Best Gaming Mobile Phones in India

The OnePlus 15 is a jack of all trades, featuring top-tier performance, high refresh rate display and long battery life. However, it ditches the iconic OnePlus design for a generic look that doesn't have anything special to say about itself. The screen suffers a downgrade in resolution, and the same goes for the build quality and camera. It does not justify its high starting price, especially since there are some fairly good alternatives at lower prices.

The Vivo X300 is a rare compact flagship that delivers across the board, from a premium design and stunning display to top-tier performance and remarkably consistent cameras. OriginOS 6 adds a polished and modern software experience as well, backed by long-term updates, while the battery lasts a full day and then some. It stands out as the most complete flagship of 2025 and an easy recommendation.

The iQOO 15 leaves barely any room for complaints, with its refined in-hand feel, a stunningly immersive display, buttery smooth performance, solid battery backup and software that's now genuinely enjoyable to live with. Yes, it isn't the absolute kind of photography, but as a no-nonsense all-rounder that nails consistency, the iQOO 15 stands as the most polished Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phone you can buy right now.

The OnePlus 15R continues the legacy of the R-series by prioritising raw power above all else. It's a powerhouse in disguise as it delivers a top-tier display, immersive speakers, and massive battery life. It's paired with a decent set of cameras that can do the job, and its design won’t win any awards. But if your top priority is gaming, and only gaming, the OnePlus 15R is your best bet at the moment.

The Poco F7 stays true to the flagship killer spirit with a bold design, bright OLED display, excellent performance and 90W fast charging. However, it comes with compromises like a poorly optimised software experience, inconsistent cameras, and a hefty build. If you’re looking for raw performance and gaming is what you do in the sub-Rs 30,000 segment, the Poco F7 is a compelling choice.

The iQOO Neo 10 packs a serious punch, offering a stunning AMOLED display, powerful performance, and an excellent battery life in the mid-range segment. The cameras are dependable and the design feels premium, but Funtouch OS is the only thorn in its side. Still, at the end of the day, this is a performance-first device that nails gaming, multimedia experience and battery endurance.

The OnePlus 13R proves it still has plenty going for it even months after launch. With top-tier performance, excellent battery life, fast charging and a polished OxygenOS experience, it remains a reliable daily driver. While its cameras aren't class-leading in low-light, the strong daylight performance and a useful telephoto lens make it a well-rounded, good-value phone in the segment.

The Realme GT 7T is a performance-centric phone, with a responsive display, big SiC battery and pretty quick charging. The design also looks quite good but the phone can get warm easily during demanding tasks. While the main camera is quite good, if you want superior imaging, you may be hard-pressed to look at better options in the segment

The Infinix GT 30 Pro has its priorities clear. It’s an unapologetic mid-range gaming phone with a beautiful screen and attractive design. By sacrificing software and battery, it’s not a complete experience because its target buyers aren’t looking for one. However, it’s a good phone for those who live on the gaming adrenaline and need a phone that could turn heads, and shoot them at the same time.

The Poco X7 Pro is an all rounded offering which knocks it out of the part with its performance, battery and display quality. However, the phone misses the mark with the software and delivers a not-so-great camera experience. If you’re okay with that, this is a value-for-money in the segment
