Asus Zenphone 2 ZE551ML – 21,999 Rupees
Asus really upped its Smartphone game with the launch of the first generation of its Zen phones. Now we have the Zenphone 2 line-up in the market and it's creating a lot of buzz for mostly the right reasons. Zenphone 2 created a name for itself when it was launched as the first Smartphone with 4GB of RAM. Let’s see if that creates a difference. The line-up consists of 4 different models, of which the model under review is top of the line.
The device has a decent to average build quality for the price group, but the curved back helps in minimizing the feeling of holding a large phone. The strong point for this phone is obviously the performance, and it can take anything you throw at it. At one point there were more than 20 applications including games running in the background and the phone performed absolutely stutter free.
The camera quality is not good enough for this price range and needs to improve. The Zen UI on top of Android Lollipop is bundled with lots of ASUS apps which do not make sense and demand frequent updates.
Major Specifications:
- The Zenphone 2 (ZE551ML) boasts of some of the specs never-before-seen with any Smartphone. It is powered by a quad-core 2.3 GHz Intel Atom processor and is accompanies by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in memory.
- The screen is a standard issue full HD 5.5” IPS display, and camera units come with 13MP for the rear and 5MP for the front.
- The phone is powered by a 3000 mAh battery and is supported by fast charging.
HTC One M8 Eye - 23899 Rupees
HTC is a manufacturer that has successfully risen to the status of a premium mobile phone manufacturer in India. Having an HTC mobile phone is almost equivalent to having an apple product in India, amongst the teenagers now. With a ton of specifications, while Samsung is regarded as the rival for Apple, HTC can be considered to be the mirror for Apple in the Android Smartphone series.
Talking about the HTC One M8 Eye, this is a Smartphone that has been launched under the HTC one flagship. The One series also contains A9, M9, A7, etc, and the M8 is the latest. When compared to other Smartphone manufacturers in India, the M8 Eye seems to have lesser specifications for its price range. Hence, this can be regarded as the no. 1 con for this device.
The pros for this device include, a 5 inch Full HD touch screen that gives a very good pixel density and hence a really good picture and video quality for a small screen, a metallic body that feels good in the hand, and some cool features on the HTC EyeTM experience that allow you to launch the camera with Motion Launch Snap. The cons on this device as mentioned earlier, are the lower specifications compared to other Smartphones in the same price range.
Major Specifications:
- 13 MP rear camera with dual LED flash
- 5 MP front camera
- 5 inch Full HD screen
- 2 GB RAM coupled with 16 GB of internal storage
- 2600mAh battery
If you are not too much of a brand conscious person, we would suggest you go for some other Smartphones in the same price range.

Sony Xperia M5 Dual –24,999 Rupees
Sony has been making Smartphones for as long as Smartphones have existed but still hasn’t really achieved the success which is expected from a big experienced brand. Their latest offering is the Xperia M5 Dual. The device is similar in looks to the flagship Z series and carries the Sony Omnibalance design language.
The device is built well in typical Sony fashion, even though the design feels a little dated and simple now. It comes with IP68 ratings which means it is dust and waterproof to some degree. The processor has tuned well with the OS, and the phone performs admirably for most of the time. But the standout performance comes from the camera units, with the front selfie camera easily one of the best in this class.
Honestly, the battery life on the phone is decent at best and could do a bit better. The screen is also not up to the best in this category.
Major Specifications:
- The device is powered by Mediatek’s top of the line octa-core MT6795 Helio X10 processor, which runs at a maximum 2 GHz.
- This is coupled with 3GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded using micro SD card.
- The screen is full HD 5” display, and the camera units pack a 21 MP sensor for the rear and a 13 MP sensor for the front.
- The device is powered by a 2600 mAh battery.
It’s certainly a breath of fresh air from the Sony camp, and at this price seems to be quite a good deal.
Xiaomi Mi5 –24,999 Rupees
Xiaomi has established itself as one of the best Smartphone makers in the world. Their latest flagship handset Mi5 bears testimony to the same. Launched recently and available very exclusively, this phone can give the best a run for their money.
Last but not the least on this list of the best android phones below 25000 rupees, Mi5 has a great design and build quality which counters more expensive flagships like the S7. It is sleek and lightweight and is comfortable to hold thanks to curved edges and corners all around. The device packs in the great performance, and the Mi UI is zippy and fast throughout. The camera performance from the rear unit is extremely good and is commendable even in low light scenarios. The front camera (even though with small sensor size) takes some great selfies. The dual SIM 4G lets you handle two numbers simultaneously and the call quality is also good.
All in all, there is not much wrong with this phone. The screen is probably the weak link on this phone and does not quite really match up with the competition.
Major Specifications:
- It comes loaded with the Snapdragon 820, which is arguably the best processor available in the world.
- It has 4GB of RAM and 32 GB memory to accompany the processor.
- The screen is a full HD 5.15” IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for protection.
- The camera sensor for the rear has 16MP and the front has 4MP with enlarged pixel sensors.
This handset is a winner from the stable of Xiaomi and should provide some really stiff competition to the likes of Samsung S7 and LG G5.
