Nowadays even budget phones come packed with a host of features.
You can easily find a budget phone that can surf the Internet really quick or play N.O.V.A. Legacy without any lag! VoLTE connectivity has brought down data costs while further improving the speed. Let’s explore a little more about 4G VoLTE and some of the best 4G VoLTE smartphones in the market that come within a budget of ₹10,000.
4G VoLTE connectivity
4G provides nearly ten times faster data transfer than 3G. Further upgrades to 4G have been introduced by the name of Long Term Evolution (LTE). However, one major drawback with 4G LTE connection is loss of data connectivity during voice call. Enter, Voiceover Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE). Reliance Jio has made this name a buzzword, and rightfully so.
A phone that supports VoLTE can perform voice calls while keeping the data speed intact. It also improves the quality of video calls and has made data transfer even faster. Therefore any mobile that supports 4G VoLTE should be the optimal choice.
The basics
Before diving into the 4G VoLTE smartphones directly, let’s look at the features that will help you determine which smartphone suits your needs the most.
Processor choice. Sub-₹10,000 phones can pack processors that offer you a good value for money. You can find phones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series processors, which can run some high-end applications smoothly in addition to supporting your daily mobile activities.
So if you plan to run some strong games or apps, choose a phone that packs a Snapdragon 600 series processor (625 or higher). These processors come coupled with Adreno graphics processing units (GPUs). Snapdragon 400 series processors are slightly less powerful, yet quite capable compared to competing processors.
