7. Nokia 3:
India’s favourite phone brand – Nokia is finally back in the form which everyone desperately wanted to see, they are
back with new Android smartphones. Nokia has licensed its brand name to HMD Global, which is making smartphones in tight partnership with the company. Good thing is, the company has made it clear to put more focus on overall user experience in terms of build quality, battery life, after sales support, software updates, etc. rather than building up on just specs sheet. Talking about the Nokia 3, it is Nokia’s cheapest Android smartphone…

8. Micromax Yu Yureka Black:
After a big break, Micromax’s subsidiary YU Televentures has
launched a new phone with good specs at a very competitive price which reminds us of the company’s initial years where it has seen success with its Yureka, Yureka Plus and Yuphoria phones.

Overall, the Yu Yureka Black is a good looking all round phone and when you particularly look at its price, it is impressive. But when you compare it with its main competitors Redmi 4 and Lenovo K6 Power, it doesn’t outpass them and when you are competing with such popular and reliable phones, it becomes necessary to be much better than them to become a good buying choice, that’s not the case here. Still, it is a good 5 inches phone and you can go with it if you like it.
