Whether you are looking for a cheap back-up phone, an affordable second handset, a first phone to gift to a young user, or a senior citizen’s replacement device, Amazon’s Great Freedom Festival Sale that runs from August 6 to 11 offers a plethora of smartphone options from diverse brands.

Budget phones are affordable but also come with workable storage options and decent cameras. While they may not be suited to hard-core gamers or those who stream content for hours on end, they fulfill the needs of casual users who want to simply place audio/video calls, use the internet easily, and take pictures or videos.

On the flip side, budget phones may not be supported with OS and security upgrades for very many years. Adding to this, more tech-savvy users may find themselves requiring advanced chipsets or a greater storage capacity after a short interval. The phones’ cooling capabilities may also not be as advanced as more premium models.

Taking all these factors into consideration, here are some smartphones that are available for less than ₹10,000 during the Amazon Great Freedom Festival Sale.

When you are buying the device, check to see if any exchange offers or bank/coupon offers can help you bring down the price even further.
