1) Lenovo Z2 Plus
The Lenovo Z2 Plus makes it to our list thanks to a comfortable-to-hold 5-inch display, good build quality on the outside, and top-of-the-line hardware within. It's one of the first phones with the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip, and a price tag of under Rs. 20, 000. Coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage, the Z2 Plus - as noted in our review - delivers excellent performance. It also manages to pack a large 3500mAh battery in its petite body, and lasts over a day with ordinary use.

The Lenovo Z2 Plus has an interesting fingerprint scanner that doubles up with customisable quick actions - like a long touch on it to pull down the notification shade, for example. The camera is the achilles heel for this phone, so if you're obsessed with great picture quality, then the Lenovo Z2 Plus probably isn't for you.

2) Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is the Korean giant's answer to the ongoing trend of premium mid-range phones. The internals are clad in a premium-looking metal body, making it appear more expensive than what it is. The 5.5-inch LCD display is quite bright and vivid, the Exynos processor coupled with 3GB of RAM resulted in no complaints in performance, and the 3300mAh battery lasted well over a day with moderate use.
