At the entry-level price point for a smartphone, Moto C sits nicely with a tag of Rs 5,599. The phone may have specifications from the year 2013, but it has still managed to find its market given the lower price point. After being slashed by over Rs 1,500 from the original price, the Moto C brings in the basic that is required by one who uses a phone very not very often.

Going with the trend, Xiaomi has brought in the first selfie phone, the Redmi Y1. Priced at Rs 8,999 the phone is in direct competition with two of its other phones, Redmi 4 and Redmi Note 4, both who have made an entry to this list. But the phone in itself is better than good. The 16-megapixel selfie camera with a front flash is the USP of this phone.
9. Coolpad Note 3S

Another one to feature from last year is the Coolpad Note 3S. The phone still remains a good pick for a smartphone under Rs 10,000 price point. The phone has a unique look and good camera priced at Rs 9,999. The phone also has an Octa-core processor and 5.5-inch screen.
10. Yu Yureka Black

Last but not the least, the Yu Yureka Black is a good choice for a smartphone priced under Rs 10,000. The only downside being its display, the smartphone makes up for it in all the other departments, especially at this price point.
It is a competitive market under the Rs 10,000 segment and smartphone manufacturers like OnePlus or Sony gave in to the competition a long time back. OnePlus tried to have a budget smartphone for the masses with OnePlus X but the smartphone failed to even nudge the market. With entrants like Xiaomi and Coolpad and their good range of premium-looking robust phones, the tag of market leader can change with every new launch.
