Gone are the days when people didn’t care much about the quality of their phone’s display. The tiny displays of legacy phones have evolved to ones boasting 16.7M colors and high-definition, full-HD, and even quad-HD resolution. While having a display resolution of 3840×2160 pixels on a small 5-inch display makes no sense to me, I also find phones having 5-inch or larger displays with low resolution(less than 720p) to be unusable. After all, it is the display which you will be looking at all day long. So, if you are like me and don’t like using a phone having a grainy display, then this article will be very helpful to you for finding out Android HD phones under Rs. 15000.
This article will also list out only a single best Android phone from a manufacturer. To make this possible, I had to omit many phones from Lava, Micromax and Xolo. Only the latest Android HD mobiles with overall good user experience and performance have made into this list. This doesn’t mean that the other phones are bad, but are simply left out for either not having latest Android OS or having other problems in the long-term use.
Zenfone series from Asus is the latest smartphone to have taken the local market by storm. The Zenfone 5 packs an IPS LCD HD display, 2GB RAM, and runs on top of an Intel Atom chipset.

Xiaomi Mi3
First thing first, this phone doesn’t have an HD display! It has a full HD display instead. It costs just Rs. 13,999 and is available only on flipkart. It also packs amazing hardware for its price point. The most notable part of its hardware details are Snapdragon 800 chipset, 13 MP f/2.2 sensor, and 2GB RAM.
Yes, you can get so much under Rs. 14,000. So, I couldn’t resist but add it to this list of Android HD phones having sharp displays. The only shortcomings of the Mi3 are its limited stock and its non-expandable 16 GB internal memory.
So, if it available for ordering online then just go for it blindly. You can thank us later.
