Now, if we say that this the best time for the consumers to buy good phones in a budget without spending absurd amounts for the flagships, it seems to be very much true.
If you have a budget of around Rs. 20,000, then you can find a pretty diverse set of good smartphones on offer. Nowadays Phones under 20K compete with flagships in almost all the aspects and often are better in some aspects.
Here are my picks for the best phones you can get under the price segment of 20000.
1. Redmi Note 9 Pro Max-
First of all, let's address the elephant in the room. Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, the name is pretty big but does the phone justifies the ''Max'' hype created around it, let's check it out.
The Note 9 Pro Max offers a large 6.7-inch Full HD LCD display with a punch-hole camera. It's powered by the Snapdragon 720G along with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage in the entry variant under Rs 16,499. The phone also offers a 64MP quad-camera setup. There's also another 8MP ultrawide lens, a 5MP macro lens, and another 2MP depth sensor and is loaded with hell lot of features. On the front, you get a 32MP front camera. The phone also comes with a large 5020mAh battery with 33W fast charging. And there's Gorilla Glass 5 covering the front, back as well as the camera glass. For the price, it looks good but not a worthy upgrade to Note 8 pro.

2. Samsung Galaxy M31
The Samsung Galaxy M31 is for those looking for two-days of long battery life. With a 6,000mAh battery inside, and 15W Type - C charging. The Galaxy M31 offers the longest battery life in this segment. It's powered by an efficient Exynos 9611 SoC and has a bright and compact AMOLED display with a 32MP front camera drilled into the display. It's also the first M-series smartphone to come with a 64MP quad-camera setup with Samsung offering another 8MP ultrawide sensor, a 5MP macro sensor, and another 5MP depth sensor. The only drawback with the phone is its SOC ie. Exynos 9611 now please don't get me wrong it is a good chipset but not for hardcore gaming fans.
With the price of Rs15,999, It is indeed a good package.

4. Poco X2
Everybody might be thinking where is poco in this list. So, here it is no wonder Poco is the most promising company with launching Poco F1 as its first phone in the market Poco just disrupted the market of mid-range smartphones. But wait Poco X2 is not what you think. It is not the real successor of Poco F1 but nevertheless out of features or competition.

But, the display is IPS LCD, not Amoled. There is no in-display fingerprint scanner but the power button on the right doubles as a fingerprint sensor.

The price of the phone comes at Rs 16,999 and goes up to 20,999 for the 256GB option.
