OPPO A3X 5G

The 120 Hz display makes scrolling and everyday navigation feel smoother than most phones at this price. It gives the phone a more responsive feel in messaging, browsing and social apps.

Peak brightness of 1000 nits helps the screen stay readable outdoors. That is a real advantage if you use your phone while travelling or in daylight.

The 5100 mAh battery is paired with 45W charging, so top-ups are much quicker than usual in this budget. It is easier to get back to a usable charge in a short break.

5G is still uncommon at this price, so getting it here adds useful future-proofing. If your area has 5G coverage, downloads and streaming can feel quicker.

With 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security updates, it should stay safer and feel current for longer than many basic budget phones.

The 8 MP main camera is a clear step down from what many buyers now expect under ₹10,000. It is best kept for simple daylight shots rather than detailed photos.

The 5 MP front camera is fine for video calls, but selfies will look soft and less detailed. It is not a strong choice if front camera quality matters to you.

eMMC storage is slower than the faster storage used in better budget phones. App installs, updates and opening heavier apps can take longer.
