While some companies have introduced new smartphones in the budget categories, others have dropped the prices of their smartphones to bring them into the list of smartphones under Rs. 10,000. From Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro to Realme C1, here are the top 5 smartphones that you can consider buying in January 2019.
