In the world of smartphones, all displays are the ‘in -thing’ in 2017! From the latest and greatest iPhone X to the Galaxy Note 8, every flagship phone out there has a tall display with an 18:9 or similar aspect ratio. But what do you do if you want to get in on the trend yet even the most affordable flagships like the One Plus 5T remain out of your wallet’s reach?
Fear not for on this list we have chosen the best 18:9 display phones that you can pick up if your budget is under Rs. 20,000.
1. Huawei Honor 7X
The Honor 7X is the little brother of the Huawei 9i and the fact that they share design similarities including an 18:9 2160*1080 panel means that both of them gain a place on our list. Powered by a Kirin 659 processor,4gigs of RAM and up to 128 gigs of internal storage, the 7X is one of the powerful devices on today’s list and can handle everything from day to day tasks to intensive games with ease. It also comes with dual cameras in the back which are quite capable shooters in their own right and do come with portrait mode, another must-have for 2017. Oh and despite that 5.93 display, battery life on the 7X is quite good.
2. Micromax Canvas Infinity
If you are on a literal shoe string budget and still want to own an 18:9 display, then the Micromax Canvas Infinity with its 5.7 inch 1440*720 screen is probably the only real choice you have especially if you’re looking for products in the sub ₹10,000 range, Underneath the Canvas Infinity is powered by a Snapdragon 425 processor clocked in at 1.4 Ghz paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, As far as cameras go the selfie shooter on this device is a 16mp snapper while the rear one is capped at 13mp. While this is a middling device in terms of raw specifications and a Redmi Note 4 at this price is better value for money, for ₹9,300 this Amazon exclusive just barely makes it onto our list!
3. Vivo V7
The Vivo V7 priced at 18,990 is the younger sibling of the Vivo V7 Plus and for the moment is a Flipkart exclusive. Although the rest of the spec list may be impressive, the Vivo disappoints in one key criterion, the display itself. Sure it is an 18:9 panel, but when a screen is stretched over 5.7 inches with a resolution of only 1440*720, the end result isn’t a very nice and crisp display. On the specs front, we have a Snapdragon 450 inside which when paired with the 4gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of internal storage shouldn’t have any trouble at all powering up this 720p screen. With a 24mp front shooter and a 16mp rear shooter this one phone, you should consider only if you are in love with high-resolution selfies.
4. Honor 9i
The bigger brother of the Honor 7X, the 9i takes up the fourth spot on this list courtesy of sharing the same internals and external design as the Honor 7x. The only difference is that the 9i comes with dual front-facing cameras so that we can get bokeh mode even on the selfies. At a price tag of just under 20k, the 9i is a brilliant all-rounder that also happens to sport a 5.9 inch 18:9 Full HD IPS panel.
5. Oppo F5
The Oppo F5 is the last phone on our list. It too comes with a 2160*1080 screen but at 6 inches it is the largest we have in our lineup today. Coupled with a 20mp selfie camera and a 16 mp rear shooter this is another one of those fans that are perfect for fans of social media and overall media consumption. The only drawback of this device is the chipset. At 19,990 sporting a MediaTek Helio P23 is almost criminal seeing how the P series chipsets have struggled with the heat and intense performance in the past.
And with that, we wrap up our top 5 picks of best phones with 18:9 displays under 20k!
