at ₹49,999, and the list is rebuilt from the current prices every time the page is served.

02

Which brands sell phones under ₹50,000?

Samsung, POCO, Redmi and OnePlus between them account for most of what qualifies here. The page lists whatever the catalogue holds at this price, so a brand appears when it has something in the band and disappears when it does not.

03

Is the price on this page the price I will pay?

It is the lowest price we read on a shop’s own page, with any card offer worked out separately and its terms shown beside it. What you pay is whatever the retailer shows at checkout, so confirm there — a price can move between our reading it and your opening the page.

04

Which of these phones under ₹50,000 is the cheapest?

The Lava Bold N4 Lite (Ghost Silver, 3GB RAM, 32GB Storage), at ₹7,118 at Amazon India. That is the lowest price a shop we check is asking today for any of the 80 on this page.

05

Which of these phones under ₹50,000 scores highest?

The Redmi Turbo 5 (8GB + 256GB) Asphalt Black, at 83/100 for ₹40,999. The score is worked out from its specification sheet and price against similar products.
