Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 30000

iQOO Neo 10R is a pretty good phone for its price, as it packs a powerful processor, decent set of cameras and a smooth, bright display. It also features a huge battery that can easily last you a day. While the design is unique, it’s not light weight and the plastic panel may feel cheap for some. If you are planning for this phone, i suggest you to skip the base variant.

With an excellent software experience with Nothing OS, a versatile camera setup, and a bright 120 Hz OLED display, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro still champions its place as one of the best mid-range smartphones you can buy, even after six months. Performance is not its strongest suit, and the camera lacks consistency, but still, the overall package is stylish, clean and thoughtfully built.

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a well-rounded phone which looks and feels premium, delivers excellent everyday performance, has a large, bright display, the cameras perform reliably across the board, and the battery easily lasts a full day. The software experience on Hello UI is decent, but the flavour of Android 16 is missing. It's a near perfect phone under Rs 30,000 that offers almost a flagship level experience.

The K13 Turbo is Oppo’s attempt at a budget gaming smartphone. With a physical fan on board, the phone performs similarly with the fan turned on or off. The cameras click balanced photos but however, it misses out on a extra camera. The phone boasts a day long battery life and the display is bright enough outdoors and produce punchy colors, but there are other more well-rounded options you can explore.

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.

The Vivo T4 Pro is the perfect Android phone for someone who prioritises zoom and portrait shots. Backing the camera are an excellent display and good battery backup. However, the chipset is not the most powerful in the segment and the phone packs a lot of preinstalled apps. So overall, the Vivo T4 Pro is a solid recommend for people who want good cameras and battery life.

The Vivo V60e is a phone that shouldn’t be your first choice in the sub-Rs 30,000 budget. Mostly because the hardware here is not the best, and the software optimisation is not as good as other Vivo phones in this price range either. You can get it if you’re looking for a powerful main camera, big battery life and fast charging. But other than that, everything is a downgrade compared to what you can get for the price.

The Motorola Edge 60 is a style statement with its vegan leather back panel and a top-tier curved display. It’s blessed with a useful set of cameras all around and its speakers can get quite loud. While the battery backup is average at best, it can be juiced pretty quickly with the included 68W charger. However, if you want a better performance or software experience, you might be a little underwhelmed and are better off with other options in the segment.

The Oppo F31 Pro packs a massive battery and good display. But that’s as far as its advantages go. For everything else, the phone is plain average and you can easily get a well-suited alternative that offers better cameras, smoother performance and a feature-rich Android experience in the same price segment.
