Best Mobile Phones Under ₹60,000 in India

What decides it at this price

Sixty thousand rupees buys either a current near-flagship or a previous-year flagship at a reduced price, and the second is often the better phone for the money. Last year’s flagship usually has the stronger camera system and build; this year’s near-flagship has a newer chip and longer update support remaining. Count the years of updates left on each rather than the launch date.

A telephoto camera with real optical zoom is close to standard here, and it is the camera that most changes what a phone can photograph — portraits without distortion, and distant subjects that would otherwise be a crop. Compare the telephoto’s sensor and stabilisation, not just its zoom number.

Water and dust resistance at IP68, a glass or metal frame and wireless charging are expected at this price. If a phone here is missing one of them, it should be noticeably cheaper or noticeably better at something else.

We list 16 phones under ₹60,000, from ₹35,699 — 15% of the 107 phones we track. Redmi accounts for the most of them with 5, across 7 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.
