Camera phones under 20000: Looking for a new smartphone that captures stunning photos without draining your wallet? Some fresh launches have made things a lot more exciting in the under ₹20,000 segment. These new phones don’t just stop at good looks, they bring impressive performance and camera features too. Whether you’re upgrading or gifting, you’ll want to see how these three recent models compare before making a move.
Realme 13 Pro
Realme 13 Pro is designed for consumers who crave a solid balance between performance and photography. It features a triple camera setup on the back with a trusted 50MP Sony sensor that is supported by two other lenses that assist in providing clean pictures and steady videos. It also supports 4K recording and is equipped with a 32MP front camera for high-quality selfies. The phone is light and relatively thin, with a vibrant 120Hz refresh AMOLED screen and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. With a Snapdragon 7s Gen2 chip, 8GB RAM (and 8GB virtual), and a 5200mAh battery, it’s a good choice for day-to-day use. At ₹21,998 on Amazon and ₹21,999 on Croma, it just crosses ₹20,000, but periodic offers may bring it below that price.
Oppo K13
Oppo K13 prioritizes battery and display with a simplified camera experience. It features a dual-camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary camera. You still have 4K video recording and a 16MP selfie camera. Its forte is a ginormous 7000mAh battery and super-fast 80W charging, which makes it an excellent choice for those requiring lengthy usage hours. It is based on Snapdragon 6 Gen4 and features 8GB RAM (with 8GB virtual) and 128GB storage. It is heavy but comfortable to handle, features a vibrant AMOLED display that is capable of a 120Hz refresh rate. The price begins at about ₹20,999 on all platforms if battery life is more important to you than camera add-ons, K13 may be a money-saving choice.
iQOO Z9s
iQOO Z9s brings performance and camera balance within a thin and light body. It’s fueled by a Dimensity 7300 chipset and has dual 50MP + 2MP rear cameras with OIS, along with 4K video recording. The selfies are taken care of by a 16MP front camera. There’s a big, clear, and colorful display with a 120Hz refresh rate. There’s also a 5500mAh battery with 44W fast charging. For all its slender appearance and robust feature list, the phone only costs ₹19,999 on Flipkart. For less than ₹20,000, this is the most well-rounded package in this series.
Final Thoughts
If camera performance is most important to you, Realme 13 Pro is hard to surpass. iQOO Z9s, by contrast, excels through its all-rounder strategy of offering a fantastic display, strong battery, and silky-smooth performance. Oppo K13 is for users who need unrivalled battery longevity in addition to a good camera. All are decent options, but your best bet is the one that you desire most on your next phone.
