It's so difficult to choose an Android phone these days. There are a wide range of handsets with distinctive features in various price points - still many of us find it tough to choose the most compelling phone. Not every time we cross check specifications of a phone, but we do compare retail price, since our concern is to save money and time.
The Motorola Moto E, which went on sale a couple of weeks back, shook the industry citing terrific hardware and affordable pricing. The success rate of the Moto E is still very strong, but these days you may find many other handsets in the same price range. It's not that the Moto E is the only handset under Rs. 7,000 price range you can think off. You can find a number of handsets running on Android 4.4 Kitkat at a price point of Rs. 6,000.

Let's not forget that over the past few months, more capable phones (in comparison to the Moto E) have managed to impress critics. For instance, the Lava Iris X1 is a superior handset with better exteriors and camera. Not surprisingly the phone fits in your budget too. Other than the Lava Iris X1, Panasonic's T41 is a nice option. Priced at Rs. 7,999, it is slightly expensive, but you don't have to worry about its internal hardware.
Similarly, Galaxy Core 2 seems to be a pleasant handset at a price of Rs. 11,900. If you think that the Core 2 is overpriced, than why don't you check out the Samsung Galaxy Star Advance. The new Galaxy Star Advance is an affordable Android Kitkat smartphone at just Rs. 7,299.
Thus, today we've prepared a list of top 5 budget Android 4.4 Kitkat smartphones you can buy in India. Take a deep look into sliders below. Happy weekend!
