Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 10000

The Realme C71 is a strong entry level contender and is made for casual everyday use. While its camera and performance are in line with the price, it excels with a decent 90Hz display, excellent battery endurance and a sleek design. Realme is also promising two years of major OS updates. So ultimately, the Realme C71 is a smartphone worth recommending for casual calling and viewing videos.

For budget conscious folks who want an entry-level phone, the Galaxy M06 5G more than delivers. With its wide 5G connectivity support, strong software support, a large battery with 25W fast charging and 50 MP main camera, it’s a great purchase for people looking to buy their first smartphone. No charger in the box is a bummer, though.

If you’re on a tight budget and want a reliable phone that can handle day-to-day tasks like doomscrolling and chatting without dying out easily, the Galaxy M07 is a strong contender. With its large 90Hz display, big battery, a reliable main camera and a solid OS update promise, it checks many boxes for long-term value.

The Galaxy A07 is an entry-level Android phone built with longevity in mind. It offers an unprecedented 6-year OS update promise, which is its primary selling point. While the phone performs decently for the price, it is let down by its large and low resolution display. It doesn’t have enough RAM, and Samsung doesn’t even provide a charger in the box. All in all, it’s a decent phone but there are certainly better options for you to choose.

The Poco C71 brings an impressive design, a smooth display, clean software and commendable battery life at an inexpensive price. If you are upgrading from a feature phone and are on a strict budget, this is the best companion you can possibly have. However, if you want futureproofing, better performance, and a better camera, it falls short. Also, getting a 5G phone is the way to go at this point.

Redmi A5 is a decent upgrade for users coming from a feature phone. The design feels fresh, unlike other budget phones. With light usage, the phone can last more than a day easily and tops up in 2 hours. Redmi is also promising two years of OS upgrades, which is good for longevity. Overall, for basic usage like calling and multimedia, Redmi A5 4G is a decent choice. But go for the higher 4GB RAM variant if you are planning to get one.

The Moto G35 is a decent option for those looking for 5G connectivity under Rs 10,000. It offers a good design and consistently reliable power backup. However, do not expect the phone to perform well in tasks like gaming and photography. Lastly, the UI is clean considering the competition, but it is not well optimised for everyone.

The Infinix Smart 10 is ideal for those looking to own a secondary or an entry-level smartphone. The display is bright enough and supports high refresh rate and AOD. It offers reliable battery backup and protection against dust and water. However, it is not ideal when it comes to multitasking and overall performance.

The Lava Storm Lite is the perfect budget phone that doesn’t have glaring omissions often seen on other options in the segment. It offers reliable performance, display quality, and imaging with no bloatware or ad-laden software. However, being an affordable phone, there has been some cost-cutting measures in the form of a slow charger and insufficient storage space. So, if you can live with that, the Storm Lite makes for a solid budget Android phone.

The Acer Super ZX impresses on paper with a dependable combination of chipset, software and battery. It’s one of the few phones in this segment with a 64 MP main sensor. Its biggest downsides are the display which isn’t AMOLED and lack of an IP rating. Also, the brand doesn’t offer any promise of future OS updates. Although a decent option for most users, it’s not the best value-for-money option
