Best Gaming Mobile Phones Under 50000

The Samsung's Galaxy S24 is a flagship-level package you can get for the price of a mid-ranger. It has a reliable camera setup, great display, decent performance and a solid update policy. But since it's a compact phone, the battery life and charging speeds are not the best. If that doesn’t bother you, this might be your best bet in the segment.

The OnePlus 15R continues the legacy of the R-series by prioritising raw power above all else. It's a powerhouse in disguise as it delivers a top-tier display, immersive speakers, and massive battery life. It's paired with a decent set of cameras that can do the job, and its design won’t win any awards. But if your top priority is gaming, and only gaming, the OnePlus 15R is your best bet at the moment.

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.

The Vivo V40 Pro packs a punch for a reasonable price. It stands out with its performance-focused hardware, great battery and Zeiss cameras. However, it fails to deliver a good media experience because of unoptimised HDR and underwhelming speakers. While it's a good purchase overall, you will get better value for money options in this segment.

The Google Pixel 9a is an unpretentious phone that does most of what you throw at it. Being a Pixel phone, its greatest strengths are the clean software, years of Android updates and consistent cameras. It’s even got one of the best battery life on a Pixel, albeit with a slow charging. However, in the ever-competitive mid-range market, the Pixel 9a still comes short as you will find phones with superior performance, more premium designs, advanced cameras and faster charging.

The Motorola Razr 60 is bound to turn heads in public and could be a decent phone if you don’t wish to shell out extra for the Ultra. However, it’s held back by the underwhelming performance, average battery life, mediocre speakers and limited software support. It’s a foldable phone that prioritises form over a powerful, cohesive and long-lasting experience.
