Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 25000

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

The OnePlus Nord CE 5 is easily the strongest Core Edition phone yet, packing a massive battery, a super bright AMOLED display, a powerful Dimensity processor, good cameras, and long-term software support. All of this at a starting price of Rs 24,999 makes it a solid recommendation for the price.

The Realme P4 Pro offers excellent value with a slim design that is comfortable to hold and a sharp display with high refresh rate and high brightness in direct sunlight. It also brings well-rounded performance, a decent camera, and long lasting battery life. However, there is bloatware in the software which hampers the experience and the speakers sound flat. Overall, it is worth recommending at this price point.

The Realme P3 Ultra is the kind of mid-range phone that ticks all the boxes and nails the essentials with surprising finesse. The cameras are reliable, software is mature and performance is amazing for the price. The stunning quad-curved AMOLED is an absolute delight, and all of this is wrapped up in a body that feels more expensive than it actually is. Sure, there's some bloatware and minor quirks, but they fade fast once you start using the phone daily. After a week with it, I can confidently say that the Realme P3 Ultra is just the perfect blend for most people.

The Poco X7 is for those looking to score a budget gaming phone. The design, processor and display will not disappoint in the price point. While the camera module is versatile, its performance may leave you wanting more. The only thing that drags it down is HyperOS 2 which is not the smoothest experience as it’s riddled with pre-installed apps and ads. Otherwise, it’s an easy recommendation.

The Realme 14 Pro Plus is ideal for those who prioritise a standout design, top-tier display and a reliable battery. It offers a complete multimedia package at this price and can also capture stunning pictures with the main and telephoto cameras. However, if you’re primarily looking to game and enjoy a long and clean software support, this phone is not for you.

If you’re looking for a phone solely for media consumption, iQOO Z10R is the ideal choice. The phone gets a premium display with stereo speakers that get plenty loud. It also has a dependable chipset to power you through most day-to-day tasks. Beyond that, the compromises kick in, as the phone lacks a versatile camera and has subpar battery and OS support. If that matters to you, look at other options.

The Moto Edge 50 Ultra is a flagship-killer-level phone, that delivers a sharp display, well-rounded software, snappy performance, and a versatile camera setup. It comes in some really eccentric finishes like wood and vegan leather that looks amazing and makes it stand out. While the lack of LTPO display or a larger battery might be a turn-off for some, it's still a great phone for the price.

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.
