Best phones to buy under Rs 25,000 in India

iQOO Z5 5G/ Z3 5G

The iQOO duo retains their spots on our list. The iQOO Z5 5G and Z3 5G aren’t very different from each other and offer impressive features and performance. The top variant of the iQOO Z3 5G with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal storage can be comfortably purchased in this budget, and Amazon India is currently offering a further Rs 1,500 discount on it. It is powered by Qualcomm’s midrange Snapdragon 768 SoC.

It has a sharp 6.58-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with HDR10 compliance and 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling in compatible apps. Photography is handled by three cameras at the back comprising a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide snapper and a 2MP macro camera. A 16MP selfie camera is located in a drop notch at the top of the screen. A 4400 mAh battery keeps the phone powered for over a day of moderate use. You also get a 55W fast charger in the bundle to juice it up in quick time.

The iQOO Z5 5G offers small but significant upgrades over the Z3. It has a faster and more recent Snapdragon 778 SoC. Internal storage has been upgraded to a faster UFS 3.1 standard from version 2.2. It has a larger 6.67-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with 120 Hz refresh rate. Battery capacity has been bumped up to 5000 mAh, but you get a relatively slower 44W fast charger, which promises to charge 50% of the battery in 23 minutes.

You generally get the 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage variant in this budget, but because of a Rs 3,000 instant discount on Amazon India, you can also get the 12 GB RAM and 256 GB internal storage variant under 25K while the offer lasts. Each of the phones runs Android 11 with FunTouch UI, and the company promises two major Android updates on both devices. While the Z3 ships with FunTouch UI 11.1, the Z5 offers the newer version 12 out of the box. The camera department is identical on both phones.

Samsung Galaxy M52 5G

Samsung, for a change, has a great option in this budget, and without going overboard with the thickness or weight. The Samsung Galaxy M52 5G too is powered by a Snapdragon 778 SoC, and accompanied by 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal (expandable) storage. It has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with 120 Hz refresh rate. Despite the larger display and a 5000 mAh battery, it weighs under 175 grams and is quite slim at just 7.4 mm thickness.

Xiaomi 11i 5G

The fairly recent Xiaomi 11i 5G is something the photography enthusiasts would like to look at closely, courtesy of its 108MP camera. The support cast consists of an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP macro camera. The 16MP front camera is good enough for selfies and video calls. This 5G phone is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 920 SoC, and you get 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage that can be expanded further with a microSD card.

The Xiaomi 11i 5G has a 6.67-inch Full HD+ HDR10 compliant Super AMOLED display that can get up to 1200 nits bright. This too supports 120 Hz refresh rate for a flicker-free experience in compatible apps, and is protected against scratches by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. A 5160 mAh battery keeps it running for close to a day and a half of moderate use, and the bundled 67W turbo charger claims to take it from 0 to 50% in just 13 minutes. This Xiaomi phone runs Android 11 with MIUI 12.5.

Motorola Edge 20 Fusion

The Motorola Edge 20 Fusion is the second phone in this list to flaunt a 108MP camera, which is one of its key selling points. The support cast consists of an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP depth sensor. Not to forget the 32MP front camera that does a great job with selfies and video calls. This phone is powered by a modest Mediatek Dimensity 800U chip and you get a choice between 6 GB or 8 GB RAM along with 128 GB internal (expandable) storage.

This phone has a 6.7-inch Full HD+ HDR10+ compliant OLED screen that is capable of displaying over a billion colour shades. A 90 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling significantly smoother than standard 60 Hz displays. The Motorola Edge 20 Fusion has a 5000mAh battery that can go on for over a day and a half of moderate use and supports 30W fast charging. And given that this is a Motorola phone, it runs Android 11 with a clean and near-stock user interface, which is another plus.

OnePlus Nord CE

And finally we have the most inexpensive OnePlus smartphone in this country, the Nord CE. We have included this phone in this list mainly for one reason – OxygenOS, which we believe is still one of the best Android UI around (prior to version 12). The OnePlus Nord CE runs Android 11 with OxygenOS 11. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 750G SoC, which may not be as powerful as some of the chips above, but is good enough to keep things smooth here.

Camera department is manned by a 64MP primary camera along with an 8MP ultra-wide shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. Its 4500 mAh battery can keep the phone running for well over a day of moderate use, and the bundled 30W charger gets it back up quickly.
