Finding best smartphone is very hard especially if you don't have any knowledge about it. You have to be practical and choose the best choices to avoid regrets at the end. But first what you need to look for finding best smartphone even though you have a small budget.
Storage - Big storage is equal to more stuffs you can store in your phone. If you love taking photos and videos then you need phone with atleast 64 GB of internal storage. Even 128 GB is really common for low price right now so you can also go with that.
RAM - if you're a heavy gamer or you always do multitasking, I really recommend you to choose atleast 6 GB of ram. The higher the RAM the more apps you can run in background and the easier it is to handle heavy games. Well if you are just a typical user and low to medium games is already enough for you then go for 3-4 GB of RAM.
Processor - there are 3 known processors in android right now. It is Snapdragon, Mediatek and Kirin. They have their own strengths and weakness and maybe I'll make a different article about that. All of them are good though so it almost didn't matter which one you choose.
Camera - mobile photography is a thing right now. And you really want your phone to compete when it terms to camera quality. The higher the MP (Megapixel) the higher the photo/video quality.
So if you have a 10K budget for phones and you want phone recommendations, them I'm here to help you out. I will not promise you a very good phone since at that budget you can only buy entry level to midrange phones. So here it is.

If you are a gamer, I would not recommend this one. Although it can handle games with lower graphics. Its performance and durability is good but still depends on the user (don't expect that it is durable enough to withstand 3 story high drop) . This is perfect for those who loves taking pictures (VIVO are know for that). But if you are a heavy user the please skip this phone.

I'm telling you, you might really want this one. Finding AMOLED screen phone at this price range is almost impossible. The camera, storage and RAM is very powerful too. At this specs, it might actually cost more than that. But kudos to Samsung, they actually released this powerful midrange phone.

Don't be afraid if this phone don't have any google services. I even think it's a good thing since google apps are a great storage eaters. And besides you can just install some manually. And this phone's specs is actually good. The storage and display is not that bad. And the camera is really good just as expected to Huawei.

This is very impressive phone given for it price. Every specs is really good and something you can only find for higher end phone. The only negative comment I can give is the exterior design. The camera design is very old school, well at least just for me. But overall this phone is my highly recommended phone below 10K budget.

This specs is much more inferior than Poco X3. But its not actually that bad. Especially the exterior design. It looks more premium and good looking. The specs is not bad too. But I really think they should have use Snapdragon 700+ series. But overall, this phone is good too.
