Features to be considered before buying phones under Rs 40,000
40,000 is a tremendous amount of money to spend on the smartphone: the decision should be taken wisely. The smartphone under Rs 40,000 offers almost all the features available in high-end devices except for the flagship processor.
Refresh rate and display
Look for the high refresh rate screen with FHD+, 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a screen size of around 6.4 inches.
Camera
A high-resolution camera setup with good design is preferable. The camera should be multi-functional, including ultra-wide camera and macro lenses. If you mostly rely on the video, do not forget to check the video’s resolution of at least 1080p.
Battery
Long battery life with at least 4,500 mAh with fast charging is a must.
RAM and Storage
The minimum storage of 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage is something you should get. And if you have to store large files, you can go for higher storage.
Processor
The flagship processor in this price segment is rare. So, you can check the benchmark of the performance before choosing the phone.
Security
Most of the brands offer fingerprint sensors in this range of the phone. And the placement also depends upon the display used. However, the side-mounted fingerprint sensor is also quite popular in this range of smartphones.
