All the graphics and texts are rendered pretty sharply. However, not having protection on this display is a big disappointment.
Camera: The 13MP+2MP rear camera of this Honor smartphone captures excellent images with excellent details. It also supports full HD recording at 30 frames per second. The low light performance of the dual camera surpasses expectation, withal.
The real beast, however, is the 8MP front-facing camera of this metal body smartphone. The Selfie camera comes with LED flash, too. Built-in features like beauty mode, voice capture, time capture, and a lot more are also present.
Gaming: The Honor 7C metal body smartphone with sufficient memory performs average when it comes to the bench-marking tests. Although this phone can run most of the games as it also comes with an Adreno 506 GPU. Games like NOVA 3 and Asphalt 8 might give some frame drops, however.

► Asus 4G Smartphone with 4000-mAh Battery {Zenfone Max M1}
One of the best 4G android phones below 8000 Rupees currently is Zenfone Max M1 from the house of Asus. The current price of this phone is 7499 Rupees. This phone with its hot specs has set a new benchmark for smartphones below 7500 Rupees. Asus Zenfone Max M1 scores well for its compact design, HD+ screen, speaker, performance, and a powerful battery. I was attracted to this phone because of its 4000-mAh battery and powerful speaker system.
The build and design of Asus Zenfone Max M1 are impressive and reminds me Samsung On6 smartphone. Hold it in hand, it feels good, well-fit, thus, secure. The gross weight of the device is only 150 grams although it holds 4000-mAh battery under its case. Thus, it is a lightweight smartphone. Moreover, its body thickness at 8.7-mm is so-so.
One of the key highlights of this 8000 Rs mobile phone is its 5.45-Inch Bezel-Less display with HD+ resolution and 18:9 Aspect Ratio. Hence, this Asus 4G smartphone is a brilliant choice if you need a compact 4G smartphone for watching movies and videos on YouTube and social media. Not to forget its speaker is loud and clear, too.
Performance and Memory management: Asus Zenfone Max M1 smartphone has been smartly designed, suggests its CPU configuration. The Snapdragon 430 is an old processor now, but still a better choice than any latest version of MediaTek processor from the same category. Thus, by trusting Snapdragon 430 Chipset, Asus not only ensures Zenfone Max M1 smartphone is fluid in use but also saved outgoing expenses it has to bear per device. 3GB RAM and Adreno 505 adequately compliments the Processor. However, you cannot play the latest version of Android Action games on this best phone below 8K with high graphics settings. You need to lower graphics settings to low to run them smoothly.
Memory management is also a pro feature of Asus Zenfone Max M1. From the 32GB internal memory, more than 20GB remains free for the end user. This mobile phone around 8000 Rupees also supports microSD card up to 256GB and USB OTG.
I had high expectation from the 13MP primary camera with LED flash and 8MP front facing camera also with a LED flash. However, their performance is not at all pleasing. Such mediocre camera management was not expected on an Asus 4G smartphone.
Should you buy Asus Zenfone Max M1? Only let down on this Asus smartphone is its mediocre camera. Also, it is not the best phone for gaming. Rest of the features such as its screen, battery, CPU, sound system, memory management, and connectivity options are mind-blowing. Its fingerprint sensor is also fast. Thus, I would not be making a mistake in my assumption if I say Asus Zenfone Max M1 is one of the best smartphones in India under 8000 Rupees.
