Samsung’s ₹50,000-and-under lineup spans the Galaxy M and Galaxy A series — from ultra-budget picks under ₹15,000 to near-flagship Super AMOLED displays just under the ₹35,000 mark. Here’s how the current lineup breaks down, pulled directly from Samsung India’s “Best Mobiles under ₹50,000” page and each model’s own buy page.

The A36 5G is the pick if you want the closest thing to a flagship screen (Super AMOLED + 120Hz) without crossing ₹35,000. Best for anyone who spends a lot of time on video/social media and notices screen quality.

At under ₹13,000, this is less a “best under ₹50,000” pick and more proof of how far your budget stretches in Samsung’s current 5G lineup — a solid choice if ₹50,000 is your ceiling, not your target.

How We Chose These
Picks were pulled directly from Samsung India’s own “under ₹50,000” category page and each model’s individual buy page, prioritizing models Samsung itself currently features as in-stock/buyable (not older or discontinued models still indexed elsewhere on the site) — then split by what most buyers optimize for: screen quality, battery life, and raw budget.
Conclusion
If you just want one answer: the Galaxy A36 5G (from ₹33,999) is the best all-round pick under ₹50,000 — it’s the only one of the three with a Super AMOLED 120Hz display, and it still leaves ₹16,000+ of headroom under the budget cap. Pick the M47 5G instead if battery life matters more to you than screen quality, or the M17e 5G if you’d rather spend a fraction of the budget and put the rest toward accessories, a case, or savings.
