Cheap Android Phone Budget: 5-7k

Looking for cheap android phone for a relative

Max budget 7k, but the cheaper the better

Phone’s condition should be good.

you can get samsung and xiaomi models for around 5500-6500 new.

You can find cheaper phones under 7k but they’re not 5G. Keeping that in mind, I would recommend getting a 5G mobile, as it will serve you for at least 3-4 years. You might consider the POCO C75.

I have noticed that 5G does not work in tier 2 and tier 3 cities that well.
Especially in tier 3 and away from town centers.
Also, isn’t C75 confined to only a few networks or bands?

Yes, given this limited budget, I think this is a good option

I bought F05 for 6k for my cousin and its camera is trash, my relative currently have a realme 2 pro and it is better than the f05 in just about every regard except for battery but they dropped it and screen is broken and there might be some other issues.

So I don’t want to get them a worse phone than they currently have. At the very least it should be similar to their current phone, I can’t find anything new that is better than realme 2 pro within 8k so I looking for something used.

5g isn’t needed. Seems like a side grade at best from their realme 2 pro that I got for them 3-4 years ago for 6k. That had a really good camera for the price.

I’m looking for something like Realme 6,7,8 or Redmi note 10,11 , basically a few generation old lower-mid range phones. Or maybe oneplus 7 or mi k20 or something like that.

Oneplus 7?
