These days, there is no need to spend more money to get the best smartphone, we have tons of smartphones at a budget price which offer the best value with the best specifications. I mean, there is a phone with 65W fast charging support, phone with 5G at 21k. Now, let’s not go below 20k because I have already covered that budget.
Now it’s time to look at top best mobiles under 30k, so let’s see best ones for you.
Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G
Xiaomi is back with Mi 10i 5G and as you can tell from the name, this is 5G smartphone and its powerful 5G smartphone. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 750G chipset and this is by far best chip you can get below 25k in India, so there won’t be any kind of problem in gaming or in day to day use.
The phone also has huge 4,820 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support and yes, the battery will last for a day, it won’t last more than 1 day, you have to charge Mi 10i 5G at the end of every single day.
This is the only smartphone available under Rs 25,000 that has 108-Megapixel (Samsung HM2 sensor) quad rear camera setup featuring 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP Macro lens and 2MP depth sensor while there is 16MP selfie shooter.
Overall, if you want power pack smartphone at a budget price then don’t look for anything else, Mi 10i 5G has everything expect AMOLED display. So if you want AMOLED display then look at Galaxy M51 but you will lose out on 120Hz refresh rate, 5G support, 33W fast charging, solid build quality and you have to pay 2k more.

Motorola G 5G
After a long time, Motorola is back on track. The Motorola G 5G (review) is powered by Snapdragon 750G which is built on 8nm technology and has 5G support, Motorola has added support for all the 5G bands that means, this phone can be used outside India with 5G.
The phone is priced at Rs 20,999 for 8GB Ram + 128GB storage that means, Motorola has cut some corners. The phone doesn’t have the best cameras and it has plastic build quality.
In short, if you want 5G smartphone with powerful performance but you can live with decent cameras and if your budget is tight then Motorola G 5G is the best option to go with.

OnePlus Nord
OnePlus Nord (Review) was the best 5G smartphone which was launched under Rs 30,000 in India. The phone has almost everything, as I said almost, it doesn’t have the best cameras. The OnePlus Nord price starts from Rs 24,999 and at this price, this phone doesn’t have the good camera setup.
OnePlus Nord has NFC, Premium build, 5G Support, Powerful Processor, Fast charging, Best Android UI but it’s doesn’t have best cameras and this is the only thing that’s missing. If you can live with Decent cameras then this could be a great option.

Vivo V20 Pro 5G
Every smartphone has some cons and Vivo V20 Pro 5G (review) also has some. The phone has old-style display notch and it’s running on Funtouch OS which is not the best UI in the world. Good thing is, Vivo V20 Pro 5G has the best cameras after Pixel 4A under Rs 30,000.
Pixel 4A doesn’t count here because that phone has the only best camera. If you want best cameras, best performance, solid build and if you live with a display notch and Fun touch OS then don’t look for anything else, Vivo V20 Pro 5G is the best mobile below 30k in India.

Google Pixel 4a
Pixel 4A (Review) has only single rear camera setup and yet, it has best cameras under Rs 30,000. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 730G which is good processor but at Rs 29,999, this is not the best SoC to get but hey, if you want best cameras then don’t look for anything else just for with Pixel 4A.
The phone is made out of plastic, doesn’t have 5G support, and it’s not as powerful as OnePlus Nord. In short, if you want best camera smartphone and you can live with above-average performance and plastic build then Pixel 4A is for you but if you want balance smartphone then do take look at Vivo V20 Pro 5G, OnePlus Nord or Motorola G 5G.

RealMe X3 SuperZoom
RealMe X3 SuperZoom is priced at Rs 27,999 for 8GB of Ram and 128GB storage. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 855 Plus Processor which is best SoC you can get below 30k, this phone will give the best performance in every department.
The phone also has the best cameras, decent build quality but it doesn’t have the 5G support. Also, RealMe X3 SuperZoom has an LCD display which is not the best thing to have but overall, considering the price tag, RealMe X3 superzoom is value for money device.
Still, I would say, go with 5G smartphone, if you don’t buy new smartphone every year because around next year, 5G is coming to India and you don’t want to miss out on that.
