Top budget smartphones with big batteries in India

[sincity]

A decent battery is the root of any smartphone worth its salt. It ensures that you can get the most out of your phone during any point of the day, without worrying about battery drain. More importantly, it's the underlying factor behind whether or not you can listen to tunes on your device when you're on your way home after a long day at work.

Quite a few phones that go all out with their features forget to back it up with a sizeable battery. But, there are still ample options in the market that fall within the mid-range or budget segment. 

Keep in mind that battery size alone isn't the determining factor for a smartphone's battery life. The phone's chipset and a consumer's usage pattern also have a big part to play.

Moto E5 Plus

It may be the cheapest of the range, but the Moto E5 still packs a sizeable 5.7-inch display with a tall 18:9 aspect ratio display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, 13MP rear camera, microSD slot and a rear facing fingerprint scanner.  

More to the point, there's a big 4,000mAh battery, along with a stock Android 8.0 Oreo UI, a headphone jack and a 5MP front-facing camera. Not bad for the price, but it's definitely not without compromise.

While the device is being offered as a budget device, it does not feel cheap at all. It features a metal body with plastic bands at the top and bottom and features a fingerprint sensor at the rear.
