Not too long ago, it was difficult to find good Android phones under a budget of less than Rs 5000. But thanks to manufacturers like Lenovo and Micromax, who have upped the ante when it comes to offering value-for-money smartphones for as low as 5000 rupees, consumers can now buying cheap phones that can perform basic tasks like calls, messages, Whatsapp and even capture a couple of good photographs.
