It is a clean design that Honor 8 Lite sports and nails it too. Available in two colour options, this phone does not try to ‘reinvent the wheel’.

If you remember, this phone’s selling point is its display. Tested by multiple media outlets, it refuses to break unless punctured. No wonder it was Motorola’s flagship smartphone some time ago.

The Galaxy J7 Prime is the most inexpensive device in this list of best looking smartphones under 25000 rupees. However, there is still one phone left and it is the perhaps the best name to bank upon when it comes to value-for-money. This phone is…
