6 Best Mobile Phones Under Rs 25,000 in India (September 2023)

Smartphones are getting expensive but still, we do have some good options available under Rs 25,000, so take a look at the best smartphone for gaming, cameras, UI, and battery life.

Best Mobile Phones Under Rs 25000

We have phones like POCO X5 Pro 5G, iQOO Z7 Pro 5G, Infinix Zero 30 5G, Motorola Edge 30 5G, Galaxy M53 5G, and even Lava Agni 2 5G Under Rs 25,000 in India. All these 6 phones are good, you just have to pick one that fits your requirements.

So let’s find out which one is the best one for you.

POCO X5 Pro 5G

Specifications

6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED Display. 120Hz Refresh Rate. Snapdragon 778G SoC Android 12 – MIUI 14 7 5G Bands, 108MP+8MP+2MP Rear Cameras, 16MP Front Cameras, 5,000mAh battery (67W),

POCO X5 Pro 5G is a solid smartphone for Rs 22,999 but POCO has been facing hardware issues for the last couple of years, although, POCO X5 Pro 5G doesn’t have any Motherboard issues.

Still, users are a bit skeptical about POCO smartphones, especially in India, so that’s the only downside or issue with POCO X5 Pro 5G, Other than that, it’s a solid device for the price it comes.

If you ask me, I feel, POCO will have fixed all the issues but still, it’s my job to tell you. The last couple of POCO smartphones are facing Motherboard issues which I have already mentioned in the POCO X5 Pro 5G Review.

However, only time will tell “How’s the hardware quality of POCO X5 Pro 5G”. So if anything goes wrong, I’m here and will add it right here.

iQOO Z7 Pro 5G

Specifications

6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED Display. Curved Panel. 120Hz Refresh Rate. Mediatek Dimensity 7200 (4 nm) Android 13 – Fun Touch OS 13.1 14 5G Bands, 108 MP + 2MP Rear Cameras, 16MP Front Cameras, 4,600mAh battery (66W),

iQOO is known for its gaming smartphones but things have changed and now, they’re more focused on balancing smartphones. The iQOO Z7 Pro 5G is one of the examples of it.

Long story short, if you’re looking for a beautiful design, 120hz curved AMOLED display, whopping 1300 brightness, feature-rich software, faster charging support, and decent cameras then the iQOO Z7 Pro 5G is the best smartphone for you.

However, if you want a gaming smartphone with solid cameras then this is not the best option rather look at Infinix Zero 30 5G.

In short, iQOO Z7 Pro 5G is not for power-hungry users or even for those who want the best cameras, it’s more focused on the design side of things.

Infinix Zero 30 5G

Specifications

6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED Display. Curved Panel. 120Hz Refresh Rate. Mediatek Dimensity 8020 (6 nm). Android 13 – XOS 13.1 14 5G Bands, 108 MP + 8 MP + 2MP Rear Cameras, 50MP Front Cameras, 5,000mAh battery (68W),

This is Rs 23,999 smartphone and it has everything that you ever wanted in a mid-budget smartphone whether it’s powerful SoC, faster-charging support, or even good cameras.

The only downside of Infinix Zero 30 5G is night photography, it’s not the best. Infinix needs to work on it but the daylight photography is way better than iQOO Z7 Pro 5G.

The 6.78-inch curved display is solid too while the 5,000mAh battery will last for a day without any problem.

In short, you can consider the Infinix Zero 30 5G if you’re looking for a gaming phone with decent cameras While the design is subjective but I feel, you will like what Infinix has produced.

Motorola Edge 30 5G

Specifications

6.50-inch FHD+ pOLED Display. 144Hz Refresh Rate. Snapdragon 778G+ 5G. My UX 3.0 – Android 12. 7 5G Bands. 50MP+50MP+2MP Rear Cameras. 16MP Front Cameras. 4,020mAh battery (33W).

If you want the pure stock Android experience and don’t want to buy the Google Pixel then do consider the Motorola Edge 30, The device doesn’t have any ads while the Snapdragon 778+ is smooth enough to handle almost every single task along with 144Hz for a better experience.

Keep in mind, the phone has only one disadvantage which is the cameras, yes, the cameras are not as good as other smartphones under 25k.

I mean, Motorola needs to fix this from the next device because almost all Motorola phone has average cameras.

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G

Specifications

6.70-inches FHD+ AMOLED Display 90Hz Refresh Rate MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G (6 nm) Android 12 – OneUI 4.1 108MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP Rear Camera 32MP Front Cameras 5,000mAh battery (25W) *No charger in the Box

Fan of Samsung then you won’t find a better smartphone the Galaxy M53 5G under Rs 25,000.

The device is powered by MediaTek dimensity 900 which is a decent processor for day-to-day usage while the cameras are also not bad, so for Samsung fans, go for it.

Lava Agni 2 5G

Specifications

6.78-inches FHD+ AMOLED Display. Curved Panel. 120Hz Refresh Rate Mediatek Dimensity 7050 (6 nm) Android 13 – Near Stock 13 5G Bands 50MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP Rear Camera 16MP Front Cameras 4,700mAh battery (66W)

Lava is back and this time, they’re here to stay.

Now, I can’t really comment on how they will do with the software in the long term but as of now, Lava is doing everything perfectly with the Lava Agni 2.

It doesn’t have ads, it’s pure stock UI. There is also Mediatek Dimensity 7050 (6 nm) SoC which is not powerful but it is the best you can get under Rs 25,000.

Lava Agni 2 5G has its flaws which you can read about in my review but in short, if you want a clean Android experience along with a beautiful design and decent cameras then do consider this device.

Conclusion

IQOO Z7 Pro 5G is good good-looking smartphone while the Motorola Edge 30 5G will provide a clean Android experience, lastly The Infinix Zero 30 5G is the best option for gaming under Rs 25,000.

So yes, there is no clear winner, so you just have to choose what you’re looking for in a smartphone whether its performance, cameras, battery, build or design.
