Looking for a good TV without breaking the bank? Here are five budget smart TVs available in India that balance picture, smart features and price — all commonly found under ₹25,000. I’ve picked models from trusted brands and official listings so you know what to expect.
1. Thomson Phoenix 43″ QLED (43QAI1005) — ₹21,499 (launch price)
Thomson’s 43-inch Phoenix brings a 4K QLED panel, Google TV, HDR10 support and a surprisingly powerful 50W Dolby Atmos-capable sound system — a rare combo at this price point, making it a top budget pick for movie lovers.
2. TCL 43″ 4K Smart Google TV — ~₹19,990 (sale price)
TCL’s 43-inch Google TV models frequently drop under ₹20k during promotions. They offer 4K HDR, Google TV interface and good colour reproduction for the money — strong value for bedrooms and small living rooms.
3. realme 43″ Full HD / 4K Smart TV — ₹18,099–₹22,999 (varies by model)
realme’s 43-inch lineup gives buyers choices between Full-HD and 4K panels, Google/Android TV software, and lightweight performance for streaming apps — ideal when you want a branded smart UI without premium pricing. Check specific model SKUs for exact pricing.
4. Samsung 32″ T4380 (80 cm) — ₹12,000–₹19,000 (depending on retailer)
If you need a reliable brand under ₹25k and can accept a 32-inch screen, Samsung’s T4380 series is a dependable pick: Tizen smart platform, good upscaling and solid after-sales support — useful for kitchens, kids’ rooms or compact spaces.
5. Mi / Xiaomi 43″ Horizon Edition (4A) — often around ₹24,999 (deals vary)
Xiaomi’s Horizon Edition 43-inch TVs have historically been priced just under or around ₹25k during sales. Expect a bezel-slim design, Android TV/Google TV, and value-focused specs — watch for festival discounts to get the best price.
Quick buying tips for budget smart TVs
1. Prefer Google TV / Android TV for the widest app support and regular updates.
2. For rooms under 12 ft, 43 inches is the sweet spot; pick 32-inch only for very small spaces.
3. Check panel type (4K vs FHD vs HD) and sound output; budget TVs often need a soundbar for movie nights.
4. Wait for festive sales — prices drop frequently and models listed above often fall well below MRP during offers.
Bottom line:
If your focus is value, the Thomson Phoenix and TCL 43″ Google TV models stand out for features-per-rupee, while Samsung’s smaller 32″ options remain the most dependable brand choice under ₹25,000. Always confirm the exact model and price on the brand store or authorised sellers before buying.
