Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 15000

For a phone in the sub-Rs 15,000 segment, the iQOO Z10x delivers a capable chipset, massive battery unit and a coloured light that glows for alerts. However, it fails to take into account basics like display quality, software experience and cameras which leaves the overall experience underwhelming. There are more deserving options to go for in this price.

The Redmi Note 14 SE is a budget phone that ticks a lot of boxes. You get an AMOLED display which is bright enough outdoors, loud stereo speakers, decent processor and a really good camera. But the battery size is not up to standard, and you also have to buy the charger separately. If you’re okay with that, this is the perfect package for the segment.

The Realme P4x combines one of the best processors in the segment with a ginormous battery, all in a pretty sleek form factor. It excels at gaming and is capable of lasting two days on a charge. However, the camera performance is average and charging it back up takes a lot of time. If you prioritise speed and stamina over others, it's one of the best value phones you can get right now.

Poco M7 Plus is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a multimedia focused smartphone. It has a large and bright display, a huge battery, and pretty loud speakers. Other than that, the performance, cameras, and the HyperOS Android skin leave something to be desired.

The Samsung Galaxy F16 makes for a compelling option if you want an affordable phone that’s good for long hours of media consumption. Its biggest strength is the Super AMOLED display, which makes for a fantastic viewing experience. While its design choices and performance are fine for the price, you cannot get a better set of cameras and a 6-year OS update policy anywhere else.

The Galaxy F17 5G is the phone to get if you’re specifically looking for a Samsung phone on budget. It offers a good display, extended OS updates and long-lasting battery. However, it comes with major compromises in hardware, camera and display which make it unappealing compared to other devices in the segment.

The Samsung Galaxy M17 5G is a decent mid-range Android phone for under Rs 15,000. It is designed for people who want a good design with a vivid AMOLED display, good selfie camera and software experience that improves with each update. However, the phone lags behind the competition in terms of performance, low-light camera output, and charging speeds. All in all, the Galaxy M17 is a good value for money phone for casual users.

The Moto G57 Power delivers excellent battery endurance, a set of capable cameras, a clean software and good performance all at a really affordable price. However, it compromises significantly on the media experience, with a dated LCD panel and average speakers. While the single-year update policy is limited, the phone is still an ideal choice for budget users, and it's easily one of the best sub-Rs 15,000 phones.
