Here is the list of smartphones that come with the best selfie camera in the price range of under Rs. 20,000 available in the Indian market.

Smartphone users are using selfie cameras much more than before. Smartphone makers also catch up with this trend by releasing many smartphones with a very good quality front camera setup. But with a limited budget of under Rs. 20,000, you may wonder which phones offer the best selfie camera for the price range. So here they are:

Smartphones with the best selfie camera in the sub-Rs. 20,000:

Vivo V11

The V11’s front display has a small water-drop notch which accommodates a 25-megapixel camera. The front selfie camera is also supported by many AI-powered features such as scene detection and portrait mode.

It is a nice all-around smartphone with a good-quality dual camera setup on the rear, a decently powerful P60 SoC and 6GB RAM. The Vivo V11 is also backed by a 3,315 mAh battery. You can also buy the Vivo V11 Pro with many improvements in terms of specs, but it comes with a higher price tag.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro

The Xiaomi smartphones on the Redmi Note 6 series are just unbeatable in the sub-Rs. 15,000 price range. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is the latest phone to feature in the series. There are a 20-megapixel f2.0 primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. And that allows the Xiaomi phone to offers users a better bokeh effect.

The Note 6 Pro also comes with decently powerful specifications, including a massive 4,000 mAh battery, a dual camera setup on the rear and a Snapdragon 636 SoC.

Xiaomi also offers another phone a high-quality selfie camera in the sub-Rs. 20,000 price range and that is the Xiaomi Mi A2 with a 20MP selfie camera with support for portrait model.

Pocophone F1

The Pocophone F1 is probably one of the smartphones that offer the best value for the money available. It‘s the only smartphone to have a powerful Snapdragon 845 SoC. On the front, there is a high-resolution 20-megapixel f2.0 selfie camera.

In low-light condition, it can still capture photos with high quality at the expense of resolution thanks to the Pixel Binning or also known as a 4-in-1 pixel. Xiaomi also adds a software-based portrait mode feature to its Pocophone F1. There is also a dual rear camera setup with a 12MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor.

Oppo F9

Oppo and Vivo are really good at making impressive selfie smartphones. The Oppo F9 not only comes with an exquisite design but also have great specs for a phone in the price range. It has a 16MP selfie camera with support for portrait mode and many beautification features. On the front, the Oppo F9 features 16MP and 2MP sensors with many features, including portrait mode.

Besides the camera, Oppo F9’s other specs include a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ display, 4GB of RAM, 3,500 mAh battery and a Helio P60 processor. If you can stretch your budget a little bit over Rs. 20,000, the Oppo F9 Pro is also a great choice as it features a 25MP front camera for a price of around Rs. 22,000.

Realme U1

The Realme U1 features not only an elegant design but also powerful specs for a phone with a low price tag of around Rs. 11,900. One of the phone’s highlight is its tiny water-drop notch in the top of the display, and that allows the phone to have a good screen-to-body ratio of 83.9 percent. Furthermore, the notch also accommodates a 25MP f2.0 front camera with support for features like Black-Light Clarity, Night Shot Brightness and, of course, portrait mode as well.

Realme also has another phone with a great quality selfie camera, and it is the Realme 2 Pro. The handset only features a 16-megapixel camera on the front, but other specs of this phone are better than the Realme U1. However, the base variant of the Realme 2 Pro is offered at Rs. 13,990 which is Rs. 2,000 higher than the Realme U1.

The Huawei Nova 3i’s price tag is Rs. 990 higher than the Rs. 20,000 threshold so we decided to add it to this list. The Nova 3i comes with a dual camera setup on both the front and back. The rear camera setup has a 16MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.

On the front, there is a combination of a 24MP sensor and a 2MP sensor along with portrait mode, various beautification effects and also scene detection. The phone also comes with a Kirin 710 SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM/64GB of storage.
