As said earlier, the phones on this list all pack an amazing punch so you really need to know what you want before making a choice. A word of advice: a lot of you might choose to fall for the EMI offers that are sold by your credit card company. My advice: don’t. On a credit card, the EMI feature ends up adding an unnecessary interest which makes your smartphone more expensive. Besides, the EMI option is pointless as the whole transaction amount is anyway blocked on your credit limit. What’s worse is that you need to pay interest even if you decide to make a pre-payment during the tenure of the EMI. Therefore the best thing to do is, if paying by credit card, charge the whole amount to your card and make disciplined payments over 3-4 months to pay it off. It’ll help you avoid unnecessary interest and keep the cost of your smartphone low and affordable. I hope this list of best smartphones under ₹30,000 helps you in making your important decision. Do let me know in the comments section what phone you choose to buy from this list and what features helped you make the decision to purchase it.
