Best Mobile Phones Under 25,000 in India (Mar 2024)

Verdict: The POCO X6 5G is one of the best phones you can buy around the Rs 20,000 mark right now in India. The handset offers solid performance, a brilliant display, and fast charging speeds. While the low-light camera performance leaves you wanting for more, this phone is easy to recommend due to its performance prowess.

Verdict: The iQOO Z7 Pro stands out as a performance-focused smartphone adept at effortlessly handling gaming and multitasking demands. Additionally, the device scores high in aspects like design, display, and battery life. However, as it turns out, the phone may have missed a trick or two in the camera and audio domains, though those might not really be a deal breaker depending upon what you`re looking for.

Verdict: Realme 12 Pro does a lot of things right and can easily be described as the best-designed phone in its price segment. The phone`s telephoto camera lets you click some impressive shots and in terms of display and charging speed, the phone is as good as the competition. However, if you`re looking for long-term usage, the recently released POCO X6 5G comes with a better processor and could be a better fit.

Verdict: Infinix Zero 30 5G comes with a crisp 144Hz curved AMOLED display and the ability to record videos in 4K 60fps on the front and back. However, Infinix promises only one major OS upgrade, which is far from ideal.

Verdict: The OnePlus Nord CE3 5G is a capable device at what it does. It delivers a good combination of hardware and bloat-free software, resulting in a smooth user experience. However, the only niggle is that upon comparing it with the competition, the OnePlus Nord CE3 5G doesn`t seem to have any standout feature worth shouting about.

Verdict: The Realme 11 Pro`s performance, viewing experience, and battery life are as good as the more expensive Realme 11 Pro+. While the handset`s cameras have certain limitations, they excel at capturing detailed shots in a well-lit environment.

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G is a decent smartphone for its price. While the handset offers satisfactory performance across the board, I do wish it had faster charging speeds and stereo speakers.

Verdict: Infinix GT 10 Pro pricing starts from Rs 17,999, and introducing a gaming-centric phone at this price is commendable. And due to its consistent gaming performance and that too without heating up, Infinix definitely has a strong case for its phone here. Having said that, the phone`s camera performance could surely have been better. Overall, the phone offers you good and reliable performance, comes with an eye-catching design, and manages to come at a pocket-friendly price.

Verdict: The iQOO Neo7 comes across as a solid mobile gaming companion and will not disappoint in any facet related to performance. You also get a nice display, long battery life, and a capable stereo speaker setup. However, camera aficionados might be left wanting more.

Verdict: The POCO X5 Pro 5G might not set new benchmarks, but that doesn`t mean it is not a capable smartphone. The handset does not disappoint at all with its performance. It even offers a good viewing experience with its rich AMOLED screen and stereo speakers, while the cameras are more or less on par with its competitors. The phone`s battery life feels a bit underwhelming for a 5G device, but the 67W fast charging solution compensates for that.

Verdict: The Vivo V25 5G is among the better-looking smartphones out there. The colour-changing design helps it stand out from the crowd. Moreover, the phone offers a good screen, decent cameras, and respectable battery life. But, for the price, the Vivo V25 5G could have done better.

Verdict: The iQOO Neo 6 is an enticing offering and the smartphone brings a slew of features to the table, including a gorgeous 120Hz display and Qualcomm`s top of the line Snapdragon 870 processor. Rest assured, buyers looking for a dependable Android or a high-performance gaming device will feel right at home with the iQOO Neo 6.

Verdict: The Realme Narzo 50 Pro is a phone that has a lot going for it in terms of its design, processing prowess, battery life, and image-taking capabilities. It is let down only slightly by the lack of a higher refresh rate display and microSD card slot, plus the presence of bloatware.

Verdict: The OPPO F21 Pro 5G might not be a performance champ, but it makes up for that with its slim and sleek design along with good battery life. While daylight photography is great on the device, its low light capabilities will leave you wanting more.

Verdict: The Redmi K50i lacks the flair and appeal that defined the K20 Pro back in the day. However, the phone offers excellent performance, good battery life and decent daylight photography chops which, when put together, make it a compelling option.

Verdict: The iQOO Z6 Pro has the performance flair that`ll attract a lot of mobile gamers in the mid-range market. It is also backed up by a nice AMOLED panel, great battery life and an intuitive software skin. However, photography is an aspect that could do with some improvement.
