BEST 5G MOBILE PHONES UNDER 25000 IN INDIA

The iQOO Z9s Pro brings a lot of improvement to the Z-series. The latest smartphone from the brand offers a sleeker design language and is available in different finishes. The handset also packs a punch in terms of performance and gives you a good value-for-money proposition under Rs 30,000. The cameras have also improved from its predecessors, and the phone is capable of clicking some good photos in different lighting conditions. The iQOO Z9s Pro also brings a good battery life, lasting one full day with moderate to heavy usage. That said, if you are looking for an all-around package, then consider this smartphone. 

The OnePlus Nord CE4 has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. It has a frame made out of polycarbonate that is supposed to be very durable and is able to sustain drops. The rear panel too is made of polycarbonate.

The phone offers good performance for the casual user, but is not ideal for gaming. Its display can get really bright outdoors and is also HDR10-certified. While it offers a high refresh rate, its touch sampling rate or sensitivity comes up a bit short while playing FPS games

The Nord CE4 comes with OxygenOS 14, which is based on Android 14. It is highly customisable and offers some handy new features like Fluid Cloud. Some of these features are AI-enabled.

Overall camera performance is quite average for its segment and video recording quality isn’t great either. Battery life is excellent and the phone offers fast wired charging.

The Poco F5 5G is an undeniable powerhouse at this price as it delivers raw performance that comes close to Qualcomm's flagship 8 Gen series SoCs. This, coupled with the good heat management makes the F5 5G an excellent option for anyone looking for a powerful smartphone for gaming. Other areas where the F5 5G excels are its display, good battery life, and slim design. I just wished it felt a bit more premium like its predecessor did. Overall, if you're looking for a powerful gaming smartphone at around Rs. 30,000, the F5 5G is worth considering.
