Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 40000

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 OnePlus Nord 5 is one of the most balanced mid-range phones around the Rs 30,000 price point. It is fast, sleek, performant, and boasts great battery life while offering one of the best software experiences. However, it achieves this by making clear sacrifices as key downgrades in the design, ultrawide performance and sound and haptics. All of this makes Nord 5 fall a step short of today’s semi-flagship devices.

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 Oppo Reno 13 Pro is the ideal Android phone if you are always on-the-go and looking for a good set of cameras. The steep price isn’t doing Oppo any favours but it clicks good shots consistently that you can view on a bright and vibrant display for more than a day. And if you always forget to charge your phone, it can juice up pretty quickly. The Reno 13 Pro is not a performance monster by any means, but it gets the job done and looks good.

The Samsung Galaxy A56 brings a blend of a good quality display, consistent cameras and superior build. However, its offerings aren’t quite appealing in the competitive mid-range market where phones offer better hardware, larger battery and high-end imaging sensors. So, it’s a better buy for people who are in need of a budget all rounder phone that lasts them for years to come.

The Vivo T4 Ultra is a specialist phone that excels in performance and zoom photography, thanks to the Dimensity 9300+ and 50 MP periscope camera, respectively. However, the ultrawide camera is only decent and the software hasn’t been Vivo’s strongest suit due to bloatware. Overall, T4 Ultra is an ideal device for those who need processing power and camera zoom, something that most phones in this segment miss out on when prioritizing one over the other.

The Vivo V50 is excellent for those who prioritise design, battery capacity and capture a lot of selfies. However, in the segment, the Vivo V50 can seem rather dated in terms of performance and while the cameras are balanced for the most part, the ultra-wide lens could certainly use some work. Unlike the V60, the V50 lacks a dedicated telephoto shooter as well, which could be a dealbreaker for some. Overall, there are tons of better alternatives at this price and we’d recommend steering clear of this one.

The Realme 15 Pro punches well above its weight with a stunning design, a massive 7,000mAh battery and class-leading cameras for a mid-range phone. Let’s no forget the large and attractive AMOLED display which is bright and brings the quad-curved aesthetic. Yes, it’s the not best performing phone for the price but it’s reliable and you’ll not face any issues in day-to-day use.

Oppo has stepped into the gaming phone segment with the K13 Turbo Pro. With a flashy design and slim build, the phone does give strong gaming vibes, while the powerful chipset handles demanding games with steady performance. The built-in cooling fan helps keep the temperatures under control during long sessions. Battery easily lasts a full day and charging is quick enough to get back to game faster. The main camera does impress but the absence of an ultra-wide lens limits flexibility. Ultimately, its higher pricing makes the overall value hard to justify.
