Is a ₹10,000 5G Phone Actually Worth It?

Summary

In today's market reality, a 5G phone priced around ₹10,000, specifically the HMD Wib 2 5G, has become a surprisingly good option, despite initial reservations. Launched at ₹199 with an offer, it's available for approximately ₹9,500, though the pricing has been subject to frequent changes. This price point was previously a challenge for finding quality phones, with many advertised models either disappearing or increasing in cost. The HMD Wib 2 5G, manufactured by PGT Electronics and made in India, comes with a transparent back cover and an 18W fast charger, which is neither extremely fast nor slow. It features a substantial 6000 mAh battery, meaning charging will take a considerable amount of time. The phone's design is considered good for its price, with a full plastic build and a somewhat thin back panel. The camera layout on the back bears a slight resemblance to iPhone designs.
