This might be year of bezel-less smartphones, but if you haven’t noticed, dual-camera phones are on the rise as well. Ever since LG and Apple started coming out with dual-camera setups last year on their flagship phones, this segment has seen a sudden surge in popularity. Fast forward a year, and other big guns in the industry like Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi and more have followed the trend by introducing smartphones with dual-camera setups. Well, if you were thinking dual-camera setups are limited to just mid and high-end smartphones, you couldn’t be more wrong. If you’re residing in India, you’ll be pleased to know that there are multiple budget options for dual-camera smartphones from reputed brands like Motorola, Xiaomi, Huawei and more. So, if you’re interested in purchasing one for yourself, here are the best dual camera phones under 15000 INR:
Best Dual Camera Phones Under 15000 INR
1. Xiaomi Mi A1
Xiaomi is the leading smartphone brand in India, and this is their first, yet flagship Android One smartphone for their huge fan base in the country. It’s also one of the best dual-camera smartphones you can buy in this price range. It packs a dual 12 MP camera setup with an f/2.2 aperture for the primary lens and an f/2.6 aperture for the secondary telephoto lens to create an artificial bokeh effect in your portrait photos. The secondary 5 MP camera also does a decent job when it comes to taking selfies with your friends.
The Android One that currently runs on the Mi A1 is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat, but it’s planned to be upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo very soon. Moving on to the display, we have a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display that offers great viewing angles. The rest of the hardware is pretty impressive as well, as the Snapdragon 625 octa-core chip and 4 GB of RAM should be able to handle any task that you throw at it. Lastly, it packs a 3080 mAh battery that should be good enough to last you through the day under moderate usage.
2. Huawei Honor 6X
In the last couple of years, Huawei has gained quite a reputation for adding some great cameras in their smartphones, and the company’s Honor 6X is no exception in that regard, as it manages to live up to its expectations. The Honor 6X boasts a dual 12 MP + 2 MP camera setup with an f/2.9 aperture for the primary lens. The secondary lens used here is a monochrome lens rather than a telephoto lens that you’ve probably noticed in several other dual-camera smartphones. The stills captured look impressive for a smartphone in this price range. The secondary 8 MP camera also does a great job at taking some sharp selfies.
The Honor 6X features a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display just like the Mi A1, so expect great viewing angles. The smartphone is powered by Huawei’s own HiSilicon Kirin 655 octa-core processor coupled with either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM to meet your multitasking demands. Lastly, the 3340 mAh battery on the Honor 6X should be good enough to last you through the day under regular usage, so we’ve got no complaints here. If you expected something even better from the company, be on the lookout for Huawei Honor 7X, which packs better hardware and camera setup in a nearly bezel-less design. It’s widely expected to be made available by the end of December.

3. Lenovo K8 Note
The Lenovo K8 Note that launched earlier this year is one of the most capable smartphones you can buy under Rs. 15,000 and its dual-camera setup is good enough to quench your thirst for photos with shallow depth of field. The K8 Note features a dual 13 MP + 5 MP camera setup with an f/1.7 aperture for the primary lens, that should be able to perform well in low-light situations. The secondary 13 MP camera which is not usually expected from a smartphone in this price range, lets you take some high resolution selfies.
As far as the display is concerned the Lenovo K8 Note features a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display, just like the other phones featured in this list, so you don’t have to worry about terrible viewing angles while viewing content. Moving on to the rest of the hardware, the smartphone is powered by the Meditek Helio X23 deca-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz along with 4 GB or 3 GB of RAM to perform nearly any task that you throw at it. That being said, what’s most impressive about the K8 Note is its 4000 mAh battery that should easily last you through the day even if you’re a heavy user.
4. Moto G5S Plus
Next on the list, we’ve got a great mid-range smartphone from Motorola, which is an incremental upgrade over the G5 Plus that launched back in April. It might cost a tad more than the 15,000 mark that we mentioned in the title, but it’s barely a difference of thousand bucks. The most noticeable change to the G5S Plus is its new dual-camera setup. That’s right, the smartphone boasts a dual-13MP camera setup with an f/2.0 aperture, that does a decent job in creating artificial bokehs for your portrait photos. The regular photos come out pretty good as long as the lighting is good. The secondary 8 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture is able to take some great selfies, but its a hit and miss under low-light situations.
The display on the Moto G5S Plus is a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS panel just like every other smartphone that has been mentioned so far in the list. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor coupled with either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM to meet your multitasking requirements. As far as the battery is concerned, we think Motorola could’ve done much better, as the 3000 mAh unit will last you through the day only under very moderate usage.
Buy from Amazon: (Rs. 15,999)
5. Micromax Evok Dual Note
Micromax might not be as popular as they once used to be in India, but their new Evok Dual Note smartphone attempts is certainly a worthy consideration, especially due to the price point. The Evok Dual Note sports dual 13 MP + 5 MP camera setup to create the bokeh effect that you’re craving for. That being said, the normal photos are quite decent for a smartphone in this price bracket. The secondary 5 MP front facing camera does a fair job in the selfie department.
The smartphone features a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display, which is great for consuming media without having to worry about viewing angles. It’s powered by the octa-core Mediatek MT6750T processor coupled with 3 GB of RAM for good multitasking performance. However, the mediocre 3000 mAh battery is barely enough to last you all day even under very moderate usage.
Buy from Flipkart: (Rs. 9,999)
6. Coolpad Cool Play 6
This is a brand that focuses on making budget smartphones for the Indian masses and the the company’s Cool Play 6 offers some decent specifications for the price that you spend on it. For starters, it packs a dual 13 MP camera setup with an f/2.0 aperture that’s good enough to imitate the “bokeh effect” on your smartphone. The secondary 8 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture lets you take some sharp selfies and groupies with your friends.
As far as the rest of the hardware is concerned, the device sports a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS screen that’s driven by the Snapdragon 653 octa-core processor. Apart from the camera, the Cool Play 6’s defining feature is the 6 GB of RAM that delivers exceptional multitasking performance, which is not expected from a smartphone at this price point. Lastly, the massive 4060 mAh battery should easily be able to provide you with an all-day battery life even under heavy usage.
Buy from Amazon: (Rs. 14,999)
7. Flipkart Billion Capture+
Flipkart is widely considered as one of India’s biggest e-commerce companies, but it looks like they’re trying to enter the highly competitive smartphone segment with the new Billion Capture+. The smartphone packs a dual 13 MP camera setup, comprising of an RGB as well as a monochrome sensor that works decent when it comes to taking portrait photos. The secondary 8 MP camera is also good enough to take some crisp selfies with your friends.
Moving on to the rest of the hardware, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor coupled with either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM for handling almost every task that you throw at it. Similar to every other phone that we’ve discussed here, the Billion Capture+ features a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display. As far as the battery life is concerned, the 3500 mAh battery should be able to provide you with an all-day battery life under moderate usage.

8. 10.or G
To be very honest with you guys, I never even knew such a brand even existed until recently, but their smartphone has actually garnered 3.5 starts from over 1,300 reviews on Amazon India. Well, even they’re offering a dual-camera setup in their smartphone. Yes, you read that right, the 10.or G packs a dual 13 MP camera setup that should be able to take some great portrait photos with shallow depth of field on a budget. The secondary camera is rated at 16 MP, which is good enough to take some high-resolution selfies and groupies with your friends.
The display on the 10.or G is a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS panel, driven by the Snapdragon 626 octa-core processor and either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM that should be able to deliver adequate multitasking performance that you’re expecting from a smartphone in this price range. That being said, the huge 4000 mAh battery should be able to provide you with enough juice throughout the day even if you’re a heavy user, so we’ve not gripe in this regard.
