Motorola Moto G4 plus
India loves Motorola Moto series smartphone especially the Moto G and Moto E series. They have launched some great devices in the both series, and most of them were the huge success in India. The newly launched Moto G4 Plus is the 4th edition of this series and for your information let me tell you that the last three devices in this series seen huge success in India. Everyone knows the secret behind the success of Moto G series; the balance between hardware, specification, and the price (which is obviously one of the key things for Indians). Moto G series software update is also a key to the success of all the devices in the Moto G series. Now coming to the device, the Motorola Moto G4 Plus is a phone with 5.5 Inches of full HD display and with a pixel density of 401 ppi.
The device is made of plastic but gives a premium feel thatn’s to its premium polycarbonate body. It lacks metal unibody which is now common in this price range, but the phone is crafted in a way to look and feel good in the hand. Motorola also for the very first time added a fingerprint scanner to its phone with the Motorola Moto G4 Plus. The fingerprint scanner is situated right below the screen and works pretty well.
In the hardware department, the Motorola Moto G4 Plus comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor which is clocked at 1.5 GHz. The processor is coupled with 2/3 GB of RAM and 405 GPU. It has two variants i.e. 16GB Internal storage with 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage with 3GB of RAM. Every Moto G devices come with the latest Android OS of that time and to carry forward this legacy the Moto G4 Plus runs on the latest OS of the current time i.e. Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with stock Android UI. However, Moto has added some extra options in the UI like Moto Display and Moto Action.
Now let’s talk about the camera: Camera is one of the strong zones for the Motorola Moto G4 Plus. There is some excellent smartphone under 15000 in India, but regarding the camera, none of them can compete with this phone. It supports a 16MP of rear facing camera with Laser autofocus, f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, Professional mode and Dual LED flash. The camera picture quality is amazing, produce perfect color, sharpness and even performs very well in low light. At the front, it got a 5MP Camera with f/2.0 aperture for better picture quality. The combination of both front and the rear camera is one of the best cameras in this price range. The Motorola Moto G4 Plus is powered by a Non-Removeable 3,000 mAh battery which is decent for a one-day full use. This phone also supports first charging via Moto’s turbo charger.
Motorola devices are all about the user experience and the trust of the brand. Not to forget about the steady software update, a decent hardware and most importantly the price range which is perfect for Indian buyers. The combination of all these factors makes this one of the best smartphones under Rs. 15, 000 in India for the month of November 2016. One advice for all the games out there, if you are buying this phone for gaming, then this might not be the best choice for you. It gets heat easily with large games so better look for other devices like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 which I am listing below.
LeEco Le 2
LeEco is busy freezing its foot in India, and it is able to get some success especially with the LeEco Le 1s. The LeEco Le 2 is the successor to its popular Le 1s. Design wise there is some minor changes from its previous phone the Le 1s. It has same 5.5 inches full metal body which looks fantastic and gives a feel of a premium device. It supports 5.5 inches of full HD display with 403 pixels per inch which deliver a bright and vivid colors.
The LeEco Le 2 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz. The Adreno 510 GPU is taking care of graphics of this phone. The chipset and the GPU both are coupled with a 3GB RAM, which ensures a lag-free phone even while using heavy apps and games. The Le 2 is running on the latest Android v6 marshmallow on the top of EUI. Le 2 sport a 16MP camera at the back which comes with a dual-tone led flash. The camera features f/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus. The camera produces excellent pictures with decent depth and color. The camera is also capable of recording 2160p and 1080p video at 30 frames per second and 720p video at 120fps. The front camera is an 8MP shooter which also produce good quality pictures in daylight.The main attraction or the USP of this phone is its decision to ditch the 3.5 mm jack. Le 2 using the new CDLA (Continual Digital Lossless Audio) technology to deliver the audio via its USB type-C port. This new technology ensures a high-quality audio experience through the headphones. A blind experiment by NDTV shows how people like this new technology. Le 2 also ships a type-C USB to 3.5 mm jack cable along with the phone for people who wants to use their old 3.5 mm earphones.
The LeEco Le 2 comes with 32GB of internal storage with no option of expanding. 32Gb of storage is not enough especially when you have videos and movies worth GB’s. They could add either an expandable storage or a higher memory like 64GB. But we have to settle with this only, or you can use some OTG Pendrive like the Sandisk SDDDC-032G-G46 to expand storage. This is a dual SIM phone and support 4G on either SIM, but the problem is you can be active 4G on single at a time. There is a fingerprint scanner embedded right below the rear camera. That works well and easy to reach. A 3000 mAh non-removable battery is powering the device. The phone also comes with quick charging feature to charge up to 50% in 30 minutes.
LeEco Le 2 is a great device and priced for just Rs.11, 999 in India and available on Flipkart via the flash sale. A great value for money device designed to use at the extreme level. This is definitely the best phone under 15000 in India for this November 2016. A very healthy competition of this phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (32GB)
Finally Xiaomi has launched its ever waited smartphone the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 in India. The smartphone was a huge success in china and we can hope to see the same result in India too.

Its premium metallic body with excellent build quality makes it look beautiful and gives a good grip. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has 5.5 inches of full HD display with 1080 x 1920 pixels or 401 ppi resolutions. I was hoping a Corning Gorilla Glass protection, but unfortunately it doesn’t come with Gorilla Glass Protection.
This 5.5 inches smartphone is powered by a newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Processor which has 6 cores. Out of the 6 cores, 4 cores are 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 and the rest two are 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72 CPU’s which are capable to handle heavy usages easily. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 is the new processor from Snapdragon, which is built to handle heavy games and apps easily and it doesn’t heat up much. The phone comes with two variants. One is with 16GB internal storage + 2GB RAM and 32GB storage + 3GB of RAM. At the back it has a 16MP of rear facing camera which comes with bunch features like PDAF and Dual-Tone LED flash. It is capable to capture very good images. At the front it got a 5MP of front facing camera which is taking some really good selfies.
Another big feature of Redmi Note 3 is its finger print sensor which is situated at the back of the phone. It is positioned right below the camera and it is easily reachable. The fingerprint sensor of Redmi Note 3 is known as one of the fastest fingerprint scanners with a response time of just 0.3 seconds. The Redmi Note 3 also supports external storage up to 128 GB. But it has a hybrid slot which means you can either use 2nd SIM or MicroSD card at the same time. The phone runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with MIUI 7 operating system. It supports a whopping 4000 mAh of non-removable Li-Po battery. Another interesting feature of this phone is its Infrared Blaster which allows you to control electronic appliances like TV, AC, music system and other appliances.
The price in which the phone offers all the above features are even more interesting. The phone is priced for just 10, 000 for 16GB+2GB RAM variants and 12, 000 for 32GB+3GB RAM. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 got all the smart features that can beat some flagship devices easily. Even sometime it performs better than flagship devices. There is no doubt that this phone can be the best smartphone under 15000 in India for November 2016.

I personally love the phone which includes fingerprint scanner at the front of the phone, and you? Let me know in the comment section.

The Mi Max is not for everyone. This is especially for those who doesn’t mind to sacrifice the comfort for the sake of big display.

If you are one of those people who either like the larger phone or use their phone for movie, gaming and office work, then this could be the best phone below 15000 for you.
