1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi take the First mover advantage in India with the Launch of Redmi Note 3 that comes with high end specification at a great price. This phone is the first phone that comes with a Fingerprint Sensor under 15k range and this is one of the big reason of Redmi Note 3 huge success in India.

As you can see the specification are top notch on paper and the Redmi Note 3 never disappoints you. The Phone has a all metal uni-body that make the phone premium  in hand. The phone feels very lightweight even after having a Big Battery. The fingerprint Sensor located at the Back of the phone and performs really well. Lets talk about the cons that i don't like in this phone.
Cons:-
1. Screen Protection :- Xiaomi didn't revealed anything about the Screen protection that they have used in Redmi Note 3. This create a doubt and feeling of fear if they accidently drop their phone. Although the phone's display is Scratchless upto some extent as what i experience.
2. Camera Quality :- The 16MP Rear Camera with PDAF technology performs really well in Day light condition but in Low light condition the performance is very bad for a 16MP lens.
3. No dedicated SD Card Slot :- This Phone offers a hybrid slot that can be used as either Dual SIM or 1 SIM and External SD Card Slot but a user can use 2 SIM and SD card option at a time.

So Although there are few cons in Redmi Note 3 but excluding that the phone is undoubtedly the Beast in the Price point. You Can buy the Redmi Note 3 by clicking here

2. LeEco Le 2
LeEco is Another Chinese Internet Ecosystem company that starts manufacturing Smartphones to give tough competition to other brands. LeEco formally known as LeTV entered India with Letv Le 1s and LeTv Max and the got great response with Le 1s and Le Max as claimed  by the company that they have sold over 4 lac units. So they come with the successors of their previous models. The Launched Le 2 and Le Max 2 in Mumbai with a bang.
These phone has updated hardware that resolve all the cons of the previous model. And this time they have to compete with Redmi note 3 so LeEco is well prepared. Le 2 is the world's first phone that offer Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor. Let's talk about the specification Le 2 offers:-


                              Specification:-


Screen Size             :-        5.5 FHD 1920*1080 pixels with 403 ppi
Camera                   :-       Rear - 16MP with dual Tone Flash
                                          Front- 5MP  with f/2.0 Aperture

Price                      :-         INR 11,999 (32GB)
                                          INR 13,999 (64GB)

I am personally using this phone for more than a month and i found the Le 2 is a great phone with some cons that let the Buyers to shift to some other brand. This phone come with all metal unibody design with fingerprint sensor on the back. Phone comes with their own customised eUI based on Android v6 and some LeEco Membership worth Rs.5000 approx. Lets find out the things that i don't like in Le2:-
Cons:-
1.No 3.5mm Headphone Jack :- Yes the Le2 doesn't come with traditional 3.5mm headphone jack that make some user feel sad. They offers the CDLA enable Headphone worth Rs 2000 in their first two sale to increase their sale. We can use a USB C-Type to 3.5mm Adapter which is bundled with the phone to use our 3.5mm headphones. 
2.Poor Camera Performance :-  16MP rear camera of Le2 performs really well in day light condition but the picture quality in low light condition comes out to be bad. Although the LeEco provide regular update that make the performance better.
3.No External SD card Slot:- The LeEco Le2 don't have any slot for External SD card so the storage can be a issue for a hardcore Gamer as for a normal user 25GB(out of 32GB) should be enough.
Update:- LeEco Launch the 64GB variant now for those who finds the 32GB storage a bit less.
4.No FM:- Sadly Le2 don't offer FM radio which can be a issue for some user who love to listen radio.

So these are some and only Flaws in the Le2 except these the LeEco Le 2 perform really well. The Processor itself make the Le 2 one of the best device under 15k.

3.Motorola G4 plus
Lenovo owned Motorola launched the much awaited Moto G4 and G4 plus. These are the successor of their previous model Moto G3. Motorola need to launch a device that can compete with the existing Heros Redmi Note 3 and LeEco Le2 so they launched the Moto G4 plus first as G4 doesn't offer the Fingerprint sensor while the Redmi Note 3 and Le 2 offers Fingerprint sensor. Even after the Launch of Moto G4, I don't found the G4 a good device to buy at the price of INR12,499 which is the biggest reason of G4 failure. So without wasting any time let's talk about the Moto G4 Plus. Moto G4 plus comes with the same plastic body design with Fingerprint sensor on the Front side which I found more convenient to use but at the same time the shape of the Fingerprint sensor which is in square makes the device ugly. The Moto G4 plus come with 16MP rear camera with Laser auto focus technology that makes the camera of G4 plus best camera phone under 15k range. Let's talk about specification of Moto G4 plus:-

                                    
                                            Specification:- 
Screen Size             :-       5.5 FHD 1920*1080 pixels with 401 ppi
Camera                   :-      Rear - 16MP with Laser Auto Focus (USP of G4+)
                                          Front- 5MP  with display Fash
Battery                   :-       3000 mAh with Turbo Charging supported
Operating System  :-      Stock UI Android v6 (Upgradable to Android N) 
Processor               :-       Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 64 bit Octacore 
                                          processor with Adreno 405
RAM                      :-        3GB/2GB
Storage                   :-       32GB/16GB with dedicated SD card Slot
SIM                        :-        Dual SIM slot 
Sensors                   :-       Ambient Light Sensor, Fingerprint Sensor, 
                                          Proximity, eCompass,
                                          Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Infrared
Price                      :-         INR 14,999 ( For 3GB/32GB variant)
                                          INR 13,499 (For 2GB/32Gb variant) 
Colour Available  :-        Black and White

Motorola G4 plus offers a good (not Great) Hardware as it offers Snapdragon 617 processor while other competitors offers much higher processor at a lower price. The Camera makes the G4 plus way ahead of its competitors in Camera performance thanks to the laser auto focus technology but on the other side the phone heat up very much when we use the camera app for more than 15 minutes continuously. The phone gets freeze in that situate and heated up too. The Moto G4 plus provides a stock android experience with 1-2 moto apps, performs quite well, personally face little to no lag while multi tasking. Let's Talk about the some of the Cons:-
Cons:- 
1.Plastic Body :- The Moto G4 plus build with good quality plastic material but as the other brands provide all metal unibody design even at lower price force the buyer to think at once.
2.Processor :- The Moto G4 plus don't have the latest processor as comparison to what Redmi Note 3 and LeEco 2 offer. The Snapdragon 617 is less powerful and heat more in comparison to Snapdragon 650 and 652.
3. Price:- The Moto G4 plus price at INR 14,999 which is 3000 more than its competitors while they offer better hardware.

Except the price of the Moto G4 plus and a little lower hardware, this is one of the best smartphone under 15,000 range.

4.Samsung J7 2016 Edition
Samsung one of the most trusted Brand in India launched the successor of their Galaxy J7 which they launched in last year. Now they come up with Galaxy J7 2016 Edition with updated Hardware and Software. The earlier edition too was a game changer for Samsung so they decide to launch the updated version without changing the name much. Samsung is known for producing Quality products but priced at much higher price. But this time they keep the price of J7 2016 Edition in limits by keeping the price strategy of other brands in mind. Let's talk about the specification First:-


                                                    Specification:-
Screen Size             :-        5.5 HD Super Amoled Display 1280*720 pixels 
Camera                   :-       Rear - 13MP with LED Flash
                                          Front- 5MP  with LED Flash

Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 Edition is a good phone for a Samsung Lover and for those who wants a device with Normal Specification from a trusted Brand like Apple and Samsung. In my opinion Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 offers a crystal clear display, a good camera and good after same service. J7 2016 attract the selfie lovers as the 5MP Front camera comes with LED Flash but it works on manual mode i.e. one has to turn on the flash option to take selfie using Flash. Let's talk about the Cons of J7 2016 Edition:-
Cons:-
1.Very Few Sensor:- J7 2016 Edition don't offer too many sensors to the user that let the user to go for other available option. Every one demanding Fingerprint sensor in their device as this will enhance the security level of the Smartphone but the J7 don't have this sensor. This phone lack the Ambient light sensor and Gyroscope sensor that help to view videos is 360 degree and for auto brightness of the screen as per the light condition around.
2.Weak Hardware :- J7 2016 edition is way behind in terms of Hardware as compared to its competitors. The J7 2016 should have at least 32 GB internal storage and 3GB RAM for the price tag.
3.High Price:- J7 2016 is priced very high according to its specification when it compared to its competitors like Redmi Note 3, Le2 and Moto G4 plus.

The Samsung J7 2016 is a good buy for those who can spend a little more just to use a quality product from a trusted Brand that offers good after sale service for sure.

Note:- I only review the smartphone that has Snapdragon processors as i feel the Snapdragon process gives better performance as compared to Mediatek processor. If you still need a detailed review of the best smartphone with Mediatek processor than let me know.

Final Verdict
As all these four smartphone has their own pros and cons, So it upto you now what you like the most:- 
Performance-  LeEco Le2> Redmi Note 3> Moto G4 Plus> Samsung J7 2016
Camera- Moto G4 plus> Samsung J7 2016> LeEco Le2> Redmi Note 3
Battery Life- Redmi Note 3> Samsung J7 2016> Moto G4 Plus= LeEco Le2
Storage- Moto G4 plus> Redmi Note 3>  LeEco Le2 > Samsung J7 2016
Else everything is somehow same in all these Smartphone.
