Best phones under Rs 20,000 (July 2022): iQOO Z5 5G, Poco X4 Pro 5G to Motorola G71 5G

Choosing five smartphones under Rs 20,000 was a tough job this time. These days you have a barrage of handsets powered by the Snapdragon 695 chip, and we really had to deliberate about which ones to include and which to leave out. We decided to offer a diverse portfolio so that it caters to a broader user base.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Max

As always, we have phones with ample processing power, good cameras, high refresh rate displays, AMOLED screens, 5G compliance and more. Let’s meet the final five under 20K this month.

Best phones to buy under Rs 20,000 in India

iQOO Z5 5G
This was the easiest choice, and probably the best option in this budget currently. I don’t remember seeing the iQOO Z5 5G selling under Rs 20,000 previously, and that too before any cashbacks and credit card discounts. It offers impressive features and performance starting with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC which is a great option in this budget. You get 8 GB RAM and 128 GB UFS 3.1 internal storage to go with it. The phone has a 6.67-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with 120 Hz refresh rate. 

iQOO Z5 5G

Battery capacity stands at 5000 mAh with a 44W fast charger that promises to recharge 50% of it in just 23 minutes. Photography is handled by three cameras at the back consisting of a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide snapper and a 2MP macro camera. You also get a more than decent 16MP selfie camera. The iQOO Z5 5G runs Android 11 with FunTouch UI 12, and the company promises two major Android updates going ahead.

Poco X4 Pro 5G
Poco X4 Pro 5G retains its place in our list thanks to its impressive feature set. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, and is accompanied by 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. This phone too has a 6.67-inch Full HD+ screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, but you get a Super AMOLED display here with a peak brightness of 1200 nits. The screen is protected against scratches by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Poco-X4-Pro

The camera setup on the Poco X4 Pro 5G is quite similar too, comprising a 64MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide snapper and a 2MP macro camera at the back. The 16MP front camera located in a punch-hole at the top of the screen is good enough for selfies and video calls. Its 5000 mAh battery lasts over a day and a half of moderate use, and the bundled 67W fast charger promises to juice it up fully in less than 45 minutes. The phone runs Android 11 with MIUI 13 on top.

Motorola G71 5G
The Motorola G71 5G is the second of the two phones with a Snapdragon 695 chip that we have included in this list. And you get 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage with it. It is an ideal choice for those looking for a near stock Android UI. The phone runs Android 11. The rest of the features aren’t bad either. You get a sharp 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display, but the refresh rate is limited to 60 Hz. Its IP52 rated dust and splash resistant design adds an extra layer of sturdiness. 

Moto-G71

The photography department on the Motorola G71 is helmed by a 50MP primary camera. Giving it company are an 8MP ultrawide shooter and a 2MP macro camera. Its 16MP front camera does a good job with selfies and video calls. This phone too has a 5000 mAh battery that keeps it powered for close to a day and a half of moderate use, and is accompanied by a 33W fast charger. The phone is currently available for a significantly lower price as compared to a couple of months ago.

Samsung Galaxy F23 5G 
Samsung occasionally slips in a well-rounded budget phone that ticks a lot of boxes. The Samsung Galaxy F23 5G is one of those. It is a very good option for the brand conscious buyers in this budget. This is the only phone in the list to offer Android 12 out of the box, and you get the company’s new One UI 4.1 on top. This smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC, and its 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal (expandable) storage variant is comfortably available in this budget with a few thousands to spare. 

Samsung-F23-5G

This handset has a 6.6-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The photography department at the back is quite similar to that of the Motorola G71 with a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter and a 2MP macro camera. The Samsung Galaxy F23 5G has a modest 8MP selfie camera that gets the job done. The battery backup is similar to most phones here with a 5000 mAh battery keeping it running for a day and a half of moderate use. It supports 25W fast charging.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Max
We decided to give the last slot to a slightly older phone that is still a great option at its current selling price. The Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is the only phone in this list to flaunt a 108MP camera. The support cast consists of an 8MP ultra-wide camera, 5MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor at the back. A 16MP front camera is adept at handling selfies and video calls. The camera performance is quite impressive for the segment. The phone runs Android 11 with MIUI 12. It lacks 5G but more than makes up in other departments.

Redmi Note 10 Pro Max

The phone sports a 6.67-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a rated peak brightness of 1200 nits and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection against scratches. The screen is HDR10 compliant and has a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, and you get 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal expandable storage. It has a 5020 mAh battery that lasts over a day and a half of moderate use. A 33W fast charger is included in the bundle.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
