Summer is here. Most of us avoid going out in the sun in this scorching heat wave, while the others find ways to beat it. Those who go out in the sun try lemonade, sugarcane juice, soft drinks, butter milk, etc. to beat the heat. We understand that it would be very difficult for you to visit the market and find yourself the phone of your dreams. Thus we have shortlisted some of the best phones for all budgets that you should buy this summer for beating the heat (somewhat).
Why go out when you can buy yourself a cool phone without leaving the comfort of your home?
