4. Vivo T1 (8GB, 128GB)
Vivo T1 is the first phone of the newly launched Vivo T series. The attractive features and the price range are designed to draw Gen Z buyers towards it. A full HD display of 6.58in, 120Hz refresh rate, and panda glass protection make the display one of the best in the sub-20k range.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC powers the Android 12 OS with a light touch of Funtouch OS. While good battery life with a 5000 mAh battery, and expandable storage using a microSD card slot may seem attractive, one might stop to reconsider his/her choice due to the pre-installed bloatware apps and slow 18W charging.
The Vivo T1 sports a 50MP+2MP+2MP triple-camera setup, with good photos in daylight. Video performance wasn’t stabilized, and low-light camera performance was stringently average. Priced at ₹15,990, this phone might seem a good choice for those who want to get an above-average phone under 20k.

Realme Mobile Phones Under 20000
6. Realme 8s 5G (6GB, 128GB)
Looking at one of the leading brands when it comes to budget phones, the Realme 8s 5G is certainly worth checking out with its MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G processor, dedicated microSD card slot, and expandable RAM. Similar in looks to Realme 8 5G, it dons on a fashionable look with a 6.5in display with thin bezels on the sides. However, the camera setup protrudes slightly more than it should, which causes the phone to stay unsteadily when placed on a flat surface.
A 5000mAh battery along with the 33W Dart charger (supplied with the phone) charges the phone quite quickly, going up to 94% in 1 hour. A 100% battery lasts around one day of light to medium usage in Realme 8s 5G. A triple camera setup of 64MP+2MP+2MP provides pretty good photos in daylight. The lack of an ultra-wide-angle camera is made up for by the average low-light camera performance.
Final Score – 8.3/10
