Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 40000

The Realme GT 7 packs the right goodies like a high-end chipset, all-around cameras, a pretty good battery life with really fast charging speeds. If we’re to nitpick, thermal management and ultrawide shots could have been better but that’s asking too much from an otherwise well-packaged phone in the segment.

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 OnePlus 13R is a good mid-range Android phone, offering a vivid and sharp display, paired with a stereo speaker setup, large battery that can easily last the day and a flagship processor that can handle any demanding games. It also comes with a dedicated telephoto lens but the camera quality is just average at best. For the price, it is a great option, if a reliable experience is your priority.

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 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 OPPO Reno14 delivers a premium experience with flagship-like features at a cost-effective price. It offers standout build quality, an excellent camera setup, and solid battery with fast charging. Reno 14 brings decent performance too, but the chipset does tend to get hot under heavy gaming. Some users might not like the excess bloatware in the UI, but the overall experience is pretty solid for the price.

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.
