It also has MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor which works fine and it can handle almost all mobile games, so issue with performance too. Again, if you wanted a gaming smartphone then consider the RealMe 9 Pro SE 5G (review) which is available at Rs 19,999 and has a powerful Snapdragon 778G processor.
There is also a 6.40-inches 90Hz AMOLED display, 4500mAh battery with 60W charging support, stereo speakers, solid build, and 13 5G bands.

Realme GT Master Edition

During Amazon Festive sale, the Realme GT Master Edition was selling at only Rs 17,999. So congratulations, if you bought one.
Now, this phone at priced at 26k, and at this price, it’s a bit pricey which I have already talked about in RealMe GT ME review.
The cameras are a weak part of the Realme GT Master Edition, everything else is great. It’s powered by Snapdragon 778G processor, so there won’t be any kind of issue with speed while the battery will last for a long time because the processor is well optimized.
Overall, if you want good cameras then this is not the best smartphone, you will be disappointed with the RealMe GT Me camera. This is the best option for gaming and 65W fast charging helps a lot.
Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G
| SPECIFICATIONS | 6.67-inches FHD+ AMOLED Display Snapdragon 778G Processor MIUI 12.5 – Android 11 108MP + 8MP + 2MP Rear Cameras 32MP Front Camera 4,500mAh battery (120W) |

The only smartphone to come with massive 120W fast charging support, I mean, a 120W charger will charge the smartphone in only 15 minutes from 0 to 100% which is insane.
Yes, Xiaomi is charging extra for a 120W charger but if you don’t want the 120W charger you can also go with Xiaomi 11i 5G (review) which is priced at Rs 24,999 and has 67W charging support.
Overall, the phone has everything except good cameras, so yes, you’re paying money for processor and charging speed, if you want the best camera then consider the newly launched RealMe 9 Pro Plus 5G.
Motorola Edge 20
| SPECIFICATIONS | 6.70-inches FHD+ OLED Display Snapdragon 778G Processor Stock Android 11 108MP + 16MP + 8MP Rear Cameras 32MP Front Camera 4,000mAh battery (30W) |

Motorola Edge 20 has everything you ever wanted in a mid-budget smartphone. It features a 6.67-inches 144Hz 10bit OLED HDR10+ display. The device is powered by Snapdragon 778G SoC and running on Android 11 and it will get an Android OS update up to Android 13.
The camera implementation is also good, it has a 108MP primary sensor, 16MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto while there is a 32MP selfie shooter. There is also a 4,000 mAh battery with 30W fast charging support.
The highlighted feature is the display quality, there is no single smartphone that has this kind of display at even a 40k price tag.
The cache is, the phone doesn’t have good cameras, the camera implementation is great, Motorola just needs to optimize the camera but still, they haven’t done anything.
Overall, if you want a clean Android experience, powerful processor, solid battery life, fast charging support, 5g support, lightweight smartphone, and if you’re okay with decent cameras then do consider the Moto Edge 20 5G otherwise, do take look at RealMe 9 Pro Plus 5G.
POCO F3 GT 5G
| SPECIFICATIONS | 6.67-inches FHD+ AMOLED Display Snapdragon 778G Processor MIUI 12 – Android 11 64MP + 8MP + 2MP Rear Cameras 16MP Front Camera 5060mAh battery (67W) |

This is a gaming smartphone, so if you wanted the best gaming smartphone under Rs 30,000 then this is it, go with POCO F3 GT 5G. It also has an in-built gaming trigger.
The POCO F3 GT doesn’t have the best camera that said, if you want the best camera then you should take look at the OnePlus Nord 2 0r even RealMe 9 Pro Plus 5G but if you want the best gaming smartphone then the POCO F3 GT is a better option.
By the way, it’s not like, the phone has a bad camera but considering the price tag, the camera should have been better. You can also read the POCO F3 GT review, so you can get a clear idea, of what POCO is offering or what not?
OnePlus Nord 2 5G
| SPECIFICATIONS | 6.43-inches FHD+ AMOLED Display MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G (6 nm) OxygenOS 11 – Android 11 50MP + 8MP + 2MP Rear Cameras 32MP Front Camera 4,500mAh battery (65W) |

The OnePlus Nord 2 has OIS support and the Sony IMX 766 SoC which takes the best images under the low lights. So if you want a camera smartphone under Rs 30,000 in INDIA then it’s better to go with OnePlus Nord 2 5G.
There was some news about a month ago that OnePlus Nord 2 5G phone is blasting and because of this, people are not buying the smartphone. Now, OnePlus didn’t say anything about that blasting, so we don’t know whether it’s a smartphone or something else.
If we keep that blasting part aside then OnePlus Nord 2 5G has as good cameras as RealMe 9 Pro+ 5G but the thing is, RealMe 9 Pro Plus is available at 25k while Nord 2 is available at 30k.
Overall, iI would suggest you go with Realme 9 Pro+ 5G but if you want only the OnePlus phone then OnePlus Nord 2 5G is also a good option and you will be more than happy with the device.
Conclusion: Best Smartphone Under Rs 30,000
If you want a value for money device then RealMe 9 Pro Plus 5G is the best option but if you also want the best gaming smartphone under Rs 30,000 then there is no better option than POCO F3 GT 5G.
Winner: RealMe 9 Pro Plus 5G
