Best Mobile Phones Under 25000

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 Vivo T4 5G packs a big 7300 mAh battery bundled in a premium-looking design and an equally elegant but vibrant quad curved display. But it also compromises on audio quality with a single speaker, issues with the fingerprint scanner and a single main camera at the back. It's a solid option at Rs 20,999 for those who want long battery life, but its cons can't be ignored.

The Oppo F29 Pro 5G is clearly built with offline buyers in mind rather than online value users. It focuses on looks rather than practicality. The slim and sturdy build, along with solid IP Protection, makes it one of the attractive options in the segment. The included battery can easily last for more than a day and it charges pretty quickly. Where the Oppo F29 Pro struggles is in the chipset and camera department as you may find better performing alternatives for the price.

The Realme Narzo 80 Pro is a good package for those who want to experience a clean design and 90 FPS gaming in BGMI. It has a good all-day battery backup with fast charging and bypass charging. However, the display quality and cameras are not the best for the price. The phone offers a dependable processor but it’s prone to heating, especially during gaming.

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 Nothing Phone (3a) stands out with its standout, transparent design and reliable performance. Its display is crisp, and the main camera is solid, but its telephoto sensor falters in dim lit conditions. It has an enduring battery, and while the UI is clean, the recent bloatware additions mar the experience slightly. The Phone (3a) faces stiff competition from better-equipped rivals, making it a smart purchase only if you get a significant discount.

Samsung Galaxy M56 is a phone of contradictions. It pairs a great AMOLED display with a weak mono speaker, undermining the media experience. Likewise, its excellent One UI software experience is let down by a sluggish Exynos chipset. This imbalance makes the Galaxy M56 a miss, and most buyers will be able to find better-rounded alternatives.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro is a by-the-numbers mid-range phone that delivers a crisp, vivid and responsive AMOLED display. Even the design is quite ergonomic and durable and the battery life easily lasts more than a day. But the camera produces soft images and HyperOS packs multiple bloatware apps. This is why it is only recommendable if you can get it at a discount.
