Check the Best 5G Phones Under ₹12,000 rate updated today on Latest Price List India along with variant-wise prices, EMI options, and full specifications. Prices in this article are as listed on Gadgets 360 and Smartprix as of 26 Oct 2026 and may vary by variant and sale.
This list covers nine models that appeared on aggregator lists dated 26 October 2026 at prices under ₹12,000. It was built by filtering the Gadgets 360 under-₹15,000 list to models under ₹12,000, because the dedicated Smartprix under-₹12,000 page is dominated by upcoming and rumoured models, which were excluded. Two headlined models now show re-checked figures above the ₹12,000 ceiling, and that is flagged openly below.

Model Notes
Vivo Y19 5G
The Vivo Y19 5G is the lowest-priced model in this list, with Beebom showing ₹10,491 and ₹10,499 across its listings against the original Gadgets 360 figure of ₹10,499. The two figures are effectively the same price with an ₹8 listing difference, so the table keeps the narrow range rather than picking one end.
iQOO Z10 Lite 5G
The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G carries the largest price conflict in this list: the Gadgets 360 list figure was ₹10,823, but the Gadgets 360 product page checked on 26 October 2026 starts at ₹16,563, and Beebom lists ₹16,999. The re-checked figures sit well above the ₹12,000 ceiling, so buyers should treat this model as a variant-dependent entry and confirm the price for the exact variant before buying.
Realme P3x 5G
The Realme P3x 5G was listed at ₹11,749 on Gadgets 360, but the re-check on 26 October 2026 found Gadgets 360 starting at ₹12,999, and the Flipkart listing for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant also showed ₹12,999. That re-checked figure crosses the ₹12,000 ceiling, so the range is kept and the variant should be confirmed at checkout.
Poco C81x
The Poco C81x is listed at ₹10,599 on the Gadgets 360 list dated 26 October 2026. It is one of the models in this list that was not among the three headlined re-checks, so its price stays labelled as aggregator-listed as of that date.
Samsung Galaxy A06 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A06 5G is listed at ₹11,414 on Gadgets 360 as of 26 October 2026. It sits in the middle of this list on price, between the Vivo Y19 5G at the low end and the Lava models at ₹11,999.
Infinix Note 50X 5G
The Infinix Note 50X 5G is listed at ₹11,499 on Gadgets 360 as of 26 October 2026. Note that this is the base listed price from the under-₹15,000 list; it is a different question from the 8GB-variant price, which is dealt with separately in the 8GB RAM list.
Lava Bold 5G
The Lava Bold 5G is listed at ₹11,999 on Gadgets 360 as of 26 October 2026, exactly at the top of this list’s price band. It shares that price point with the Lava Shark 2 5G and the Realme 12X.
Lava Shark 2 5G
The Lava Shark 2 5G is listed at ₹11,999 on Gadgets 360 as of 26 October 2026. Like the Lava Bold 5G, it sits at the ceiling of this list, so any variant or sale change could move it above ₹12,000.
Realme 12X
The Realme 12X is listed at ₹11,999 on the Smartprix 10,000–12,000 list dated 26 October 2026. It is the only model in this list whose figure comes from Smartprix rather than the Gadgets 360 under-₹15,000 list.

EMI & Exchange Estimate
EMI figures below are calculated on the list’s lowest price of ₹10,491. The formula is: ₹10,491 ÷ 6 = ₹1,749 per month for 6 months, and ₹10,491 ÷ 12 = ₹874 per month for 12 months. These figures are approximate — actual EMI depends on bank interest.
Exchange: no exchange amount is quoted here, because the exchange value depends on the old device and its condition, and on the retailer’s current exchange offer. It can only be worked out after the old device is assessed.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- The list starts at ₹10,491, so the entry point sits comfortably under ₹11,000 on the lowest listed figure.
- Two of the headlined models carry 6000mAh batteries, which is a notable battery size for this price band.
- All nine models come from aggregator lists dated 26 October 2026, so the price basis is consistent across the list.
Cons
- Two headlined models show re-checked prices above the ₹12,000 ceiling, so the list’s ceiling only holds on the original listed figures, not on every re-checked figure.
- The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G range spans ₹10,823 to ₹16,999, which is too wide to support a single-price claim for that model.
- This list is partial by construction, since the dedicated Smartprix under-₹12,000 page was dominated by upcoming and rumoured models that were excluded.
